From backpackers in Peru and artists in Berlin to storytellers in Morocco, Dame Traveler celebrates the diversity and bravery of women from around the world who are not afraid to think (and live) outside the box.

Recognizing a void in the travel industry, Nastasia Yakoub founded the revolutionary Dame Traveler Instagram account, the first female travel community on Instagram, now more than half a million strong. Nastasia has traveled to 63 countries on solo adventures, sharing colorful photos of her tantalizing travels along the way.

Yakoub’s recent book Dame Traveler celebrates these women with a photographic collection of 200 stunning images paired with inspiring captions, 80 percent of which have never been seen on the Instagram account. Organized into sections on architecture, culture, nature, and water, each entry features travel information, advice, unique solo-travel experiences, and wisdom from contributing globe-trotters to embolden the next generation of Dame Travelers.
