We Are Travel Girls Getaways

We Are Travel Girls was founded in 2016 with the mission of empowering and inspiring women to explore the world with confidence! Recognizing the lack of a dedicated platform for female travel bloggers, we set out to create a community that celebrates and elevates the voices of female travelers.

Since its launch, We Are Travel Girls has grown to become more than just trusted resource read by over 9 million travelers. We host events and meet ups in cities around the globe, curate bespoke luxury women’s trips through Travel Girls Getaways, and give back through Travel Girls Giving.
