The Insider's Guide to Budget Travel

Are you a female backpacker or solo traveler? Have you or are you planning to hit the road alone in the near future? Then we want to hear from you!

We know traveling as a woman alone can be trying at certain times – from worrying about safety to hostels without hairdryers, and we’re on a mission to find out more about what women travelers want.

So why not help us out by telling us about yourselves – share you travel stories, plans of jetting around the world, or top places to visit, in our biggest ever survey of female travelers!

And then there’s the reward…anyone who fills in  the survey can enter our prize draw to win a copy of High Heels and a Head Torch: The Essential Guide for Girls who Backpack by Chelsea Duke, courtesy of Pan Macmillan publishers. It’s the essential guide for any girl on the road!

The three girls that send us the best travel tips will all get a copy of the book – enter at the end of the survey, or send your answers to competitions@hostelbookers.com, with the title ‘Women’s Travel’ in the subject line). The results will be published here on the 24th-30th August.

We’ll also keep you posted with some exciting stuff we’ve got coming up for all your ladies out there – check back here soon for more information!
