The La Voyageuse platform offers solitary globetrotters the opportunity to find accommodation and food while spending almost nothing. A new way to travel, more economical but also more secure because it can be dangerous to travel alone when you are a woman. And it is not Christina Boixiere who will say the opposite:this French travel enthusiast is at the origin of this project which she had the idea after having traveled the world alone for 17 years. The principle of La Voyageuse :being able to be hosted by another woman, anywhere in the world. This system is inspired by the trend of couchsurfing , especially popular in the United States. It connects travelers and locals to facilitate the accommodation of globetrotters at a lower cost, all in a friendly atmosphere. The Traveler is part of this line with the difference that it is a 100% female application, designed by a woman, for women!
To find accommodation, even on the other side of the world, all you have to do is connect to the platform accessible from a computer and create an account. Once this step has been completed, we will need to provide our identity card and a profile photo before having access to all the services offered by La Voyageuse . You can choose to be a host or a traveler. If we opt for the first option, we will be asked to provide photos and information about our accommodation, then we will receive a call from the platform which will begin the process of validating our profile by checking it (it's serious!) . Be careful, however, not to confuse The traveler with Airbnb :we will not earn money with this platform since it is based on a principle of free. The real wealth of travel is the exchange and it is also the motto of the application which values encounters and benevolence. As a traveler, we will have to pay the sum of 119 € in order to obtain an annual subscription to the platform. A rather advantageous rate since it allows you to make an unlimited number of trips at no additional cost! The amount is then used by the application to finance the maintenance and improvement of its platform, as well as its security team which ensures its reliability. Once our next destination has been established, we take care of our profile to inform the hostesses to whom we are presenting ourselves. After having established a first contact, you can plan a stay by selecting the option “Announce your meeting”. At the end of our stay, we do not forget to leave a comment on the profile of our host to reassure future travelers who would like to stay with her. So girls, when do we try?
