WRITING: 7 Enticing Cities for First-Time Solo Female Travelers
Sorry men, not trying to leave you out, but this one is for the ladies! I mean, you totally can read it, and most of it would actually still be applicable to you!
I don’t have to tell you that Turkey is a favorite country of mine. If you are new here, then you might not know that I fell in love with Turkey back in my single days. While Turkey at that time was considered modern, I found it to still be somewhat conservative for women traveller. The city atmosphere have definitely changed over the last 8 years, but I still hold true to some of my suggestions for female travellers to more rural areas.
I wrote an article featured on Women on the Road titled Female Travel to Turkey: 7 Enticing Cities for First-Time Solo Travelers. From my many trips around this country, most as a single gal, I loved sharing the 7 cities (along with some travel suggestions) solo female travellers should check out!
Here is the start of the article:
In 2008 I boarded a plane by myself to move to Turkey, a country I had never been to before, for at least two years.
Even though I was a well-traveled college graduate, I see now my innocence in making such a big move just one year out of university.
And you know what?
The solo move to Turkey was one of the best decisions I have ever made, and it’s one of the reasons I now live here again today.
Best Turkish cities for solo women travelers – at least I think so
I love this country, what I know and what I have yet to discover. But if it’s your first time and you’re on your own, here are seven wonderful Turkish cities that would make a great starting point for your travels….
I would love to hear if you would travel to Turkey! Or if you have, what cities would you suggest?
