Excursions
Hi, I’m Sheetal, CEO and founder of Ponytail Excursions!
If you are asking about my two favorite topics?
“Woman Empowerment” and “Travelling.”
I traveled to 17 countries solo. When I was 20 years old, I took a train from Delhi to Goa, India which took me over 36 hours with two changes of Trains, as no one wanted my crazy journey at that time!
“As a woman, Isn’t it dangerous and difficult? to travel solo?”
It is true. There are moments when I did not feel comfortable: Being followed by a drunk guy at 3 am in the train station when there is no one, or going through terrible moments by a male couch-surfing host even though he had over 20 comments from previous guests. However, the reason I continued solo traveling is that it allowed me to be who I am. Solo traveling allowed me to know “What I can” and “What I cannot.” It allowed me to realize that I am actually pretty good at dealing from A to Z by myself.
Because I traveled alone, local people could easily talk to me and I could easily make new friends who brought me endless inspiration. Because I traveled alone, I could really have time to think about who I am. Whenever I go on a new solo journey, I feel confident and brave.
The magical power of
solo traveling!
This is why I started Ponytail Excursions. The very essence of Ponytail is to bring out that Nomad who is lost somewhere and is scared to take that journey by herself.
It can be the story of Aysha, Sonam, Helene, or Kiah, whoever you are from which parts of India, PonyTail is for you to make sure that there are many women in the world who are traveling and discovering the world.
