For women who love to travel Australia on their own

Among the countries I have been to, Australia in my opinion the most friendly for women travelling solo and for backpacking too. This is the reason why I love to spend a long time there, I always feel good and can never get enough of it !


The land down under is a great destination for those you love backpacking and especially for women who want to make their first solo travel experience !

I really love to travel OZ alone. My first trip took place almost 6 years ago and it has been a memorable experience, I was so enthusiastic about it, that on the last days of my stay I started visualizing my following trip. It did not take place soon after though, I had to wait 4 years but finally in 2008 I could make it. During my first and second trip, I traveled for several months completely on my own and met quite a few women travelling solo too.

For this reason I thought it would have been nice and usuful to put together my travel experience around Australia, and share them with you who want to get to know Australia closer, spend some time there and like me, enjoy travelling on your own. I have created a Solo Travel Check List for you to consult before you start planning your trip and also during your travel.

There are always friends, people around me who keep asking me why I travel alone ? And why I find it so exciting ? Well the answer is easy: if you choose to solo travel Australia you gain a closer approach with the natural environment, at the same time you have the opportunitity to interact directly with the locals, thus getting to know their traditions, their culture and what matters to them.

Travelling alone opens up your heart, it nourishes your mind and your soul. Some people think it is boring and not gratifying, on the contrary I feel it is the best way to enrich your life by getting to know other people and places, with no barriers inbetween. You can relate to other solo travellers from all over the world, as well sharing with them precious information, learn from their experience and their tips.

I can highly incourage any woman who want to travel solo around Australia not to think too much about it, just do it ! You will be rewarded by the Australian magic charme and its natural wonders.
Moreover Australia is truly a safe country, even though general caution obviously apply in any circumstances you are !
