I started traveling solo when I was 19 and have visited over 60 countries alone, and while it was an incredibly empowering and enriching journey, it wasn\u2019t always easy\u2014especially as a woman. There was this one moment when I was traveling in Italy that really shook me. I realized just how important it was to have a support system, not just friends or family, but other women who understand what it&#8217;s like to be out there on your own. That\u2019s when the idea hit me\u2014 I wanted to create a space where women could feel safe and confident while seeing the world.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><image><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"NomadHer Founder - Hyojeong Kim from South Korean smiling, wearing a white tshirt with green text that reads 'she can travel anywhere'\" border=\"0\" id=\"imgCaption\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgfC9nS725zHbqR7n0TEQa6-ERuW7lNHnHwePB8_6YNdZwkpC_lSi-C1ugxQ19J9SoQcZAR30Lsx256-jStg69ryYeY-XonYz4DyunZ3QF-UJmQrUtoBz77FtP8PM6yV2CgL2UZUjIfeMmOe0j7Lod8WwRXarkgkJGAFvTU7RSSkkkS7VAqZ94I9kvFPv4\/s1600\/04_SOUTH%20KOREA_NOMADHER_FOUNDER_Hyojeong%20Kim.jpg\" width=\"100%\"\/><\/div>\n<p><\/image><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size:large;\">The focus on connecting women who share similar travel plans is a powerful tool. Can you share feedback from someone who has found travel buddies through NomadHer?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Absolutely! One of my favorite stories comes from a woman who was planning a solo trip to Bali. She connected with another \u2018NomadHer\u2019 through the app who had the exact same travel dates and itinerary. They started chatting, and by the time they met up in Bali, it was like they\u2019d known each other forever. They ended up traveling together, trying out new restaurants, exploring hidden beaches, and even taking a surfing class! After the trip, they both messaged us saying how the experience felt safer and more fun because they had each other. It\u2019s stories like these that remind me why I started NomadHer in the first place.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size:large;\">How did Google Play help you grow NomadHer?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>We couldn\u2019t connect with the 90,000+ women worldwide without Google Play. We\u2019ve been able to reach people from Latin America, Africa, Asia, and beyond. It\u2019s incredible seeing women connect, share tips, and support each other, no matter where they are. With tools like Firebase, we can track and improve the app experience, making sure everything runs smoothly. Plus, Google Play&#8217;s startup programs gave us mentorship and visibility, which really helped us grow and expand our reach faster. It\u2019s been a game-changer.<\/p>\n<p><image><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"NomadHer on Google Play on a device\" border=\"0\" id=\"imgCaption\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEi2avPgkNZ_v16koLMAH4TbTxo9oOaDG63zA7q1J0Tw5iSynYNc6CmWUAqaE14exIq2aOS9Oe4RqRdu3vyj3bZS9ScUccU2h4VmrnXVL9cnb0agDv0ZzjapiFc04y81OQRzp-e-72Vy4aw3SGV1_thjsFVSlI_rPEXKltZ17OkxjOMgDh6dg3BbNHxU52w\/s1600\/11_SOUTH%20KOREA_NOMADHER_FOUNDER_Hyojeong%20Kim.png\" width=\"100%\"\/><\/div>\n<p><\/image><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size:large;\">What are your hopes for NomadHer in the future?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>I want NomadHer to be more than just an app\u2014it\u2019s a movement. My dream is for it to become the go-to platform for women travelers everywhere. I want to see more partnerships with local women entrepreneurs, like the surf shop owner we work with in Busan. We host offline events like the She Can Travel Festival in Busan and I\u2019m excited to host similar events in other countries like Paris, Tokyo, and Delhi. The goal is to continue creating these offline connections to build a community that empowers women, both socially and economically, through partnerships with local female businesses.<\/p>\n<p>Discover more <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/console\/about\/weareplay\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">global #WeArePlay stories<\/a> and share your favorites.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n How useful did you find this blog post?<br \/>\n  <\/center><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLScLTlzFd_aV-3rAdBqO1QxwCsuAcDCIM6fJFXyNcyf7zElVXg\/viewform?usp=pp_url&amp;entry.753333049=1%E2%98%85+%E2%80%93+Not+at+all&amp;entry.2056663615&amp;entry.646747778=changeme-mm\/yy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u2605<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLScLTlzFd_aV-3rAdBqO1QxwCsuAcDCIM6fJFXyNcyf7zElVXg\/viewform?usp=pp_url&amp;entry.753333049=2%E2%98%85+%E2%80%93+Not+very&amp;entry.2056663615&amp;entry.646747778=changeme-mm\/yy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u2605<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLScLTlzFd_aV-3rAdBqO1QxwCsuAcDCIM6fJFXyNcyf7zElVXg\/viewform?usp=pp_url&amp;entry.753333049=3%E2%98%85+%E2%80%93+Somewhat&amp;entry.2056663615&amp;entry.646747778=changeme-mm\/yy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u2605<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLScLTlzFd_aV-3rAdBqO1QxwCsuAcDCIM6fJFXyNcyf7zElVXg\/viewform?usp=pp_url&amp;entry.753333049=4%E2%98%85+%E2%80%93+Very&amp;entry.2056663615&amp;entry.646747778=changeme-mm\/yy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u2605<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLScLTlzFd_aV-3rAdBqO1QxwCsuAcDCIM6fJFXyNcyf7zElVXg\/viewform?usp=pp_url&amp;entry.753333049=5%E2%98%85+%E2%80%93+Extremely&amp;entry.2056663615&amp;entry.646747778=changeme-mm\/yy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u2605<\/a><br \/>\n  <\/center><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjxnvf5XzyebGljqgi8J7by9XsvaL5WWLNamSyTg4w_c0kPHjY1B1no1FQsdSfUHUwNw0UuYfXuo6i7K6VpdyV2-K8ms4VFmZA438ujm6qwtZMt5rJfMGymhQ_iCX2Z8h0MuJo7gXUQ4Hb-hjKYK1isibMZZxCyX_vo3kGoP5tieK2PI2ZhYdGh4gsqhwA\/s260\/lockup_ic_Google_Play_H_260x53px_clr.png\" style=\"display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"53\" data-original-width=\"260\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjxnvf5XzyebGljqgi8J7by9XsvaL5WWLNamSyTg4w_c0kPHjY1B1no1FQsdSfUHUwNw0UuYfXuo6i7K6VpdyV2-K8ms4VFmZA438ujm6qwtZMt5rJfMGymhQ_iCX2Z8h0MuJo7gXUQ4Hb-hjKYK1isibMZZxCyX_vo3kGoP5tieK2PI2ZhYdGh4gsqhwA\/s200\/lockup_ic_Google_Play_H_260x53px_clr.png\" width=\"200\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/android-developers.googleblog.com\/2024\/10\/weareplay-nomadher-helps-women-travel-the-world.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Posted by Robbie McLachlan, Developer Marketing In our latest film for #WeArePlay, which celebrates the people behind apps and games, we meet Hyojeong &#8211;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":262408,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[146],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262407"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=262407"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262407\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/262408"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=262407"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=262407"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=262407"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
