Written by: Tamara Sheward
Drop all preconceptions (not to mention hang-ups) you may have when getting ready for a trip to the sprawling, steaming asylum that is SE Asia.
Female Travel: Choosing a Backpack?
Written by: Tom Griffiths
You are a backpacker, therefore it is your job to put a 'pack' on your 'back'. It is essential that you get a good one. If you are on a long trip, or have never had a backpack before, why not get a new one? The gapyearshop is a good place to start.
Female Travel: A Guide to Japan
Written by: Hannah Simmons
The first thing people said when they heard I was going to Japan as part of my round the world trip was 'Wow, you're brave'. There were times when - thinking about the language (I speak no Japanese) and the squat toilets - I felt inclined to agree.
Female Travel: Who to Travel With
Written by: Gapyear.com
If you're a female travelling alone... well, you're not alone. Travel company AirMiles says that 55% of its customers this year are female, and 10% of those travel on their own. Solo lasses tend to head to exotic destinations like Thailand, while solo lads prefer beach holidays in the Med (pah!).
Female Travel: A Guide to Europe
Written by: Joanne Vasey
Europe - one continent, far too many languages and countless places to go. Where do you start? First, get some money. I worked for mine and spent £1,800 in total for a six week trip.

The place of the female in the country you are visiting will depend on the degree to which Muslim Sharia Law operates.
Female Travel: A Guide to Kenya
Written by: Emma Scott
My time in Kenya was an amazing one - from the highs of my week long safari and trips to the coast, to the lows, realising the prevalence of glue; each bottle with its own child, trying to escape the realities of life on the street. Nairobi was my home for four and a half months, the most dangerous city in Kenya.
Female Travel: A Guide to India
Written by: Olivia Fakoussa
As a female traveller, who went to India all by herself (praying that she would return alive), I feel fit to tell all you girls that it's fine! And it's safe! And it's lovely! And if you want to go, and the only thing holding you back is worry- forget about it and go, believe me!
Female Travel: Shopping in Egypt
Written by: Nikola Mann
Egypt is the spiritual home of the hardcore haggler. The meek and mild are advised to stay within the confines of their hostel, as stepping even a foot outside the front door opens up a wealth of shopping opportunities.
