Welcome to the very first episode of the Women Traveling Solo Together Podcast. The purpose of this podcast is to share real stories and helpful tips from women who\'ve traveled solo with other solo women travelers instead of going alone.

Our very first guest is Debra Asberry, founder of Women Traveling Together. Debra\\u2019s story began more than 20 years ago when she had a desire to raft the Colorado River but could not find a travel partner in her immediate circle. Fast forward today, the company has grown to running over 80 trips all around the world and has built a solid community of women who travel not just for the growth factor but also for the sheer fun and the ability to go see the places they have been dreaming about their entire lives.

In the coming episodes, we will be sharing stories from trip leaders and travelers. We\\u2019ll talk about everything from the where they have gone, why they\'ve gone and the fun stories that they\'ve had along the way. I can\'t wait to share what\'s coming up next on the Women Traveling Solo Together Podcast.

Key Takeaways:

  • Debra shares how Women Traveling Together started from a dream trip she wanted to take 20 years ago
  • How a chance conversation with another woman who had the same desire to travel led her to find other women who had the same desire for travel
  • From the first international trip in 1998, Women Traveling Together is now running over 80 trips all around the world
  • Solo women travelers are more socially accepted now as compared to 20 years ago
  • Women are so much more ambitious now about where they want to go, what they want to do, and are more willing to create lifelong friendships
  • Solo traveling has nothing to do with marital status - a woman could be married, single, divorced, or widowed.
  • It is now easy for women to turn their dreams of travel and make it a reality.
  • Debra shares what a trip leader is, the process of becoming one, and the responsibility it entails
