Pink Pangea is a new site for women who want to travel the world and seek authentic advice from other women travelers.
If you are a woman itching to travel, the world shouldn’t get in your way.
On Pink Pangea, women can share travel concerns, advice, anecdotes and photos, showing that with savvy and spunk, others can see the world too. Covering travels from the Middle East to South America to Southeast Asia to Europe, and more, women give tips and advice for secure and fulfilling adventures throughout the world. Popular topics include foreign men, nightlife, dress, and safety with featured posts covering everything from escaping catcalls in Italy to making it up the Himalayas.
Pink Pangea shows that the real experts are the travelers themselves. Women are encouraged to tell others what they wish they had known before they went and what sites and experiences other women shouldn’t miss. Named for the supercontinent that existed 250 million years ago, Pink Pangea aims to make every continent accessible to all women.
Two New York City-based international travelers, Jaclyn Mishal and Rachel Trager, were frustrated by the lack of credible, serious information for women travelers; reminders to bring tampons and watch out for pickpockets were not enough.
“While in Belarus, I stayed in the capital city because I didn’t know whether it was safe to take trains alone,” says Trager. “And in Morocco, I didn’t realize that covering my hair would keep me from standing out as a tourist. A community of women travelers that I could turn to for advice would have eased my travels.”
With several years of experience working in an international organization that places young adults in internships abroad, Ms. Mishal and Ms. Trager have interacted with thousands of travelers who have faced similar challenges.
To provide a platform for students on study abroad programs, Pink Pangea is offering a travel writing internship for women to document their experiences and receive editorial feedback on their writing.
For more information, contact Rachel Trager at (917) 371-5569 or Rachel@pinkpangea.com.
