I am Spanish, travelling through Asia this year. Would love to find other women to talk and exchange experiences, maybe do a little hiking/sport, or talk about business/startups/digital nomads

Ko phangan is amazing, honestly I didn't go to the full moon and half moon parties that the island is known for because it's not my style but there are also many attractions if that's what you're into, I went a lot to the beautiful beaches and lakes and the Saturday and Sunday food markets are to die for. The best way to move around in ko phangan is with a motorcycle that you can rent really cheap, there is no public transportation, there are open taxis but I think in the end it turns out much more expensive. I didn't have a motorcycle so I walked a lot, almost every day I took a taxi once, nice experience but wouldn't do again and my mom drove me if she could. I stayed at my mom's house, so I traveled alone most of my time but still had company. I felt very safe walking around the island alone, the locals are so nice and friendly, even though most don't know english and there are so many tourists. I personally loved it

I was volunteering in a hotel for 12 days. I didn’t really enjoy the working experience but I loved the island, there is so much to see! I also didn’t go to the parties as much as I wanted to because I travel as a backpacker and therefore I have a low budget.
