Hi, I'm Carolyn, the CEO/Editor-in-Chief of JourneyWoman, a women's solo travel publication. Every year we publish a feature for International Women's Day celebrating women and this year we are looking tor photographs and stories of women who make travel possible, past and present.

More information is on our site including a form to upload your photos and stories. We'll be publishing finalists on March 8, International Women's Day. Thank you!
