1. Emily Across South America

A 28 Year-old British lass, Emily traveled solo to the most adventurous continent on earth, South America. She carried nothing but a rucksack full of essentials. The journey through this beautiful continent began in Colombia, where the towns and city names would have been the initial test in alien languages. Passing through, she met with local communities, learned Spanish, and realized the richness of culture in this particular continent. Her journey was not exactly smooth; she had to surmount trying situations that tested her resolve, among them falling suddenly ill and being robbed. Yet each hurdle added to her capacity for resilience and problem-solving. She came back with a new sense of self-assurance, enhanced worldview, and what seemed like lifelong friendships.

4. Lina's Cultural Exploration in the Middle East:

Lina, an artist from Lebanon who was 30 years old, decided to solo travel in the Middle East: from Jordan to Egypt and then enter Lebanon. As she moved from one place to the other, Lina wandered, having made her itinerary by herself: different cultural landscapes, local art scenes, and historic places. Apprehensive of both the physical and cultural safety that she might find out there, Lina came back with stories of positive interactions and personal enrichment. She bridled down stereotypes with an exchange of culture on the move. She proved that a different culture does not make people enemies but they are to be understood and respected.
