Best Facebook Groups for Solo Female Travelers
Facebook is one of the best places to find travel discussion groups. Basically any location, any type of traveler, any budget and any age: they all have a Facebook group with thousands of people talking about where to go and what to do when you get there.
If you’re a solo female traveler, rest assured there are groups for you!
I’ve pulled together a list of the best FB groups for women travelers, with an emphasis on solo travel. The groups are active (at least one post per day), with friendly members and active moderators. They’re also all private, as tbh the public ones seemed really sketchy.
This is a companion post to my bigger Facebook group list with 90+ active travel groups. Be sure to check that one out for more recommendations!

Traveling Solo for Ladies 70+ – “When responding to existing solo traveler groups, some more mature ladies noticed we didn’t seem to fit. Some of us had physical limitations due to our “maturity”.

Still looking for shenanigans and new experiences on our own.”
