Solo Female Travelers is managed by a global team spread across four continents. Combined, we have visited 160+ countries across all 7 continents (Meg has been to Antarctica – jelly much!).
Our team of local guides host our women-only, 100% female powered trips. You can meet them here.
We have a world to discover, and certainly cannot answer most of the questions posed by the community, which is why the strength of this group and website lies in the diversity, depth of experience and knowledge of our 245,000+ members.
About our Co-Founders
Solo Female Travelers was co-founded and continues to be led by Mar Pages and Meg Jerrard.

After a 15 ear career in the corporate world, she started Once in a Lifetime Journey, a luxury and out of the ordinary travel blog that specialises in exclusive hotels, unique destinations and the least visited countries in 2014.
Passionate about female empowerment and the travel industry, Mar can’t sit still; she is a long-term expat who has lived in 8 countries, worked in over 40 and visited more than 115 countries, and is on a quest to visit them all.

Born and raised in Afghanistan, Fatima is one of seven siblings and the only one in her family to be educated. Both her sisters were married before the age of 15 but she decided to break the mould and go her own way to fight for her dreams.
Through much tenacity and hard work, she managed to go to school, learn English and become a journalism student, a radio host and the coordinator for an Educational and Women Empowerment NGO. In 2021, she made the headlines for becoming the first female guide in Afghanistan before the Taliban took over the country and she was forced to flee to Italy.
