No Stopping Her, a new venture dedicated to supporting women to travel solo with confidence and joy, has officially launched. Created by seasoned solo traveller Katrina Lowes and award-winning travel agent Gilly Bachelor, the company aims to educate, support, and inspire women to experience solo travel.
Katrina Lowes, Co-Founder of No Stopping Her, brings over three decades of solo travel expertise to the table. Her rich experiences in both professional and personal travels across the world have been instrumental in shaping the company’s mission.
Katrina said:
“Women are often the key decision-makers in travel planning, yet solo female travellers can find themselves overlooked. Our aim is to change that. In my years as a global marketing leader, I’ve supported many colleagues and friends as they take their first solo trips. Solo travel is transformative, and I want to support women in finding their own travel confidence”.
Co-Founder Gilly Bachelor, known for her innovative approach in the travel industry, echoes this sentiment:
“Many women I’ve encountered have postponed their travel dreams, waiting for companions whose schedules never align. I understand how daunting that first solo trip can be. Since hosting an event for solo travellers in 2019, I’ve seen the long journey some take to muster the courage to take their first solo trip. My mission is to support and inspire more women to take the leap”.
The partnership between Katrina and Gilly dates back over 25 years to their time at BT. Katrina was inspired by Gilly’s unique approach when she first established her travel business:
“Gilly encouraged me to consider solo travel options I hadn’t thought of, like cruises. She genuinely listened to my concerns and provided incredible support, ensuring I felt confident every step of the way. This inspired the idea for No Stopping Her”.
Gilly added:
“When Katrina approached me with her idea, I was excited. I had already noticed a gap in the support and inspiration available for solo female travellers. Together, we knew we could fill this space”.
No Stopping Her offers a range of services, including community engagement, events, and personalised one-to-one guidance. All travel arrangements are booked through Gilly Bachelor Travel Expert and are ABTA and/or ATOL protected.
