Women’s International Day

Today was International Women’s Day , a day to honour and respect our individuality as women. We have the freedom to express and live our lives to the best of our ability without any social judgment.

I am in the travel industry and I see powerful women out there that the word bravery is an understatement. They inspire me to continue my journey fearlessly as I may inspire someone to do the same.

Women and Travel

Tour companies are catering to females groups because we are travelling more than ever. They are creating unique tours for women around the world to empower them to explore the world with other women.

These types of travel are booming. What better way to empower women to travel more and deeper with the help and support of other women.

There are some that wander off independently & aimlessly in the world and that is ok too. The travel industry also recognizes this new trend. So much so that hotels are starting Solo Themes to cater to them. When I stayed at The Tank Stream Hotel in Sydney Australia, is the best example

Adventures and Bravery

Reading about women’s sense of adventure and bravery is a continuous inspiration for me.I vicariously live in their world’s experiences around the world. This motivates me to follow my dream to travel fearlessly.

From women becoming pilots ; to a very young twenty year old Lexie travelling to every country of the world . This is only small example of pushing boundaries and believing nothing is impossible.

There are some women I follow on social media to inspire me to continue to do what I want to do and be able to push boundaries. Here are my top 5 female adventurers:

4. Jessica Nabongo : an ex UN employee has decided to become to first black woman to travel to every country of the world. She says it is not about being in the World Records book but about showing all women and people of colour to push boundaries in travel .

5. Rachel Rudall: Here is an adventurous soul where she will not say no to any presented adventure. She has travelled to all 7 continents and extensive travel experiences from all over the world.
