5W Offers Rewarding Experiences

Our members explain what 5W means to them –

“If you are interested in solo travelling, this is the organisation for you.  It can be lonely travelling on your own, especially if you see something fantastic and want to turn around and say “hey, look at that” but there is no one there.  Well, if you join 5W, those days are over”  – Read more …

“Before I set off on my New Zealand trip, a friend gave me the tip to check out this network. It is aimed primarily at women traveling alone, but you are also welcome with children and partners.
The idea is that you always learn from each other, whether you are traveling yourself or meeting women from other countries in your own country.
For what I consider to be a very manageable annual fee, I entered the directory and was able to get in touch with all the other women in the network.
Before I left I had already contacted a woman in Singapore. That was a very warm welcome. She and another woman showed me their city and also asked me about my own wishes, so that I could get a different insight than as a pure tourist.
For my trip through New Zealand I had planned to spontaneously look for new accommodations again and again. As soon as I knew approximately when I would be where, I contacted women from the directory. I met some of them for coffee, others invited me to stay with them.
A woman had offered, in addition to several overnight stays, that she would show me a few worthwhile destinations nearby. That day she was driving, my rental car was on break.
I had already heard about the hotel where the picture was taken. On the way south, the detour was too far for me. I didn’t know what she wanted to show me and was delighted when we saw this hotel – it’s in the middle of the countryside – from afar. I was happy to invite her to a high noon tea , which you can see in the photo.  For me, that is active networking.” 5W member from Germany
