If you’re looking for a sign to travel the world on your own, this is it. Solo travel is so, so good for the soul, I don’t even know where to begin.

Women are often discouraged to travel alone because it’s too ‘dangerous’ or ‘risky.’ Sure it can be if you’re not prepared, but do your research, find a group and get exploring, girl.

Female-lead retreats are just one of my biggest passions in life, so here’s why you should make the move, invest in yourself, and travel with a group of like-minded travelin’ babes this year - Here’s the top trends to look out for, when considering booking your experience abroad.

Wellness Retreats

Going on a women’s retreat not only surrounds you with incredible people but creates an atmosphere of trust, friendship and openness that’s hard to find anywhere else.

Adventure Travel

Travelling without your friends, family or partner can be challenging at first, but it allows you to create memories that are purely yours. Being around strangers forces you to know yourself and figure out the type of person you truly want to be. Looking for culture-rich experiences that promise memories to last a lifetime. From adventurous excursions to far-destinations, we’re taking travel to unexplored heights.
