As a woman, one of the scariest parts of solo travel is safety. Sadly, it is a reality that many female travelers face even if traveling in a small group. When I travel solo, I always take precautions such as having a trusted employee from the hotel meet me and pick me up at the airport, and ask the hotel for recommendations on hiring local guides. However, what if you could find your own personal, fully vetted female guide? The great news is that now there is a service for connecting female travelers with vetted female guides around the world. Meet Greether, and its founder Vanessa Karel.
With its tagline “Experience safer travel with a local bestie”, Greether is a leading platform that connects female travelers with local female guides to provide safe, inclusive, and empowering travel experiences. Its mission is to promote cross-cultural understanding and peace through travel.
With a presence in over 1,000 cities and 100 countries, Greether is transforming the way women travel, ensuring that they can explore the world safely while supporting local female entrepreneurs. Greether is committed to fostering global connections that break down barriers and create a more inclusive tourism industry.
