our story

In 2021, our founder, Gabs, was feeling stuck. Burned out from her 9–5, heartbroken, and craving an escape. So, she quit her job, packed her bags, and flew to Thailand solo — looking for a fresh start through solo female travel. Little did she know that one trip would change everything.

Two years and countless adventures later, Gabs became stronger, more confident, and completely hooked on travelling as a solo female. But the journey didn’t come without challenges — and something was missing: a community of women to connect with, learn from, and explore the world alongside through women-only group trips.

That’s where Females Flying Solo was born — to create group travel experiences for solo female travellers who want to see the world safely, make meaningful connections, and rediscover their confidence through adventure.

we help women make friends & travel the world

So, in 2023, Females Flying Solo was born — turning a small Facebook group into a worldwide solo travel community for women, hosting UK meet-ups, online workshops, and global girls-only group trips.

Our mission is simple:
To help women make friends and travel the world with confidence.

Solo female travel isn’t just about ticking things off your bucket list — it’s a transformative experience that helps you discover who you truly are.

And while travelling solo as a woman can feel scary, you don’t have to do it alone. Through our safe group trips for women, we’ve got your back every step of the way.

Gabi, founder of Females Flying Solo, inspiring women to travel with confidence.

gabs

in 2021, after burning out from her corporate job and going through a tough breakup, Gabs decided enough was enough. So she quit her job, booked a one-way ticket to Thailand, and went solo!

Along the way, solo travel totally transformed her. Gabs went from low self-esteem and shaky confidence to feeling fearless, powerful, and ready to take on the world. Realising how life-changing this experience was, she knew she could help other women feel the same. So, she came back to the UK with a mission: to build a space where women could make friends, connect and help each other travel the world!
