About A Solo Woman Traveling
A Solo Woman Traveling was founded in 2024 by Melissa Byron, a seasoned solo traveler who has explored more than 40 countries since 2009. After years of writing one of the most trusted solo female travel blogs, Melissa created boutique small group tours in Europe designed exclusively for women who want more than the typical big bus experience.
Why You’ll Love These Tours
Our tours are intentionally small, with no more than 12 women. They are designed for connection, culture, and a slower pace of travel. We begin in iconic cities like Lisbon, Paris, Athens, or Catania, then venture off the beaten path to discover hidden gems. Each trip includes foodie-focused cultural experiences, boutique hotel stays, and daily free time so you can explore at your own pace.
What Makes Us Different
Our promise is simple. No crack of dawn departures. No constant hotel changes. No following a flag. Instead, we offer thoughtfully curated itineraries that balance group activities with freedom, so travel feels like joy, not a schedule. Women join our trips to build friendships, experience meaningful travel, and gain the confidence that comes with exploring the world together.
