We know traveling as a woman alone can sometimes be tricky,  from worrying about safety to finding an all-girl dorm. So if you’re a female backpacker or solo traveler, have been traveling or are planning to hit the road alone in the near future, we want to hear from you!

We’re looking to find out what makes female backpackers tick, so why not help us out by telling us about yourselves – share you travel plans, travel tales or top places to visit, in our biggest ever survey of female travelers!

What’s more, anyone who fills in the survey can enter our prize draw to win a copy of High Heels and a Head Torch: The Essential Guide for Girls who Backpack by Chelsea Duke, courtesy of Pan Macmillan publishers. It’s the essential guide for any girl on the road!

The three girls that send us the best travel tips will all get a copy of the book – enter at the end of the survey, or send your answers to competitions@hostelbookers.com, with the title ‘Women’s Travel’ in the subject line). The results will be published here on the 24th-30th August.

We’ve also got some exciting stuff coming up in the future for all single female travelers - so check our website or our new blog for more information!
