About Traveleira, a solo female travel blog
Traveleira is a solo female travel blog dedicated to travel tips and chronicles I have lived while traveling. I am a solo female traveler who is always looking forward to making the most of her budget.
Who’s Behind Traveleira?
I want to show the world that becoming a traveler is not such a hard thing. It all began when a professor told me that I should dedicate myself to writing travel chronicles. I didn’t really know what that meant at the time, but as I started reading more, I realized that travel is a literary genre in its own right.
I discovered that I truly enjoy my time traveling as a female solo traveler, and that I was constantly looking for ways to travel on a budget. By combining these two passions, I was able to develop workshops and products to help others achieve their travel dreams.
I believe people should always follow their dreams, and if I have knowledge that can help others achieve theirs, then I should stand for it. I also want to inspire women to understand that solo female travel is not as crazy or dangerous as we’ve been made to believe — that we are capable of doing it.

Where We’ve Been Featured
Fortunately, I have also had the opportunity to be featured by different media outlets and also, by fellow solo female travel bloggers since I have started this blog. Some of the most important have been Huffington Post and Expert Flyer.
These have been great achievements in my Traveling and Blogging careers. These platforms have been really important to keep on promoting female solo travel and budget travel reaching different audiences.
This is Me
I’m Brenda, born and raised in Puerto Rico in 1989. Coincidentally, the Berlin Wall fell that same year — a reminder that the world was changing, and perhaps why my generation finds travel more accessible than ever.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Foreign Languages (Italian and Portuguese) and Spanish Studies from the University of Puerto Rico, where my passion for travel truly began. I also hold a Master’s degree in Cultural Tourism and I share my academic views on my portfolio, brendagisselle.com.
During my final year of college, a professor asked me:
“Why don’t you become a travel writer?” I had no idea how one becomes a travel writer — but that question stayed with me. Soon after, I started Traveleira. It’s been a long journey, and this blog has grown into the space I once dreamed of creating. I’m still not sure if I’ve fully become “the travel writer” — but the journey continues.
When I’m not traveling or writing, I enjoy reading (I’m a literature lover), listening to music, watching sports, and writing about volleyball. I also appreciate the small joys — like discovering my favorite makeup brand.
