I have always had a passion for traveling. Thanks to my 100% remote job, I had the opportunity to leave the room in my house and get a change of scenery.

I discovered Puerto Escondido, a place where hundreds of digital nomads gather. My experience with Greether and my Greeter left me 100% satisfied, I loved that even though I had to work, I was able to connect with someone who adapted to my times and not have to be the one who adapted to the times of a common tourist tour.

The truth is that big dreams don’t become a reality overnight and it has actually been more than a year since this company was born, but it takes a lot of pieces to fall in place for anything in life to see any sort of shape. For us, it took a pandemic, canceled flights, and a very ambitious female traveler (our founder Vanessa Karel) to realize that there was a huge need for a service that helped women navigate the world safer, because girls and every womxn deserve to be safe while they navigate the world.

It’s holiday season and we took on the task of finding the best gifts and deals for any woman who likes to travel! Greether’s mission is to help all the women travel the world safely, authentically and confidently! We know that every one of our travelers is unique so we gathered something perfect for each one of them.

You’ve spent time thinking it over. Your friends have told you that they wouldn’t have the guts to do it. Your family has asked you to reconsider it. Your mind is set: you want to travel to a new destination and live abroad. On top of that, you want to do it alone.

“Is it really a good idea to move to a country where I don’t know anybody? Will I regret traveling alone? What if this is all a mistake?”

The better news: Here are some ways you can help;

1. By signing up to be a local greeter for female travelers visiting your area.
