She champions solo female travel and has ticked 38 counties off her travel bucket list. Her love of travel has seen her hold many odd jobs in various continents. She has worked as an ESL teacher, a sheep farmer, a sea turtle conservationist, an assistant auditor and mountain hut caretaker. She is a hodgepodge of quirks and talents who loves meeting new people, practicing her 5 languages and sharing in adventures with other intrepid explorers.

Traveling Solo Doesn't Mean Traveling Alone
Vacations aren't supposed to be stressful. Yet sometimes we create stress for ourselves by planning an overly elaborate trip at an overly crowded destination, going to great lengths to please everyone.
Here's a solution: reward yourself by traveling on your own, to one of the most remote (and fun) locations on Earth – Antarctica!
Don't be concerned about traveling to the Polar Regions alone. You won't be the only one. It's a growing trend, and it's now easier than ever. And luckily, expeditions like one on small expedition ship Ocean Endeavour will provide you with wellness and pampering, or as much solitude as you'd like, while also offering great companionship along the way.
Solo Travel for Women
Inspired? Curious about taking your own expedition to the Polar Regions?
There are many diverse expedition options for women, and for women solo travelers. In fact, single and solo travelers can even take advantage of No Single Supplement pricing on voyages on Ocean Endeavour Single Inside cabins.
Whether to the Arctic or Antarctica, contact a Polar Travel Adviser to get started planning your own expedition!
