Exploring a new city can be super intimidating, especially if you’re a woman on a solo travel wave. Luckily, Airbnb offers experiences with experts in their craft to guide you through your city travels in a unique way.

As a part of Women’s History Month, we wanted to highlight these WOC womenpreneurs who are using the power of Airbnb to supplement their income. So far, women have made nearly $20B in supplemental income on Airbnb through hosting and experiences.

If your next trip is in one of these cities, make sure you book a dynamic tour with these ladies and support women entrepreneurs!
