About Her Travel Circle

Q: What is Her Travel Circle?
A: Her Travel Circle is a community-driven platform that connects solo female travellers with trusted hosts around the world. Whether you’re seeking a safe place to stay or want to host likeminded women, we’re here to make solo female travel feel more welcoming, cost effective and safe.

Q: Is it just for women?
A: Yes. This is a women-only platform designed by and for women. We believe in creating safe, supportive spaces where women can travel freely, form real connections, and feel at ease.

How It Works

Q: How do I use the platform?
A: Once you subscribe and create your profile, you can browse our members/hosts, message them directly or chat on our members only group and arrange your stay. All communication and agreements happen between you and your host; Her Travel Circle simply helps you connect.

Q: Do I book through the site?
A: No. We’re not a booking platform; we’re a connection platform. You and your host handle the details independently.

Q: Is it only for overnight stays?
A: Not at all. Some women offer a spare room; others just want to meet up for coffee or show you around their city. It's about building community, not just finding a bed.

Q: Do I need to stay at someone’s home to use the platform?
A: Not at all. Many women use Her Travel Circle just to connect, whether that’s meeting for coffee, getting local tips, or finding a friendly face in a new city. You’re welcome to use the platform for stays, meetups, or simply building your travel network. It’s about connection, not obligation.

Safety & Trust

Q: How do I know it’s safe?
A: You can view reviews from past guests and hosts, read detailed profiles, and chat with potential hosts before making any arrangements.

Q: What if I feel unsure about a host?
A: Trust your instincts. You’re never obligated to stay anywhere you’re not comfortable with. Our community is built on mutual respect and consent, you’re in control.

Q: Can I stay with another solo traveller like me?
A: Absolutely! Many of our hosts are fellow solo women who understand what you need: a secure, welcoming place to rest, recharge, or share stories over wine.

Q: Are all the hosts women?
A: Yes, only women can host on Her Travel Circle. Some hosts live alone, while others share their home with partners, children, and/or pets. Every listing includes those details, so you’ll know exactly what to expect before you arrange a stay. It’s all about transparency and comfort.

Q: I’m not sure about having someone I’ve never met stay in my home.
A: That’s completely understandable. On Her Travel Circle, you never have to open your door to a stranger. You can chat with potential guests well in advance, read their profile, check their reviews, and only say yes if you genuinely feel they’re the right fit for your space.

Costs & Membership

Q: Is it free to use?
A: We charge a small subscription fee to access the network for a full calendar year. This helps keep the community genuine and supports the safe, ad-free platform. We don’t take any commission on stays.

A: No. Some hosts may ask for a contribution towards costs (airport pickup, meals, etc). You’ll discuss that directly with the host, it’s all about clarity, honesty and consent.

Q: Why don’t you handle bookings or payments?
A: We believe in empowering women to set their own terms. You and your host decide what works best for you. Our role is to help you find each other.

A: Yes! Reviews are a vital part of the community. Sharing your experience helps others make confident decisions and keeps the circle strong.
