OUR
STORY
WE INSPIRE SISTERS
by creating a positive space on Facebook for like-minded Sisters to connect
From seeing photos of Sisters doing the things you have always wanted to do, to reading a post about someone who once was afraid to travel solo overcoming their fear while in Rome, to just getting words of encouragement from Sisters you have never met.
WE CONNECT SISTERS
through our group trips around the World and our meetups throughout the USA
We create opportunities for Sisters whom once were strangers to become inseparable travel buddies and life long friends.
Sisters Traveling Solo™ was created to empower Sisters to travel solo; to travel in general. Our mission is to connect, empower, inspire, and support Sisters.
WE EMPOWER SISTERS
by giving them the tools need to travel the World
Any member who is eligible to obtain a U.S. passport but are unable to obtain one due to financial hardship can sign up for our passport giveaway. Having an opportunity to get one for free, 100% funded by Sisters Traveling Solo.
WE SUPPORT SISTERS
by traveling responsibly
In 2017 we introduced our Cultural Experiences where we work with and give our dollars to local women. And in 2018 we introduced our Sisters Travel Magazine a platform that will allow our Sisters who blog access to a greater audience.

MEET FOUNDER COLE BANKS
Welcome to Sisters Traveling Solo, a travel company dedicated to empowering women to explore the world with confidence. Our expertly crafted trips offer a unique opportunity for women to step outside of their comfort zone and create unforgettable memories. Join us on a journey of self-discovery and adventure while building connections with like-minded women from around the globe.
Our journey began in response to a narrative that underrepresented us as solo travelers—a narrative I knew firsthand wasn't true. As someone who's found freedom and wonder in solo travel, I wanted to share this possibility with others. This passion for exploration and the desire to uplift our sisters is what sparked the creation of our community.
Leaving my corporate job in 2018 at The Coca-Cola Company to venture into the full-time realm of travel was a leap of faith—driven by the increasing number of trips we began booking and the overwhelming support from this community. Now, my twins see their mom embracing the world as her office, building connections, and crafting experiences that resonate with so many.
