5,000 + women took part in the LARGEST EVER Solo Female Travel Survey!

Click here for the 2020 Solo Female Travel Trends Survey Results


To continue giving a voice to women who travel on their own, and to normalize traveling solo, Solo Female Travelers and SheFari launched the first of an annual survey on Solo Female Travel behaviors and trends.

With a 72,000 member community, this will be the LARGEST survey on the topic of Solo Female Travel ever published!

Believe it or not, despite women booking over 80% of travel, little comprehensive research has been done on solo female travel trends… that means companies are simply offering what they think you want.

So why don’t we tell them what you actually want?!

Solo Female Travelers is one of the first global communities of women who travel solo. We have over 72,000 members from all over the world and are committed to empowering women to travel solo on their own terms.

SheFari connects women through transformative journeys, from unique retreats to unforgettable group adventures. Ideal for solo travelers, SheFari trips offer a variety of activities and styles created for dynamic women.


Congratulations to our Giveaway Winners!!
