She Travels, She Conquers: Honouring Women Explorers This Women’s Day
Travel isn’t just about destinations; it’s about stories, courage, and breaking barriers. At Holiday 360, we see travel as more than just visiting new places. It’s about discovering yourself, creating memories, and celebrating life. While everyone has a story to tell, solo travel as a woman comes with its own unique challenges. This Women’s Day, let’s honor the incredible women who inspire us, not with big speeches, but through their everyday journeys that speak volumes.
This Women’s Day, we celebrate fearless female travelers who have redefined what it means to explore the world. From solo journeys without a penny to riding across continents, from navigating the world on a wheelchair to balancing motherhood and adventure—these women are proving that passion knows no limits.
Let’s meet the unstoppable women of travel who continue to inspire thousands to pack their bags and chase their dreams.
Fearless Women Explorers: Celebrating Their Journeys This Women’s Day
Saraswati Iyer (@safeladki)
What if you were told you could explore an entire country without money? That’s exactly what Saraswati Iyer, aka @safeladki, did.
Armed with nothing but one tent, two sarees, and a power bank, she set out to travel across India without spending a rupee. She hitchhiked, stayed in dharamshalas, temple compounds, and gurudwaras, and relied on the generosity of strangers for food and shelter. More than just an adventure, her journey became a movement, proving that kindness, courage, and the will to explore can take you anywhere.

Nathalie Depierraz (@nataontheroad)
Long before social media made travel a trend, Nata left her home in Switzerland at just 18 to chase her dreams on two wheels.
She traveled across countries, deserts, and mountains with nothing but her backpack and a love for photography. Inspired by her father, she bought her first motorcycle and took mechanic classes to ensure she could fix it whenever it broke down. Living a true nomadic lifestyle, she immersed herself in cultures, learned new languages, and captured the world through her lens—all before Instagram even existed.

Anindita Chatterjee (@travel.chatter)
Most people slow down at 40. Anindita Chatterjee did the opposite—she packed her bags and set off on a 45-day trip across Latin America while seven months pregnant.
She floated in Colombian mud volcanoes, explored Mexican caves, and roamed the streets of Aruba and Curacao with a life growing inside her. And when her daughter was born? The adventures didn’t stop. By the age of two, her little one had already explored 10+ countries!
Anindita is proof that motherhood doesn’t mean the end of adventure—it’s the start of a new one.

At 23, Shivya Nath walked away from the corporate world, sold her belongings, and became a full-time traveler with just a backpack.
She isn’t just a traveler—she’s a storyteller, a bestselling author, and an advocate for sustainable tourism and veganism. Choosing slow and meaningful travel over luxury, Shivya immerses herself in local cultures, lives with families, and supports ethical tourism.
Her book, “The Shooting Star,” has inspired thousands to rethink the way they travel. If you’ve ever dreamed of quitting your job to explore the world, Shivya proves that it’s possible.
