I attended TedxMontrealWomen yesterday and while this post isn't about travel, it's about women empowerment.
I want to leave you with a few key points from Angela Lee 's talk, titled, because I think they can also be applied to travel.1)
Is there an unconscious bias at play where you think, "women can't/don't do that! "
Of course, these points can be applied to pretty much any situation, but for travel - especially solo travel - I think women have to do these three things to take the plunge and do it.
