JourneyWoman Solo Travel for Women Over 50

JourneyWoman HOT FLASH | That Europe trip just got easier

Published 3 months ago • 2 min read

Dear Reader,
​
Our Switzerland-based partner, Globus Escapes, runs trips off-season, which means fewer crowds, lower prices, and the kind of authentic local experiences. Everything is guided and fully organized, so you can travel with confidence and without stress. As JourneyWoman we want to travel to feel expansive, not exhausting.

And solo travellers...this one's especially for you: selected departures come with no single supplement!

"At Globus, we’re paying a lot of attention to older female travellers and solo female travellers,” says Melanie Born from Globus. “Globus Escapes really lends itself to the freedom of solo travel because we’re taking away concerns about safety without diminishing the independent spirit of solo travel. We’re trying to bridge that gap, especially for older women, to make them feel valued and lifted up in a world that doesn’t always do that."

Dear Reader, After finishing my 400 km walk on Spain’s northern Camino, I will admit to feeling both joy and sadness. Joy that I was able to complete this incredible trek, and sadness that it’s over! That month away feels like a gift. The opportunity to walk in silence, see the ocean and get so connected to my body and nature was incredibly meaningful. In the end, it wasn’t just about getting to Santiago, it was about the journey itself. There is no question in my mind that any woman can do...
