181. Traveling Solo as a Woman? Greether Can Help with Vanessa Karel

Kym Tolson Episode 181

Traveling solo as a woman can be both exciting and intimidating. In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I chat with Vanessa Karel, founder of Greether, a travel tech company that connects solo female travelers with trusted local women around the world. Vanessa shares how a personal experience in Morocco led her to create a platform that now serves women in over 1,000 cities across 100+ countries. If you’ve ever wanted to explore on your own but felt unsure about your safety, this episode is for you.

In This Episode, We Explore…

  • The Morocco travel scare that sparked the idea for Greether.
  • How Greether works and what travelers can expect.
  • The onboarding and safety process for both travelers and greeters.
  • Why therapists might love becoming greeters in their own cities.
  • The rising trend of slow travel and connecting deeply with local culture.
