Solo Female Traveler is a site devoted to my writings about my travels, close to home and across the world, usually alone and forever loving it. Most parts of the earth I have not yet begun to touch, so I’ve stepped up my travels of late in a quest to experience more of the diverse ways of life that are spread around the globe. I left the U.S. seven months ago to spend a lengthy time abroad but have held onto my property there. The world is mine to explore, but my home is mine to keep.
No matter where I go, if I open a map of the world I’ll see that this town, this city, this region where I stand is a barely visible speck on the page. I travel to bring each of these tiny pieces of the earth to life in my mind and to try to understand in what ways various parts of the world are both interconnected and disconnected. As I feel the beat of the people, as I talk to them and walk with them I’m able, to a small extent, to see life through their eyes. When I travel, I unlock for myself some of the mysteries of the earth. When I write, I attempt to bring the world to life for others while giving myself a sharper understanding of what I’ve found. I hope here on my blog as well as in your life you’ll get to experience as much of the world as you wish.
Woot! Nice one Sabina… great minds think alike as you know. Glad your wp-ninja stayed with you through thick and thin, and looking forward to reading more of your stuff!

Sorry I didn’t beat Nick to the punch; old folks on this side of the world hafta sleep, too!
Looking forward to seeing you fill these pages up with your entertaining and informative travel stories.

I can’t remember from where I found your blog, but I found it in the last few days and just thought I’d tell you I’ll be following along! I’ll even be posting a link on my other blog (not the one I linked here) to my favourite of your posts – the Jerusalem Jeweler series.

Hey, just found your blog through the comment you left on my one:) Your website looks so good!
Thank you for stopping by, and I’m curious to know where you are now?
Ramadan is almost over and for sure life will be more funny after that, but it’s still very interesting to be here now!
Take care wherever you are:)

Hi, Dianne. I’m glad you found me. And I’m glad you think the photos are good – they’re all mine and I think they’re pretty bad

I too just found you while searching on solo travel. I leave for my first 10 day solo trip to Isla Mujeres, Mexico in 14 days. Your statement about the gift of solo travel… that you get to meet people. That is my goal… as well as wanting to better know myself through the reflection of those people I meet. I was looking for something when I typed in my google search… and I found you and your site. Thank you. Enjoy.

Laura, that’s great
I’m really glad you found my site, and I hope you have the time of your life in Mexico. There’s so many friendly people there – you’ll meet some.

Hi Sabrina, your new website looks great. The simple and yet contrast header is eye catching and thats how i found you. Would like you to know that i am following your travel adventures whenever i can. By the way, have you consider coming our way, a beautiful tropical country called Malaysia? Take care.

Thanks a lot, Springflower! Malaysia was actually the first Asian country I visited. I found the people to be incredibly friendly. I might go back someday

Nice blog…
I do have a long term plan to make a lot of money before I turn 25 and then go out on a year long cruise around the world…
Will definitely be following your blog.
Cheers,
Suhas

Hi, Suhas. Thank you! I hope your dreams come true.

Wow! I love to travel but somehow, I can’t find a travelmate with me. I wish to go travel solo just like you, but I don’t have the gut to do so.
Anyway, feel free to visit my travel and living blog. Have a nice trip.

Hi, Diana. I visited your blog. It looks great! I don’t think traveling alone requires a lot of guts. You can do it

Hello Sabina,
I’m so glad I found this site! Perfect timing. I’m thinking of doing my very first solo trip (probably in February 2012 for one-two weeks). Do you have any suggestions as to where I should take my first trip?
Thanks,
Krystal
