Women’s Travel Guide

While there are many travel issues that are the same regardless of who you are, where you come from, how old you are, etc. – some travel issues are unique to certain groups. In this case, we’re talking about women travelers. Sure, women have to deal with lots of the same things their traveling male counterparts do, but until we see a man on an emergency quest for tampons in the middle of Indonesia, we’re still going to have our own section here.

The articles in this section cover such topics as women’s health, having sex on the road, travel safety for women, dealing with your period while traveling, packing tips for women – and even hairstyle options for women who’ll be traveling for a long time. Whether you’re still daydreaming about taking a trip, you’ve just bought your ticket or you’re already halfway around the world, the articles you’ll find here can help you answer many of the questions that general travel guides simply don’t cover. And if there’s something you want to see here that you don’t, drop us a note and let us know!
