SHARE YOUR TRAVEL STORY

We Are Travel Girls is a female travel community and blog. All the content on the blog is written by the WATG team and our female contributors from the community. The purpose of the blog is to give women a place to share their travel stories, share their travel tips and inspire other female travellers.

If you represent a brand or are submitting an article specifically promoting a brand, destination, hotel or tour company that you are affiliated with please email ryan@wearetravelgirls.com to discuss pricing before submitting your content. Please note we currently do not accept any unpaid promotion or collaboration requests.
