But sadly, the world is a less than perfect place, and we do have to be aware of those differences. I won’t let them stop me from traveling on my own, and I trust you won’t either.”
Her blog—titled aptly Women on the Road—is a safe space that provides women with intelligent travel planning tools, creative tactics for spending less, and advice on making money to fund your travels, alongside essential information to help women stay safe and deal with unfamiliar situations on the road.
“Women on the Road exists to help women with the nuts-and-bolts of solo travel: how to plan a trip, how to stay safe, what to take, how to budget, how to avoid getting lonely—all the things you face before, during, and after you travel,” writes Giray Alyanak. “We are curious, smart, enterprising, enthusiastic, inspired or dynamic—we are women who want to see the world on our own terms.”
Based in rural Eastern France, Giray Alyanak continues to travel and encourages women to do the same. “Forget the partner, forget the doubts—you can own this!” she writes.
And while international travel might not be encouraged these days, she might just inspire you to travel locally, and on your own.

]]>Fall hasn’t yet settled in with heavy rain and cloudy skies and the days are still warm while the nights are cooler. This type of weather is enjoyable for walking and sightseeing if you’re visiting a city. This is also the perfect combo if you’re opting for a seaside vacation, since the sea is still at a pleasant temperature for bathing, and the nights are chilly enough for a good sleep.
If you’re someone who prefers to avoid big crowds or jam-packed beaches, taking an off-season vacation might be ideal for you. Especially if you’re travelling solo, you can use this to your advantage and have a peaceful trip filled with “me-time” and self-reflection.
Last minute travel offers are usually a lot cheaper than the ones in peak season. You can easily find sweet deals for a fraction of the price. This is especially useful if you’re travelling on a budget and trying to cut costs. It is also a lot easier to find accommodation at this time, since the crowds of tourists have scattered away by now, leaving you with more staying options to choose from. Some hotels even offer half-price room bookings in this period.
And perhaps the most satisfying thing about travelling off-season is the fact that, while everyone else is getting back to work, your holiday is just beginning.

]]>The post Traveling Alone Vs Traveling with Mates appeared first on Traveler Dreams.
]]>We’ll weigh the pros and cons in this article to give you a little boost in your decision-making. Whether you’re planning your first trip alone or deciding to go on a small journey with friends – both choices are well worth trying at least once.
Since you’ll be steering your own ship, taking other people’s considerations into mind won’t be an addition to your list of things to do. You get to pick your own time, which places you want to visit and which places aren’t worth it at all.
The freedom of traveling alone helps you to experience a side of life that’s new and exciting. Not to mention – it will make you feel like a totally independent traveler.
On the downside, you’ll have to send your friends a few pictures since you won’t have their company, but hey you can always meet other lone wolves while traveling solo too!
When traveling with a group, there’s always that person who takes pictures and records them for everyone to see afterward. The joys of traveling with a group are warm and inviting, plus you won’t have to deal with tough situations all by yourself.
The downside? Having to make sure that everyone’s views are aligned and that people aren’t late to the plans.
Either way – traveling solo and traveling with friends is a memorable experience regardless.
