It's really taken us a long time to decide who to choose because all the ladies who applied to become Sole Sisters are exceptional in their own way. They all have amazing stories to share. Most of them have blogs that attract hundreds of readers. They have accomplished so much in life even while traveling and living in many different countries.
This is definitely one of the most difficult decisions I've ever had to make.
Before we announce whom we have selected to be part of the sisterhood, let me tell you more about the selection process. On May 21st, we launched the Search for the New Sole Sisters and announced that we were looking for other women travelers who are crazy about travel and documenting their adventures through a blog. The search went on for 2 short weeks and we received about 50 applications from all over the world. I asked the help of the other Sole Sisters and shortlisted it to 10 amazing, inspiring women based on their blogs as well as their answers to our questionnaire. From that list, we picked the bloggers who had the most unique, engaging content. And I interviewed 7 of them via skype. It was amazing to talk to all these women from different walks of life and cultural backgrounds who share the same love for travel.
I took a few days to really think about who I was most excited to work with. And it was not easy at all. In the end, there were 2 things that mattered:
1 Unique Personality
Who stood out the most? I really want to work with women who know what they're good at and how they can contribute to this community. I also wanted to work with those who are extremely happy, positive and confident.
2 Hunger
Who really really wanted it badly? Who are the ones who really wanted to make a career out of this, and not just as a plan B?
And to answer those questions, here are the women travelers that we welcome into the Sole Sisterhood:
