Women on the Road

Hi! I'm Leyla and through Women on the Road, I've been providing inspiration and advice on solo female travel since 2007. A former foreign correspondent and diplomat, I've had the privilege to visit 99 100 countries so far (and no, I'm not finished yet!).

For those of you getting ready to travel right now, you'll find plenty of inspiration on these pages. 

But if you're not packing your bags just yet, this is the perfect time for armchair escape and planning those future trips.

Whichever it is, if you're over 50, curious and independent, a traveler at heart and in love with the world, you're in the right place.
