Dame Traveller by Nastasia Yakoub

Dame Traveller by Nastasia Yakoub

A breathtaking celebration of Instagram's premier solo female travel community, featuring 200 striking photographs--most of them all-new--plus empowering messages and practical tips for solo travelers.

"For those with passports full of stories, this book carries you away to every dreamy corner of the earth. I can't stop flipping through these visually incandescent pages to see where I'm capable of traveling to next!"--Caila Quinn, The Bachelor contestant and lifestyle and travel influencer

From backpackers in Peru to artists in Berlin to storytellers in Morocco, Dame Traveler celebrates the diversity and bravery of women from around the world who are not afraid to think (and live) outside the box.

The revolutionary Dame Traveler Instagram account was founded by Nastasia Yakoub, who was born into a strict Chaldean-Middle Eastern community where women are expected to marry young and put aside other personal ambitions. But at the age of twenty, Nastasia embarked on a solo trip to South Africa to volunteer at an orphanage in Cape Town, which sparked a love of world travel. Recognizing a void in the travel industry, she founded Dame Traveler, the first female travel community on Instagram, now more than half a million strong. Nastasia herself has traveled to sixty-three countries on solo adventures, sharing colorful photos of her tantalizing travels along the way.

Dame Traveler celebrates these women with a photographic collection of 200 stunning images paired with inspiring captions, 80% of which have never been seen on the Instagram account. Organized into sections on architecture, culture, nature, and water, each entry features travel information, plus tips, advice, unique solo-travel experiences, and wisdom from contributing globe-trotters to embolden the next generation of Dame Travelers.

Nastasia Yakoub is a former registered nurse turned full-time traveler, entrepreneur, and photographer. She is the founder of Dame Traveler, Instagram's best-known independent female travel community. Defying her cultural norms, she went from a totally sheltered upbringing to traveling to sixty-three countries on solo adventures.
