According to recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.condorferries.co.uk\/solo-travel-statistics\">research carried out by Condor Ferries<\/a>, approximately 84% of all solo travellers are female and 55% of &#8216;Solo travel&#8217; Google searches were made by millennial women.<\/p>\n<p>But travelling solo as a woman does not come without its challenges.
