Women today are more independent and enjoy greater freedom. Because of this, many women are gradually breaking free from the image associated with the term "housewife" and the idea of being protected and safe. If they wish, they can travel alone without worrying about any limitations. A survey by TourRadar.com showed that most women want to have "experiences" when they travel. 65% of those who book trips for adventure, cultural exploration, or nature discovery are women.
“My generation usually prioritizes family first… Everything revolves around family, children, and the family's shared career. And then, I realized I had neglected myself, I had never lived for myself. Until that moment when I got to travel, I realized that I had never known how to love myself before.” - Travel blogger Ha La La shared in Podcast Episode 6: "What does travel bring to women?".
What interesting perspectives do women who travel solo offer?
In modern society, women, especially mothers, often have to shoulder at least two responsibilities: at home and in society. Therefore, solo travel is a great way for women to find their own private space, a place no one else can intrude upon. Independent, free, and less stressful, these experiential trips help women balance their busy lives.
However, beautiful photos, breathtaking scenery, or simply checking in at social media aren't the ultimate goals when these women "organize" their trips. What's important is what they learned from the journey. Upon returning, each person carries with them stories to reflect upon, share, and grow from.
“For me, traveling isn't just about going, exploring, and taking beautiful photos, but also about experiences where I learn, reflect, and grow through my trips. I still remember last Christmas Eve, I packed my backpack and took a bus to the Central Highlands, rented a motorbike, and rode around alone. Many things happened, changing many of my perspectives… In that moment, I learned a lesson: I shouldn't cry. I couldn't cry there because crying wouldn't solve anything. I needed to keep moving forward, and in the end, I made it through.” - Travel blogger Mavis Vi Vu Ky shared about her trip to the Central Highlands.
And there are many more stories from the two female travel bloggers, Ha La La and Mavis Vi Vu Ky, that will be told in Podcast Di-Dich Episode 6: "What does travel bring to women?".
