Every once in a blue moon you hear of a story that makes your heart jump. The kind that sends you dreaming and that you want to share with everyone you meet. The kind of story I heard over dinner at the Sun Siyam Vilu Reef resort in the Maldives. I was just enjoying my grilled fish when Shammun, the resort's Media Manager, told me the story of Mama and Papa,[...]
Championing women in adventure travel and the outdoor sports is one of my passions, and I love having Travelettes as a platform to share my discoveries of inspiring women with a huge audience. Films are another passion of mine, so you can imagine that every year around this time I'm super excited for the program launch of the European Outdoor Film Tour (E.O.[...]
There is no better way to explore a city than through local eyes. That's why our writers always try their best to find out what the coolest local hot spots are, the trendiest bars and restaurants, and where locals go to hangout. But sometimes, not even a Travelettes Guide to a new exciting city cuts it, and you want to actually connect with a local in the fl[...]
Whenever I look for people to be featured as our Travelette of the Month, I am drawn towards women who in one way or another defeat stereotypes and travel differently to everybody else - or at least most other people. Swati Sharma's story caught my eye on Facebook - she posted about her trip in our group as an inspiration for other women dreaming of a sim[...]
Who doesn't dream about a trip to Iceland? The sparkling ice of the Glacier Lagoon, the black sand of volcanic beaches and the colourful houses all over Reykjavik. You will have heard of the Golden Circle before or of Thingvellir, the valley resulting from tectonic movements, where you can walk and snorkel between the continents. You might imagine driving al[...]
Italy, oh picture-perfect Italy. The dream of many travelers and the place where even more have left their hearts already. Whether it is the food, the architecture, the natural landscape, the history, the gelato, the fashion or the Italian accent - we are all in love with Italy! We want to make sure you get enough of Italy in your Instagram feed, to find [...]
Before I met Amanda, I knew her husband Youssef. While I had fallen in love with Morocco, I wasn't really keen on the food and made it my mission to change that. I looked for food tours in Marrakech and came across Marrakech Food Tours, the company run by Youssef and Amanda. It not only changed my perception of Moroccan food completely but also introduced me[...]
In case you haven't noticed yet, I'm a huge film buff. I love watching all sorts of films, but I'm particularly interested in documentaries by and about women. And if I find a film I like, I usually tell everyone about it. Another thing I love is to introduce you to inspiring women, and this film I recently watched on Netflix means I can do both. Missi[...]
Every month we like to introduce you to an inspiring female traveler to hear creative stories from all over the world. This month we are proud to introduce Rita Maria - and if you've been a long-time follower of Travelettes you might remember her, as she used to be a regular contributor to our very own blog! Rita is not a typical travel writer though - a[...]
I love meeting inspiring women travelers - even if it is just online. And because I don't like to keep their stories to myself, I love writing up our conversations for our inspiring women series. Sissi Korhonen reached out to us a few weeks ago, asking about guest posting for our blog, and casually wrote the sentence, 'I will be away from internet connect[...]
