Jennifer Ann Porter

Hi, I’m Jenny — a solo travel writer based in the UK with nearly a decade of independent travel under my belt. I took my first solo trip at 24, a slightly terrifying two weeks in Vietnam, and I’ve been hooked ever since.

Over the past 9 years I’ve completed 60+ solo trips across Europe, Southeast Asia, Central America and Japan — from weekend city breaks in Prague to three-week overland journeys through the Balkans. I speak conversational French and basic Spanish, which has opened more doors (and more dinner tables) than any guidebook ever could.

My writing focuses on the practical stuff solo female travellers actually need: safety, navigation, budget-stretching, and finding genuine connection on the road. I don’t do fluff. If I haven’t personally figured out whether a city is safe to walk home alone at midnight, I won’t pretend I have.

When I’m not writing I’m usually planning the next one — or eating something I can’t pronounce.
