The answer

What you mentioned about religion prohibiting a woman's travel without a is correct. Therefore, it is not permissible for you to travel without a mahram except out of necessity. Many scholars have permitted a woman's travel without a mahram for an obligatory Hajj or obligatory , provided she is with a trustworthy group. Some of them permitted her travel without a mahram if the travel was for an act of obedience and she felt safe for herself.
