If you have never been on an all-women tour before, this article is for you.
Here are some of the questions solo female travelers ask our team again and again. Read over this list before booking an all-women trip with us to Italy, Spain, Costa Rica, and beyond.
If you still have questions, set up a Discovery Travel Call with our team and let’s chat logistics.
Can I join a trip if I am traveling alone?
Most of our guests join a Bold Spirit Travel all-women tour on their own, so you’ll be in good company.
Many of our guests are single, divorced, widows, and even married women whose spouses do not want to leave the country. Sound familiar?
Our women-only, small-group tours are designed for solo female travelers who want to explore the world, make new friends, and share meaningful experiences without having to plan everything themselves.
You’ll have the support of an experienced tour leader and a welcoming group of like-minded women, along with opportunities to enjoy time on your own. Whether you want to wander through a local market, stop for coffee, shop, or simply soak in the scenery, you’ll have a balance of independence and companionship.
At Bold Spirit Travel, you can arrive solo and leave with new friendships, wonderful memories, and the confidence that comes from discovering the world on your own terms. Our guests are a mix of women who have traveled to many countries and new travelers who are embarking on their very first solo international adventure.
What ages and backgrounds are represented?
At Bold Spirit Travel, adventure has no age limit.
Wondering if you’ll be the youngest or oldest woman on a trip? You’re not alone. We hear this question all the time. As long as you’re 18 or older, you’re welcome to join us. (In fact, many mothers and daughters join our trips.)
Worried that you’ll be the only traveler navigating perimenopause during your trip with a pillbox full of vitamins? Think again. We host women who are in all stages of life. And yes, we take lots of restroom breaks because…this is an all-women adventure, and we get it.
Some of our favorite trips bring together women of different generations. These multigenerational groups are inspiring, full of wisdom, and a wonderful reminder that we can learn so much from one another.
Wise women know it’s healthy to have friends of all ages. Why not make a few new ones while hiking in Scotland, riding a ferry along the Amalfi Coast, or spotting monkeys in Costa Rica?

What is the group dynamic like?
Let’s talk about fitting in. It is scary for most of us to go on a trip with a bunch of people we’ve never met before. The “what ifs” get going and cause anxiety to spike.
- What if I am the oldest one on the trip?
- What if I am not fit enough to do the walks and activities?
- What if everyone comes with a friend or a partner and I’m the only one going solo?
- What if I am left out?
- Will the other women like me? Will they welcome me? (Will I like them?)
- What if we have nothing in common?
The list goes on and on.
The women who join our trips are welcoming, curious about the world around them, and open-minded. Most women come alone.
Our travelers come from a variety of cultures, backgrounds, lifestyles, life circumstances, and ages. We believe that exploring our differences is just as fascinating as discovering our similarities. If you’re a woman who wants to step outside your comfort zone, be a little bolder, and meet new friends along the way, you’re in the right place.
Will I have to do everything with the group?
You do not have to participate in all the activities or the meals. This is your vacation. If you want to skip an activity, simply let your tour leader know so she is not waiting for you.
We do not provide replacement activities if you choose to skip a group experience.
How do I choose the right journey?
Be honest with yourself. What is your spirit craving right now?
- Is it downtime on the seaside to reset from chronic stress?
- Is it an active vacation that allows you to move your body and challenge yourself?
- Is it a spiritual trip that allows for reflection and meditation while you work through a big life shift?
Once you feel into what you most need, it’s time to set up a call with us.
