On my first ever solo trip, to keep me company, I brought along the works of wonderful travel writers like Michael Palin and Bill Bryson, and although they were fine companions, what I really wanted were more travel narratives written by women. For that reason, I put a call out on social media, for submissions to my book, and was inundated with amazing true stories from solo female travellers.

My anthology of true solo female travel stories - ‘A Girl’s Guide to Travelling Alone’ is available in 13 countries on Amazon. Please write a review (good or bad!) Thanks so much!


There are wonderful stories in this book. Some will make you laugh until your sides hurt, some will make you cry. All will make you want to keep reading.

This collection of female travel stories is funny, engaging and so wonderfully relatable. It’ll make you laugh, cry, say “that’s me!!”. It’ll also make you want to pack your backpack right away and head off somewhere exciting.

I really want to seize the day and find the courage to set off on some solo travels for the first time next year, and I feel this book has given me a confidence boost and taken me one step nearer to realising my dream.

This is a great anthology of tales from feisty females from both sides of the Atlantic that will amuse, inform, inspire, and maybe even horrify. The stories are diverse and enjoyable.

This reminds you of the possibility, the power, the humour, the humanity and the rewards that come with boldly stepping out of your comfort zone.
