So She Travels VickyFlipFlop

I take a look back at the wonderful female travellers I've had on the podcast this season. After 10 episodes I've had some interesting conversations and so I just wanted to highlight some of the main points we've made about female travel. From media representation, to female safety abroad and the financial side of being able to travel, here's a look at what is stopping women from just going for it when it comes to travel. 

I’m joined by Becki Enright. She’s lived in Cambodia, Greece and now Austria. She’s travelled to some destinations a few of us would never even dream of. Places like North Korea, Iran, Palestine and currently, Tibet. Her whole ethos is to travel to change perceptions, and wants to show us that the media story isn't the only one out there. She's one of the few bloggers with a deeper understanding of the destinations she visits. Find out more at https://vickyflipfloptravels.com/dangerous-destinations/.
