Gabi, founder (& queen of solo travel)

Hiya, welcome to the fam

Hiya, welcome to the fam

I’m Gabi, founder of females flying solo.

In 2021 I went through a heartbreak (classic, I know). That heartbreak changed the rest of my life. Without it I would never have taken my first solo trip, and none of us would be here.

I started this community because I wanted girlfriends to travel with. Three years later, 650+ women have flown solo with us.

I’m so happy you’re here.

the heartbreak

the heartbreak

At 23 I came out of a four year relationship.

I was burnt out, heartbroken, and living a life I’d fallen into by default. I’d never done a single thing on my own.

So I booked a one way flight to Thailand as I just wanted to escape.

THAILAND

my first solo trip

my first solo trip

my first solo trip

I travelled and lived in Thailand for almost a year, then Bali, then Vietnam.

I got braver and more independent. I realised I actually liked my own company. But I was lonely too.

One night, sick and alone in an apartment in Vietnam, I spontaneously started the very first females flying solo Facebook group. I just wanted people to talk to, and hopefully some girlfriends to travel with.

CROATIA

my first-ever group trip

my first-ever group trip

Then came my first group trip, to Croatia. Somewhere on that trip it clicked: this is what we need.

A group of girls to do these trips with, without anyone having to organise it all, so we can all just enjoy it and have fun.

I was so scared to launch our first trip. What if no one books? What if no one wants to travel with us? I did it anyway.

Our first destination was Costa Rica, because that’s what the girls in the Facebook group voted for. It sold out in under two weeks, from the Facebook group alone.

A few months later I launched Colombia. It sold out in 24 hours.

I’d sold out five trips before I’d been on a single one, all because I wanted girlfriends to travel with.

And on every one of those trips, women opened up to me and told me how much they loved being part of this community. That’s when I knew I couldn’t stop.

not just a feeling

what the FFS community actually is

what the FFS community actually is

Booking a trip gets you a seat. Joining FFS gets you your people.

Here’s exactly what you get, before, during and long after your trip.

The Facebook group

Where it all started. Ask the questions, find out who’s going where, and get honest answers from girls who’ve been.

Your trip group chat

You’re added 4 weeks before your trip starts. By the time you land, you’ve already connected with everyone.

The WhatsApp community

Once you’ve been on an FFS trip, you’re in. It’s where our girls chat every day: trip chat, life chat, all of it.

The friendships after

The trip ends. The group chat doesn’t.

Our girls are booking weekends away together, flying to each other’s cities, and planning their next FFS trip as a crew.

our vibe

what we stand for

what we stand for

adventure

The bucket-list stuff you’d never book alone. We’ll get you there.

girlhood

Arrive solo, leave with your people. No cliques, no one left out.

confidence

Every trip asks you to be a little braver than you were. You come home believing you can do things.

freedom

Your time off, your way. No more waiting for someone else to be free.

stepping outside your comfort zone

That’s where the good stuff is. And you won’t be doing it alone.

A wonderful Bali trip for solo female travellers

Putri was wonderful. She was so friendly and knowledgable. She was always so attentive and you could go to her for anything. The trip itself was fantastic with a wide variety of excursions. The purification ceremony was definitely my favourite. It was wonderful learning kore about and participating in Balinese culture.

This experience was absolutely amazing

This experience was absolutely amazing. Each one of the girls I met during this trip were truly special. I also think it was well organized, and I think our team leader Marek did a phenomenal job. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and will definitely travel with females flying solo again.

A truly amazing Sri Lanka experience

A truly amazing experience. Sam our guide, worked tirelessly through the night to work through an itinerary that worked with the cyclone that hit Sri Lanka. Despite this we did pretty much the whole itinerary and more! Absolutely beautiful country and a very well planned out trip, seeing all different aspects of Sri Lanka

It was a great trip to South Korea

It was a great trip to South Korea, we got to see so many different areas that I wouldn’t have thought of booking if I was travelling by myself. There was a good variety of modern and traditional South Korea activities. It’s also a great way to make friends from all over the world

An amazing experience in Japan

My first time in Japan and I made the best memories! The itinerary fits so much in and we learnt so much. My favourite activities were the sushi class (the staff there were so so welcoming and made the experience perfect) and also the kimono renting🩷
