Why Cummari is Perfect for Solo Female Travelers

If you’re a woman planning a solo trip to Sicily and searching for a safe, welcoming, and inspiring place to stay, Cummari was created exactly for you. My experience as a longtime solo traveler shaped every detail of this home, making it one of the first accommodation in Europe designed specifically with solo female travelers in mind.

For 20 years, I traveled the world for work, living in temporary rentals across more than 30 countries. As both a host and a founder, I’ve built Cummari from everything I learned—what women need to feel safe, comfortable, connected, and at ease when traveling alone.

A Home Built From Real Solo Travel Experience

My journey began in 2006, when I spent nearly the entire year on the road as an international correspondent and later as CEO of my own publishing company. I moved every few months—from Malaysia to Finland to Turkey—integrating into new cultures quickly while living in short-term homes. This lifestyle taught me the difference between a place you simply stay in and a place that truly supports you.

“During all my travels, one thing remained constant: I always spent holidays in Italy. Then, one year, a friend asked me the question that changed everything: ‘If you love Italy so much, why aren’t you spending time in Sicily?’”

That advice led me to the island that continues to surprise me with its beauty, generosity, and magic. And it’s here that I created Cummari—my dream home for women traveling solo.
