With summer on the horizon, you might be turning your mind to your next getaway… But what if you don’t have someone to go with?
In a recent interview, Hostelworld’s CEO Gary Morrison said that a surge in solo travellers – especially young female backpackers – is reshaping the travel industry. So why are more women taking the leap and travelling solo?
Nuala McGovern was joined in the Woman’s Hour studio by two solo travelling experts – journalist Chanté Joseph and Solo in Style blogger and community founder Deborah Ives. They spoke about how they got into travelling on their own and their advice for others wanting to go it alone!
Listen to the full discussion on BBC Sounds – it’s the Woman’s Hour episode from 7 May.
