GAL PAL Academy

Hi I’m Jo Moore, the founder of Gal Pal Academy and the host of the Gal Pal Show Podcast.

I started the company in 2017, after I returned from my second trip around the world. I wanted to inspire and empower women to plan their own solo adventure that would be personal and unique to them. 
When I travelled in 2012, there was no help or advice for planning my own solo female trip. I went to travel agents who advised me that their idea of the perfect backpacking trip, was if I did their tours and followed their round the world flight plan. But I wanted to go to China, then India, then Thailand and that wasn’t possible with them, as I would be crossing back over my own travel path.
So, I spent several months heavily researching and planning my trip, to come up with what I knew felt like the perfect trip for me. I wasn’t going in a straight line around the world, I was zigzagging but was going to the countries I wanted to, and at the time I wanted to do it. This felt so right, it felt like the round the world trip that I had being dreaming of.
I gained more and more confidence and this continued to grow the further I got into my travel. I felt so empowered, independent and free. I’ve explored more destinations then I ever expected to and met so many people that I’ve lost count! Travel is a huge part of my life, from starting a travel business for women, to teaching young people about travel. I love travel and I want you to fall in love with travel too.
Just take that chance and believe in yourself. Travel is what you make of it.
I’d love for you to join Gal Pal Academy and start planning your adventure with me. 

Happy travel planning gals!

PS. What’s your must see destination, that you just HAVE to see?
