I’m a man — is this program for me too?
Yes, 100%! While this program is designed with women travelers in mind, it’s for anyone who cares about safety, travel, and empowerment. If you travel solo yourself, have women in your life you care about, or want to be part of a safer travel culture, you’re in the right place.

Great question! By joining, you'll gain insight into real challenges solo women face, along with tools, strategies, and awareness that help create a more supportive environment — whether you're a partner, father, friend, colleague, or fellow traveler. This knowledge can help you better advocate, understand, and uplift the women around you.
***
I’m not sure I fit the “solo woman traveler” profile. Will I still benefit?
Absolutely. While the focus is on solo women travelers, the skills and strategies taught in the program are universally empowering. From situational awareness to destination planning and digital safety, you’ll walk away better equipped for your own journeys — and to help others travel smarter and safer too.
