Travelling has never been more fun. Thanks to the numerous reels, vlogs, and blogs that flood our timeline, we are made aware of so many unexplored places day in and day out. Whether it is for a couple of days or a long haul, social media makes sure you have the information you want before planning your vacation. However, if you are a solo female traveller, consider downloading some apps to make your trip a seamless one.
The Top Apps For Solo Female Travellers:
1) Maps.me And Google Maps
Both apps will help you navigate the roads and streets. And the best part? They are free! Only difference? Maps.me works even in offline mode, while Google Maps selectively guides travellers when not connected to the internet. For example, with Google Maps, options like transit, bicycling, and walking directions aren't available offline. Also, because of the absence of traffic and other road problems, you may not get hold of alternate route options or accurate travel durations.
2) Google Translate And Duolingo
Duolingo has emerged as the go-to learning app for linguaphiles. The app, however, is a translator too. Armed with a functional translator, Duolingo thus helps you to easily communicate with a native speaker during your travel. Google Translate needs no introduction of course, but the apps may not be fully functional offline. So take a note of this!
3) Couchsurfing And NomadHer
NomadHer is solely for solo female travellers. Via this app, one can find a companion during trips, get female-friendly accommodation, and information about the place where you are put up. Meanwhile, Couchsurfing is for all genders. Via their hospitality exchange service, one can request short-term homestays for free or interact with other travelers. Moreover, local events get listed on these apps, so you can taste the regional flavours too!

May not be a travel app, but downloading Clue can prove to be very useful before your vacation as it can track your menstrual cycle, ovulation time, symptoms, and the lifestyle measures you should take to make your period days comfortable. The app has optional calendar reminders, via which you can predict your fertile window.
5) My Safetipin
Your safety should sit right on top of your list before you hit the road. Ensure this by downloading the My Safetipin app, and traverse new cities and neighbourhoods without much worry. Backed by Safetipin (safety apps for women), a social organisation, the free app uses crowd-sourcing data and allows you to have full control over your mobility.
6) BlaBlaCar
BlaBlaCar offers carpooling services between two destinations. The charges vary based on duration, distance, and other factors. Also, the driver decides how much to charge per seat, but overall, it guarantees a comfortable travelling, as all of them are pretty experienced.
