Ítem Solo female travellers' emotions: an analysis of specialist bloggers’ narratives(Taylor and Francis, 2024) Abad Galzacorta, Marina; Cendoya Garmendia, M.Travelling alone is an essential part of empowering women and enhancing personal development. Although women have been travelling independently for centuries, solo female tourism is currently a booming trend around the world. They tend to experience feelings of freedom, spontaneity, and empowerment but also experience feelings of anger and fear when confronted with perceived barriers. In this context, women’s blogs have proliferated over the last few decades, shifting from classic destination-based travel blogs to others that focus on the emotional and safety aspects of female solo travel experiences. The chapter tackles the profiles, emotions, and motivations of solo female travellers from a theoretical point of view and it analyses the discourses of real women’s experiences in over 30 specialised Spanish-language travel blogs. The results confirm that women’s travel narratives have changed, and that the expression of emotions is one of the dominant themes in the weblogs of women who travel alone.
