I never knew how a female solo traveller would change my life at age 20!! I am so grateful for all aspects of solo traveling from the planning, risk-taking, and spontaneous adventures! There are truly a lot of things that make your experience while solo traveling. I’ve followed Ashley for a while and used many of her tips when planning my first solo trip to Europe last summer. Now with this app, I have found a great way to connect with others nearby me and also a perfect outlet to log all of your favorite photos without the expectations and distractions that Instagram has. Ashley has created a beautiful community and tool that will benefit and encourage so many women to say YES to their next adventure! I am really impressed with the mobility of the app and the overall design. The only suggestion that I would like to see is being able to write more than a few sentences on the posts because I like to write a lot haha! 🫶 thank you for being you and creating something so useful and exciting for others!!

Ashley here! Thank you so so much for all of your kind words, it means so much to me. I’m love hearing that you were inspired to travel after watching my videos. I really appreciate the suggestion about being able to write more on your profile! I will definitely consider this, happy travels!
Good in Theory

Loved the idea of this app but there’s def some fixes that need to be done. For example I am unable to edit or update my trip plans I create (if I want to change things I have to make an entirely new plan). I can’t change dates or rewrite the summary of the trip plan at all. When creating a plan you’re also only able to add one country. I feel like since most people are going to multiple countries when they make plans (especially for SEA plans) there should be a feature where you can add multiple countries that you’re trying to visit on your plan. It would def make looking for a plan that fits you wayyyy easier. I also wish there was a possibility for you to click on someone’s profile pic so you can zoom in more and see what they look like. There’s no way for me to gauge what the person I’m talking to looks like (it may just be user error and I have no idea what I’m doing but I’ll update this review if so). I also wish the bff buddy matching was free or at least semi-free. Kinda felt misguided into downloading this app thinking that feature would be free from ads I’ve seen on tiktok and Instagram. Maybe instead the developers could add a feature where non-paying members get 10 or 15 swipes on the bff matching while paying members get unlimited swipes.Edit – Big props to the developers for all the new updates! While my first review was more on the constructive side, I’m really impressed with how they listened to user feedback and used it to make the app so much better! I absolutely love the new features and will definitely keep using this app for all my solo travel plans. <3

Must have app for solo travelers
Ashlovestotravel
As someone who has traveled solo, I’ve tried countless apps to help me stay safe, find new experiences and connect with other travelers and locals & and this one stands out. The app layout made it user friendly, and was immediately able to plan my journey with new friends and discover all the hidden gems along my path!! The ability to meet other solo travelers added the social life I desperately needed with my travels, but without the expense and pressure of the traditional group tours I’m used toWhether you’re a seasoned solo traveler like I am or planning your first solo trip, this app is like having a whole friend group right in your pocket with all your same interests !! Going to be a life-time user for sure.

THIS APP IS SO SMART

As a solo traveler, it can be very overwhelming knowing how to start planning for your next vacation, but downloading this app is STEP ONE! And having this app allows you to have an experience you won’t ever have such as meeting other solo travelers with similar destinations as you. I don’t like having to book online tours because you are confined to a strict schedule and there are spots where you want to stay longer, yet you have a limited time for, and there are other spots that don’t seem enticing to visit. Downloading this app makes your solo traveling experience more memorable by taking a risk and meeting new people. I think that’s the point of traveling.
UI improvements and bug fixes!
