My first morning in Rapa Nui* broke with rain. The incandescent sky of the previous day had been quickly overtaken by storm clouds fetched by the fleet Pacific winds. Overnight, the wind howled over...
I came to Agra on a day trip from Delhi, intending to see the famous monument to love, the Taj Mahal. But I left with two love stories, not one. You see, I also...

Yes, folks. This is the morning that supplied the image on the banner of this Page. I suppose I'm biased, but I still firmly believe that I've got the best morning sunrise at Ahu Tongariki.
The clouds were puffy in just the right way, the sun rose at an angle and beamed right behind the tallest moai. It was blue and green and yellow - the colours of living nature.

Female Asian/Muslim travellers from the more conservative sides of the world have our specific hesitations about solo female travel. And yet, here I am - and how?
Well, for one thing, did you know it is getting easier and easier for us women to specifically visit and be hosted by *other women* elsewhere in the world? While certainly unusual among their fellows, many of them are nonetheless from communities and backgrounds not too different from us!
Check out examples on Female Travel Bloggers (and my contribution)!

Women Breaking the Glass Ceiling in the Travel Industry
Support these amazing women-owned travel businesses that empower women in the travel industry to break the glass ceiling arou...I personally prefer being hosted by a local woman, ideally from a rural or otherwise still connected to the local traditional background.
