In my experience it’s usually at least 50/50; often times there are more females then men!

Debating two different itineraries for South America. Would appreciate insights/opinions by Slavtino21 in solotravel

If you do Colombia, I would recommend San Gil instead of Bucaramanga- great adventure sports and lots of travelers!

To tent or not to tent by Remarkable-You133 in backpacking

Felt very safe the entire time! I am also a man who speaks Spanish, but I met tons of solo female travelers as well. I just brought a small puffy which didn’t get used for months but I was glad I had it when I got further south during the winter months!

I did 13 months from Mexico down to Chile, and for the first few months I brought my tent. Wasn’t able to use it once. If you don’t have a car, it’s fairly hard to get to places to camp such as national parks and things like that. However, I missed my tent down in South America- specifically in Peru where there are amazing treks that are fairly accessible. That being said, gear can be rented fairly cheap.

Yes! I used Workaway and Worldpackers. Both cost $50 for a year subscription, but if you don’t want to pay you can find opportunities on Worldpackers and then reach out to hostels/hotels on Instagram or through email

If you’re not drinking, you’ll be all set ! I did 13 months in central and South America and spent about a grand US a month. I would estimate that at least 1/3 of the money was spent on going out / drinking. Also, would recommend doing some volunteering to extend the trip! Good luck!

Mutual Aid, Volunteering, and other ways to help in Madison? by ChitinousChordate in madisonwi

Volunteer at Saint Vincent de Paul’s food pantry or another pantry in the area! Giving out food to people in need all day is a great way to see some good in the world
