Beautiful Bali

Monday, August 8th, 2016

Looking for an exciting fall excursion with a group of fun and adventurous women? At Women Traveling The World, we can take you to parts of the world that you’d never dream of going to, at a price you’d never dream of getting away with. In October, come away with us to the stunning coasts of Bali, Indonesia.

Housing Accommodations

Our housing accommodations for this trip are, in and of themselves, a once in a lifetime experience. For our first two nights in Bali, we’ll be staying at the gorgeous Pan Pacific Nirwana Bali Resort. This resort is not only nestled in Bali’s southwest coast, but it’s area is so large that there are 13 temples located on its grounds. Next up, we have the Puri Lumbung cottages. This is a real treat, as you will be able to stay on your own cottage, located on stilts just above the water’s edge. This little getaway bungalow on the sea is nothing short of paradise. Once we depart for Ubud, we will come to the Tjampuhan hotel, which we can feel lucky to call home for four nights. When we’re not going on our elephant excursions and exploring the local crafts markets, you can feel free to relax to your heart’s content at the hotel’s incredibly relaxing stream-side spa, or clear blue pool.

Excursions

All costs for excursions, cultural events, and entrance fees to sights and museums are all covered under the trip fee, and you will be amazed at how much you get for so little. Throughout our journey, we will get to enjoy a wide variety of wild life. Snorkeling off the coast of Menjangan Island, riding elephants in Ubud, and feeding monkeys in the Belimbing village will allow you to get up close and personal with the thousands of species of animals that call Bali home. You’ll also get to experience the more spiritual side of Bali as we explore the island’s virtually ancient wonders of the world: their temples. In addition to their breathtaking temples, you will have the opportunity to meet with an authentic Balinese healer, an experience you’ll surely never have the opportunity to have again.

For the single woman traveler, it can be unappealing to imagine experiencing so many exciting new things alone. That’s why so many women have begun traveling with women just like them, who want the most out of life and who want to experience the trip of a lifetime.

Safety Tips for the Single Woman Traveler

Monday, June 13th, 2016

Visiting a new place always comes with apprehensions.  Especially when traveling alone, being alert and looking out for yourself and your personal items is imperative to a hazard-free trip.  Though most people are friendly and happy to help tourists, some locals use that vulnerability as an opportunity to take advantage and scheme.  Following these safety tips will help you have the most enjoyable, stress-free trip possible.

The Fanny Pack

Nothing screams tourist like a fanny pack, and outing yourself as such so obviously can make you a major target for pit-pockets.  However, the function of a fanny pack, of keeping your valuables close to you, is very useful.  This is why a money belt is the perfect alternative.  Whereas a fanny pack is perfectly visible at all times, a money belt is thinner and meant to be concealed underneath one’s clothing.  This way, all of your valuables are close to your body, but you don’t give off the overt tourist vibes that could get you into trouble.

Odd Behavior

Obviously kindness from a stranger should not be shocking or alarming, but be aware that suspicious behavior such as unprompted conversations and offers of help can be distractions to a greater goal.  Tourists have reported being bumped into and apologized to, only to realize that while they were bumping into Suspect #1, Suspect #2 was taking the wallet and camera out of their bag.  Being vigilant is the best way to stay safe, and if a situation begins to feel unsafe, you can leave it before anything happens.

Don’t Take Everything

Though you may not have a “home” wherever you’re traveling, leaving some of your valuables in a secure place wherever you’re staying is much better than taking everything important out with you.  It may be scary to leave part of your travel money in a locker at a hostel, but that is undoubtedly a safer choice than taking everything with you all the time and risking a disastrous theft.

Traveling as a single person, especially as a single woman, can feel very vulnerable.  That’s one reason why going on a tour with other similar women wanting a positive travel experience is such a great option for those wanting a safe adventure.  There’s safety, and fun, in numbers.

4 Reasons to Travel to Costa Rica

Top 4 Reasons to Travel to Costa Rica

Costa Rica has emerged as a top choice in tropical vacation destinations in recent years, and for good reason. This tiny oasis in Central America (it’s smaller than Lake Michigan!) offers everything a solo traveler could want.  Let’s go over some reasons why you should cross Costa Rica off your travel list this year.

  1. Uncompromised Natural Beauty

If you’re a nature lover, be prepared to fall in love with Costa Rica. The natural beauty is seriously a wonder to behold. Waterfalls? Check. Volcanoes? They have those. Natural hot springs? Naturally. Costa Ricans take the preservation of their rainforests and wetlands seriously. In fact, over 25% of their total landmass is protected and the country is considered a world leader in conservation efforts. Our Women Traveling the World Tour visits some of the most breathtaking sights to be seen, including the Arenal Volcano, surrounding hot springs, waterfalls, and a Hanging Bridges Tour which will suspend you over the impressive rainforest landscape. The beaches of Costa Rica are truly paradise with crystal blue waters and the softest white sand you’ll ever feel between your toes.

 

 

  1. You WILL Encounter Lots of Wildlife

Animal lovers will get up close and personal with all kinds of wildlife. Chill on the beach with enormous iguanas, and make sure to look up in the trees to spot families of monkeys. Hiking in the Costa Rican rainforest is always an adventure, and it wouldn’t be uncommon to spot deers, toucans, and sloths. Costa Rica is also known as a great place to whale-watch and see dolphins in their natural habitat. Whales are most likely to be seen December-March, so our upcoming trip in December is ideal!

  1. Costa Rica is Safe for Single Women Travelers

Costa Rica has been a democracy longer than any other country in Central America and is one of the safest vacation spots for single women. In fact, the country doesn’t even have an army; they outlawed it in 1949. The people of Costa Rica are some of the most cheerful and friendly in the world, and are happy to communicate with tourists. The country was actually ranked number 1 on the Happy Planet Index in 2014. Their national motto Pura Vida (pure life) expresses their philosophy of living optimistically…life is short, live happy!

 

  1. The Food

Costa Rican fare has an emphasis on freshness and good quality ingredients. The national dish is Gallo Pinto, meaning “spotted chicken”, and consists of stir fried rice and beans. Add some scrambled eggs with sour cream or cheese and you’ve got a traditional Costa Rican breakfast. A common snack is fried plantains which are sweet and tasty. Fresh fruit is also common; get ready for the freshest mangoes, papayas, and watermelon you’ve ever tasted. Costa Rica is also home to some exotic fruits you might not have heard of, like Zapotes, Guanábanas, and manzana de agua.

Delicous Costa Rican Cuisines
If you’re looking for the perfect winter getaway this year, Costa Rica is a perfect choice. The natural beauty will leave you in permanent awe, and you’ll have the adventure of a lifetime.

Knowing the Currency Exchange Rate Overseas

Monday, April 27th, 2015

International travel is a wonderful experience that everyone should take advantage of at some point in their life. It gives you the opportunity to submerge yourself into new and different cultures that you otherwise wouldn’t be able to experience simply by staying in the states. Although many wild tell tales of how they backpacked through Europe with very little money in their pockets, there’s still a common understanding whether you travel with nearly nothing, or in the height of luxury, and that’s that you need to know exchange rates.
