She’s aiming to reshape how ladies discover the world by constructing a world neighborhood: sharing journey ideas, prioritizing security, and connecting with each other to discover new locations.
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 nations alone, and whereas it was an extremely empowering and enriching journey, it wasn’t at all times straightforward—particularly as a girl. There was this one second once I was touring in Italy that actually shook me. I noticed simply how essential it was to have a help system, not simply buddies or household, however different ladies who perceive what it is wish to be on the market by yourself. That’s when the thought hit me— I wished to create an area the place ladies may really feel secure and assured whereas seeing the world.
The deal with connecting ladies who share comparable journey plans is a robust device. Are you able to share suggestions from somebody who has discovered journey buddies by means of NomadHer?
Completely! One among my favourite tales comes from a girl who was planning a solo journey to Bali. She related with one other ‘NomadHer’ by means of 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 ceaselessly. 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 that they had one another. It’s tales like these that remind me why I began NomadHer within the first place.
How did Google Play make it easier to develop NomadHer?
We couldn’t join with the 90,000+ ladies worldwide with out Google Play. We’ve been capable of attain individuals from Latin America, Africa, Asia, and past. It’s unbelievable seeing ladies join, share ideas, and help one another, irrespective of the place they’re. With instruments like Firebase, we will monitor and enhance the app expertise, ensuring all the things runs easily. Plus, Google Play’s startup packages gave us mentorship and visibility, which actually helped us develop and broaden our attain sooner. 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 turn out to be the go-to platform for girls vacationers in all places. I need to see extra partnerships with native ladies entrepreneurs, just like the surf store proprietor we work with in Busan. We host offline occasions just like the She Can Journey Pageant in Busan and I’m excited to host comparable occasions in different nations like Paris, Tokyo, and Delhi. The objective is to proceed creating these offline connections to construct a neighborhood that empowers ladies, each socially and economically, by means of partnerships with native feminine companies.
