How do I find a female travel companion?

Post your destination and dates, state that you are looking for other women, and message solo female travellers whose dates overlap yours. Chat first, video call, then meet somewhere public.

Is solo female travel safe?

For most destinations, yes, with normal precautions: research the area, keep your accommodation private until you trust someone, meet in public, and always leave your itinerary with someone at home.

Can I choose to only meet women on TravelBuddy Connect?

You decide who you reply to. Many women state in their trip post that they are looking for female travel buddies, and answer only those messages.

How to find a female travel buddy as a solo female traveller

Most solo female travellers are not looking for a group tour — they want one or two women heading the same way, on the same dates, with a similar pace. That is a matching problem, and it is easier to solve before you fly than once you land.

Say clearly that you are looking for women to travel with

Write it in your trip post. 'Solo female traveller, Lisbon 12–19 Sept, looking for other women for day trips and dinners' filters your replies far better than a generic post, and it tells the right people they are welcome to answer.

Check the person before the plan

Look at the whole profile, not one photo: previous trips, how they write, whether their story is consistent. Ask a few normal questions about their route. Anyone who dodges simple questions or pushes for private contact straight away is not the buddy you want.

Chat inside the app first, not on a private number
Do a short video call before agreeing to share transport or a room
Keep your own booking for the first night
Send your plan and their profile to someone at home

Make the first meeting small

Coffee, a market, a free walking tour — something public, in daylight, that you can leave after an hour. If it clicks, the multi-day plan comes naturally afterwards.

Women-friendly cities to start with

Lisbon, Kyoto, Ljubljana, Chiang Mai and Split all have large, mixed solo-travel crowds and good public transport, which makes meeting other women simple and low-pressure.
