The Girls' Guide To Travel

We all know that women make the best travellers, but who couldn't use a little extra know-how and confidence before setting off into the unknown?

Our indispensable Girls’ Guide To Travel is packed with top tips to help you stay safe and get more from your travels. And it's in a handy PDF document so you can download and print it off for reference if you want.

From what to wear to basic bushcraft to answering the call of nature in the middle of nowhere, we’ve compiled some great advice from women who’ve travelled far and wide. There’s also a handy list of websites dedicated to women's travel to help you plan your journey.

The greatest woman traveller of all time

Despite women being as adventurous as men when it comes to travelling, it’s the men who’ve gone down in history while the women have largely been forgotten.

Here at Wanderlust we want to redress the balance, so we asked you to vote for your top woman traveller of all time.

Thanks for all your votes. We'll be publishing the results of the poll and a list of the most popular ladies that we missed off our list in the June/July issue of Wanderlust magazine, on sale on 22 May.
