Who are our solo travellers?

There are many reasons that motivated women to travel solo. From releasing themselves from a routine that no longer suits them, to getting out of their comfort zone!
To seek this freedom won by men and refused to women for a long time. Solo travel is more than a touristic trip: it has helped women seek the freedom they have been refused.

Unexpected encounters

Indeed, it is an inner journey, the rediscovery of oneself!
Solo travel will help them connect with themselves and other people. Many have used our platform for their first trip, and pushed their boundaries within a safe and friendly environment.
A real women empowerment program!"

Why should you become a hostess?

Whether you live alone, with your partner or your family, you may not feel the need to travel solo. However, you understand that the other women who do travel, need safety and your support.
You will generously welcome them into your home, become their guide during their stay. Most importantly, you will create an authentic relation with your guest.
Everytime you host a solo female traveller, you also take an active part in women empowerment. And who knows? The desire of travelling on your own may come later!

What is NomadSister?

Founder of NomadSister

What is NomadSister?

NomadSister is an online platform launched in 2019 by Christina Boixière, a solo traveller from Taiwan who has been living in France for 5 years.
During her trips, Christina noticed the one thing that was stopping women from travelling solo: the lack of safety. This is why she left her position as a sales director and created NomadSister.
With her solo traveller husband and co-founder, Derek, by her side, they both feel committed in their mission: helping women push their boundaries through solo travelling.

Common questions

You can become a hostess at NomadSister if you are a woman and if you plan to host at least one female traveller each year. Usually, a female traveller's trip lasts several nights. However, it is totally up to you to accept or refuse a request if you are not available during her travel period. You can also offer to host for fewer nights as requested (or one night only), or on other dates which suit you better. As a hostess, you have the flexibility to decide when and who you want to welcome.

As a hostess at NomadSister, a trusted community that promotes authentic and cultural exchange values, your mission is to be welcoming and open-minded. Making your guest feel like home is totally rewarding as you make her travel experience an unforgettable one! The authenticity of your relationship is based on a free of charge hosting. You cannot ask for money in return.

The traveller is also your responsibility. If you promised to receive her, don't bail on her! Of course, some unexpected events can always come up. In this situation, contact your guest as soon as you can and if you are able to, offer her another solution (maybe one of your friend can host her if needed?).

First of all, because it’s fun! You will learn about another culture. Better yet, you will share your culture with your guest, so she will go back home to tell stories about what an amazing person you are! You will host a woman who can inspire you with her stories, she might be someone extraordinary, she might change the way you see the world, she might even become your friend for the rest of your life!

Second of all, because they need you! Concerns regarding security is the top reason that stops women from travelling alone. By offering her a safe place to stay, you help a woman accomplish her dream.

Finally, because you believe in gender equality! Why should women be stay at home moms? Why should women be seen as the weaker gender? By hosting a solo female traveller, you help supporting the idea that women are just as courageous and as adventurous, as men can be.

Of course you can! As long as you are present in the house to welcome her. You are responsible for her comfort at your place. The idea is that a solo female traveller feels reassured and at ease with the presence of a woman. If, under any unexpected circumstances, you cannot be present at her arrival, let her know in advance.

No you don't (unless you want to)! It is already very generous of you to host her! Your guest does not expect anything else but your warm welcome. That being said, if you want to cook her a nice local meal that you are proud of, or drive her around to show her your city/ town, I’m sure your guest will be more than grateful!

Yes, you can totally host! Based on the experience of many hosts and travellers, language barrier is NOT an issue. We have hundreds of testimonials of amazing meetings between people who didn’t speak the same language. You’ll see that sometimes, a look, a smile, paying kind attention says a lot more than any spoken words. When a woman decides to travel, she is prepared to be autonomous. Chances are that she may have picked up some useful phrases in your language upon her arrival! If not, she surely will find a way to communicate with you (by Google Translate, doodling, or simple body gestures)!

Absolutely not, as long as you are there to welcome her. She will be autonomous during her trip. The fact that she stays with a trusted local hostess like you reassures her, as you are her point of contact. It’s still recommended to inform your guest before her arrival that you won’t have a lot of time for her as you are very busy, but you will be very happy to help her out whenever she needs. Furthermore, when you sign up to become a hostess, you can already select the dates when you can host on the calendar to personalize your availability.

See previous question. You don’t need to be present all the time while hosting your guest! Your guest will be autonomous during her trip. The fact that she stays with a trusted local host like you reassures her, as you are her point of contact. If you need to leave, you simply need to let your guest know in advance and discuss about it with her.

We have implemented a flexible pricing model. However, it cannot be completely free. The platform incurs costs proportional to the number of users. By paying an annual membership fee, you enable NomadSister to exist and grow.
