Welcome to JourneyWoman: The first solo travel website for women over 50
Welcome to JourneyWoman, the world’s largest and most trusted resource for female solo travel. Founded in 1994 in Toronto by the late Evelyn Hannon, we are the world’s original solo travel publication for women. Evelyn is regarded as the first travel writer to focus on women’s solo travel and influenced significant change in the travel industry.
In 2019, JourneyWoman was acquired by family friend Carolyn Ray who aspires to help women live the life of their dreams by embracing conscious, sustainable travel that empowers ALL women. Carolyn combines her passion for travel, women’s empowerment and experience as a marketing executive and entrepreneur to create the world’s largest resource for women who love travel.
