People often assume the hardest part about travelling is finding the time or saving the money.
But for so many women, the biggest challenge is much simpler:
Finding someone to go with.
Maybe your friends are settling down, your partner isn’t interested in travelling, or you’ve spent years waiting for someone else’s calendar to line up with yours.
If that sounds familiar, you’re far from alone.
Every week I hear from women saying things like:
“I’d love to go, but none of my friends can afford it.”
“My partner doesn’t enjoy travelling.”
“I don’t feel confident going on my own.”
The dream isn’t missing.
It’s just waiting for the right people.
It’s easy to tell yourself:
“Maybe next year.”
“Maybe when my friend gets more holiday.”
“Maybe when someone finally says yes.”
But before you know it, years have passed.
One of the biggest lessons travel has taught me is that life doesn’t always wait for perfect timing.
Sometimes you have to create the opportunity yourself.

Travelling solo doesn’t have to mean feeling isolated.
Today there are amazing communities where women share advice, encourage one another and even meet up for adventures together.
That’s exactly why I created The Solstice Society.
Not everyone is ready to book a group trip.
Some women simply want somewhere to ask questions.
Others are looking for destination inspiration, travel friends or reassurance before taking that first step.
The Solstice Society is a free community where women can connect, share experiences and support each other—whether they’re planning their first solo trip or their fiftieth.
For women who’d like to experience the freedom of solo travel with the comfort of travelling alongside like-minded people, Sol & Solstice hosts carefully designed group experiences.
From UK meet-ups and day trips to unforgettable adventures abroad, every trip is created with community at its heart.
You arrive solo if you want to.
You leave with new friendships.

If you’ve been searching for women to travel with, perhaps the answer isn’t finding one perfect travel buddy.
Maybe it’s finding a community.
Because once you’ve found your people, the world suddenly feels a lot smaller.
Whether you’re dreaming about your first solo trip or planning your next big adventure, we’d love to welcome you.
