Travelling solo can be empowering, but for many women, it can feel daunting. At No Stopping Her, we understand your concerns and we are here to take away those worries.
From pre-trip planning to practical tips you can use while you’re travelling, we’ll make sure you’ve got the combined learning from 30 years of solo travel in your pocket. And we’ll be with you every step of the way.
We understand the complexities and emotions you’ll go through and it’s our job to transform your concerns into confidence by offering comprehensive support and guidance tailored specifically for female solo travellers.
I’m concerned it’s too expensive to travel alone.
It’s true that when you travel solo, you don’t have anyone to split the bill with. That goes for taxis, hotel rooms, restaurants… But it doesn’t have to be the reason you don’t travel.
We can help you plan the best experience based on your budget, with no hidden surprises. We’ll negotiate the best single supplements where they’re unavoidable and help you to prepare for likely costs in the country you’re visiting.
It may be a group trip is right for you, where single supplements can be avoided or even sharing accommodation with a likeminded traveller.
We have strategies to manage costs while you’re travelling and a wealth of experience knowing how to get the best exchange rates and avoiding currency transaction fees with the right credit card.
It starts with a conversation – listening to you and your travel dreams. Then step by step, we’ll build a trip that takes you where you want to go. And that includes financing, so you can spread the cost over time.
I’m concerned about my personal safety if I travel alone.
It’s important to be aware of your surroundings and do your research before you travel, but good preparation will lead to an unforgettable journey.
It starts with choosing the right destination, based on how confident you feel. We’re always up to date on any travel advisory alerts, so you don’t have to be, and we know which countries are welcoming to women travelling on their own.
We’ll coach you on the best apps to help with navigation, local language, and how to stay connected. And we’ll make sure you have comprehensive travel insurance that suits the type of holiday you want to take.
You’ll have the No Stopping Her promise that you can call us 24×7 on our dedicated number and someone will help you and an optional support service where we check in with you daily to make sure you’re okay.

I’m worried I’ll get lonely if I travel alone.
It’s really important to think about loneliness, even though you can be lonely in a group, as much as when you’re on your own. Some women feel really nervous about eating dinner in a restaurant, others feel conspicuous on the beach.
We’re all different, but there are ways to build your own coping strategy if loneliness hits you and we’ve got a checklist of ways to find your happiness. From self-care activities to sure-fire ways to start conversations with new people, you’ll be gaining 30 years of real life experience from the team at No Stopping Her.
We also offer an optional support service where we’ll check-in every day to make sure everything is fine.

Not letting others hold us back.
Whether it comes from a place of love, or they think we’re plain crazy, it can be easy to be put off by family and friends. They mean well, but if you’re not feeling confident, it’s just not helpful.

What happens if my travel plans are interrupted?
One thing you can guarantee is that your travel plans will be interrupted at some point, but there are many things we’ll help you prepare for if it does happen.
There are things we can control, like building in flexible tickets you can change or allowing extra time when catching connections. There are many things we can’t control, like the weather and traffic jams.
From the moment you make your booking to your return home, we are here to make sure your journey is as seamless as possible. If something doesn’t go quite to plan, we’re just a phone call away! Our 24×7 dedicated helpline gives you peace of mind that we’re always there to help.

What happens if I fall ill while travelling?
We’ve all heard stories of dodgy street food, jelly fish stings and dicing accidents in cookery class. But what happens if something more serious occurs?
It all starts when we plan your travel – taking into account any existing health issues you have. Making sure you have the right vaccinations for the areas of the world you’re travelling to and are prepared for any local risks. Helping you to understand how safe the water is and what medicines you might want to pack in your own first aid kit.
Most importantly, we’ll make sure you have the right type and level of insurance cover to ensure you’ll be well cared for if the worst does happen.
We regularly talk about looking after your health while travelling in our podcasts, so why don’t you.
