What impressed you to create NomadHer?

Truthfully, NomadHer was born out of a private want. I began touring solo once I was 19 and have visited over 60 international locations alone, and whereas it was an extremely empowering and enriching journey, it wasn’t all the time straightforward—particularly as a lady. There was this one second once I was touring in Italy that actually shook me. I noticed simply how necessary it was to have a help system, not simply mates or household, however different girls who perceive what it is prefer to be on the market by yourself. That’s when the concept hit me— I wished to create an area the place girls may really feel secure and assured whereas seeing the world.

The concentrate on connecting girls who share comparable journey plans is a strong device. Are you able to share suggestions from somebody who has discovered journey buddies via NomadHer?

Completely! Considered one of my favourite tales comes from a lady who was planning a solo journey to Bali. She linked with one other ‘NomadHer’ via the app who had the very same journey dates and itinerary. They began chatting, and by the point they met up in Bali, it was like they’d recognized one another endlessly. They ended up touring collectively, attempting out new eating places, exploring hidden seashores, and even taking a browsing class! After the journey, they each messaged us saying how the expertise felt safer and extra enjoyable as a result of they’d one another. It’s tales like these that remind me why I began NomadHer within the first place.

How did Google Play aid you develop NomadHer?

We couldn’t join with the 90,000+ girls worldwide with out Google Play. We’ve been in a position to attain folks from Latin America, Africa, Asia, and past. It’s unimaginable seeing girls join, share ideas, and help one another, regardless of the place they’re. With instruments like Firebase, we are able to monitor and enhance the app expertise, ensuring every thing runs easily. Plus, Google Play’s startup packages gave us mentorship and visibility, which actually helped us develop and develop our attain quicker. It’s been a game-changer.

What are your hopes for NomadHer sooner or later?

I would like NomadHer to be extra than simply an app—it’s a motion. My dream is for it to change into the go-to platform for girls vacationers all over the place. I wish to see extra partnerships with native girls entrepreneurs, just like the surf store proprietor we work with in Busan.

The purpose is to proceed creating these offline connections to construct a neighborhood that empowers girls, each socially and economically, via partnerships with native feminine companies.
