How Vew works

1. Join Vew

Vew is designed specifically for solo women travelers who want to explore the world with more confidence and better information.

When you sign up, you also have the option to verify your account. Verification is optional, but it helps build trust between travelers and creates a more transparent environment for women using the platform.

2. Discover Destinations

Explore destinations through the perspective of solo women travelers.

Vew helps you discover places that are exciting, beautiful, and worth traveling for — from iconic cities and cultural hubs to relaxing islands and hidden gems.

Within each destination you can find:

• Must-visit attractions
• Local food spots and experiences
• Beautiful locations worth exploring
• Highlights that are especially popular with women traveling solo

This helps you quickly understand where to go and what to prioritize when planning your trip.

3. Plan with Safety Insights

Safety is one of the most important considerations for solo travel. Vew integrates safety intelligence powered by GeoSure, the global standard in localized safety data covering 71 million+ locations worldwide.

Vew provides location-based safety insights for cities and accommodations around the world. These insights are displayed on a scale of 1 to 10 where a higher number means safer. Scores are globally calibrated, meaning a 5 in Tokyo means the same as a 5 in Rio de Janeiro.

Localized Data: Unlike broad country-level warnings, these scores are hyper-local, powered by H3 hexagonal grid data that provides safety information down to approximately 0.74 km² per cell.

City Safety Summary: When you view a trip, you’ll see a safety summary for each city that includes the overall risk assessment, main risks to watch for, and recommendations. Hover over any score category to see city-specific details explaining why that score is what it is.

Women’s Safety First: Your primary safety score is Women’s Safety, specifically chosen because Vew is built for women travelers. This is the number you see on the city badge.

Score Categories (1-10, higher is safer):

• Women’s Safety: Evaluates freedom from discrimination, mistreatment, and violence affecting women. Considers reproductive rights, workplace protections, healthcare access, and freedom of movement.
• Physical Safety: Assesses protection from physical harm, injury, or violence. Evaluates infrastructure quality, emergency response readiness, and access to basic needs.
• Theft: Measures security from property loss through both violent and non-forceful means. Examines environmental design factors like lighting and walkability alongside crime statistics.
• LGBTQ+ Safety: Assesses protection from discrimination and violence targeting sexual orientation or gender identity. Includes anti-discrimination legislation, access to gender-affirming care, and hate crime rates.
• Health & Medical: Evaluates access to healthcare, disease risk, climate conditions, and medical safety infrastructure at the destination.
• Political Freedom: Measures access to fundamental rights including freedom of expression, political participation, due process, and protection from state violence.

How to read the scores: A score of 7 or above (green) indicates high safety. A score of 4 to 6 (yellow) indicates moderate safety. A score below 4 (red) indicates elevated risk.

Beyond scores, city safety reports cover additional dimensions including crime patterns, terrorism risk, traffic safety, cultural considerations, and health advisories. This information is sourced from GeoSure’s safety intelligence which aggregates crime statistics, historical incident data, socioeconomic indicators, and near-real-time news coverage updated hourly.

With these safety insights built directly into your trip planning, you can make informed decisions about where to stay, what to watch for, and how to travel with greater confidence.

4. Discover Featured Events

Sometimes the best trips happen around unforgettable global events.

Vew highlights major festivals, cultural moments, and world events so travelers can plan trips around experiences that make a destination truly special.

For example, you might plan a trip around:

• Cherry Blossom Festival
• Cannes Film Festival

Instead of just choosing a destination, you can travel for the moment that defines it.

5. Organize Your Trip

Vew helps you turn inspiration into an organized travel plan.

You can:

• Save destinations you want to visit
• Build lists of places to explore
• Organize experiences and ideas for your trip
• Keep your travel inspiration in one place

This makes planning simpler and keeps everything related to your trip easy to access.

6. Build a Flexible Itinerary

Travel plans change — and Vew is built to adapt.

With Swap Activities, you can easily change plans anytime during your trip. If something better comes up or your schedule shifts, simply swap activities without having to rebuild your itinerary.

This keeps your trip flexible while still giving you a structure.

7. Plan with the Vew Calendar

Use the Vew Calendar to organize your trip around your real schedule.

You can:

• Add custom activities or personal plans
• Schedule experiences during your trip
• Plan travel around an existing schedule, such as a business trip
• Keep everything organized in one place

This allows you to seamlessly combine work, travel, and experiences.

8. Book Local Guides & Experiences

When you're ready to bring your trip to life, Vew makes it easy to add trusted experiences.

Through integration with GetYourGuide, you can discover and book local guides, tours, and activities. This is especially helpful for solo travelers who want structured experiences or local expertise while exploring a new destination.

9. Share Your Trip

Vew also allows you to share your trip with other women.

By sharing your itinerary, discoveries, and favorite spots, you can help other solo travelers see what a destination is really like and make better travel decisions for their own trips.

10. Maintain Privacy Control

We believe safety extends to your digital footprint. If you share a trip link and later decide to restrict access, you can revoke a shared trip at any time. By simply deleting the access in the share trip window, the specific link will immediately stop working. This puts you in full control of who can see your plans and when.

At Vew, our mission is safety for travel. Whether it’s through hyper-local safety scores or robust privacy controls, we are dedicated to ensuring every woman can explore the world with peace of mind.
