SoFe Travel Staff
Amanda Black
Founder & Bosslady
Amanda left for a four month trip to the Middle East and seven years later, she is still on the road. Humbled by her travels and inspired by the women she meets along the way, she became passionate about creating a community for like-minded travelers. The Solo Female Traveler Network grew from a small Facebook group of just Amanda’s friends to a community of over 500k women and inspiring traveler.
“I spend most of my days thinking about solo female travelers – how to empower them, offer support, and inspire. During my years as a traveling nomad, I realized that even though I prefer to travel alone, sometimes I needed a support system and I always love sharing travel advice and stories with people who get it. I am always open to new connections!”
Victoria Irvine
Social Media Extraordinaire
Impromptu dance party? Extra pita full of falafel? Victoria is our girl for lots of laughs, and she comes with a heart of gold. Having grown up in a family of serious travelers, she’s ticked off loads of bucket list countries, which has made her the soulful, kind, thoughtful kind of traveler we love.
“Working with SoFe was a dream come true. After decades of solo backpacking, being able to meet and travel with lots of like-minded women felt like coming home. SoFe embodies many of the values I hold close: adventure, connection, openness and encouragement. It is through these values that it helps women become the independent travelers they want to be. What more could a girl ask for?”

“When you love empowering women to travel and experience amazing places first hand, then working with SoFe travel is a no brainer. Watching women from all over the world start the tour as a group of strangers and leave with such a special bond is one of the best things about being an ambassador for SoFe. That and the fact that you are traveling around a country where everyday is full of activities, interactions with local women, fun and laughter! Everyday on tour is different but that’s the best part! You need to be flexible, think on your feet and more importantly join in on all the fun!”

“For me, solo travel has shown me how strong and capable I am. My favorite place I’ve traveled so far is Iceland. SoFe Travel inspires me, motivates me, and I adore helping to run this group and our Instagram.”
