Also, is there a certain thing no booking platform has ever gotten right for you as a solo female traveler? For me, it's taking into consideration that I am a sober, solo female traveler, and I don't care about the alcohol 😂 Let me see those awesome creatures, beautiful beaches, and enjoy my solo time with myself.

While researching for this trip, it brought up the usual things that always stress me out when I am planning solo travel. Personally, my biggest hurdles are always around hotel vetting. I am not looking for a party hotel at all; I want a quiet, relaxing space. But finding out if a hotel actually fits that vibe, if the specific neighborhood is genuinely safe, and if the overall country dynamics feel secure takes a massive amount of hours and deep-dive research every single time. 👩‍💻

I am really interested to hear from other solo female teavelers. What are your biggest pain points when it comes to booking accommodations solo? Do you find yourself asking these same safety and vibe questions, and what are your go-to strategies for ensuring a place is right for you before you hit buy? 🛋️🛌🛎️

Thanks in advance for any input! Hope everyone has an amazing trip booked in the near future to look forward to 🌍
