For many young women, travel is a rite of passage as they enter adulthood. It’s a chance to explore the world beyond your hometown and create memories with your friends that will last for a lifetime.
Scrolling through your Instagram feed, it’s not hard to find pictures of sun-soaked girls in bikinis having fun on a Bali beach, breathtaking views of the bay Down Under, or midnight raves in Thailand. These popular destinations are popular for a reason, but they can have their downsides. Thousands of tourists descend on these beauty spots every year, so expect long queues, packed trains and buses, uncomfortable hostels, and fully-booked restaurants that you don’t have a chance of getting a table in.
