To The Solo Female Traveler

Never lose your spark, stop growing, learning, and seeking adventure.

To The Solo Female Traveler
Haley Daffron

Here’s to all the fearless females not afraid to chase her dreams and see the world, alone. You seek adventure at every turn, ready for whatever is about to come your way. You know it isn’t always “safe,” but you trust your intuition and run freely with the wind. You grow in ways you never thought you could and learn all about life on the journey.

Traveling solo is such an awarding opportunity. Often females get uncomfortable with the idea, because we’re taught at such a young age that it isn’t safe. We’re taught to do nothing alone, because the outcomes can be lethal. There’s so much we miss out on when we listen to those messages and live in fear. You don’t though, you seek all the opportunities of traveling solo and I admire all those females not afraid to chase what they’re looking for around the world alone.

You figure things out on your own. There’s nothing like being lost in a foreign country, not knowing the language, and having to figure it out. You have no one there to depend on to get you out of the mess that you thought would be a good idea. It is such a rewarding feeling when you finally make it out... there’s also not much that is more terrifying than this either. You grow though, you build up your bravery and you figure it out, and that is such a beautiful thing.

You are incredibly independent. When you’re traveling solo you don’t have to worry about who wants to do what, you get to do what you want to do. You’re the boss and in charge of making your own decisions. Maybe you want to get up at 5 AM and see the sunrise, you can do that. Or many you want to sleep until noon and party all night, you get to do that too, it’s completely your choice, there are no group choices holding you back. You learn what you like and what you don’t like and are unapologetic for what you don’t like.

It’s an incredible experience to travel solo and I admire all those females who are bold enough to do so. You’re incredible, adventurous, and fearless. So, to all those solo female travelers out there, never lose your spark, never stop growing, learning, and seeking adventure.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
