Last weekend WATG Founders Becky van Dijk and Vanessa Rivers hosted the fourth We Are Travel Girls London Meet Up, at Duke Of Clarence Pub in South Kensington. We had a great turnout despite the fact that the venue had to be changed last-minute from a picnic in Hyde Park to a pub due to typical rainy British weather. So thank you to all of you who took time out of your day to join us!
During the meet up many of you asked how We Are Travel Girls came about. Becky and Vanessa met on a course at London College of Fashion. In November 2015, Becky started the @WeAreTravelGirls Instagram page, initially with the goal of simply creating a place to meet like-minded travel girls. And last spring they joined to co-found the company together. They launched WeAreTravelGirls.com in June 2016 and have worked hard to make this a community to inspire, connect, educate and empower female travelers around the world.
We Are Travel Girls publishes 5 stories a week from women all across the globe, so if you have an informative travel post to share please contribute a story! And this year we launched our Travel Girls Getaways kicking off with Bali Retreats in October and November. There are still a few places left on each week so if you would like to join us for a week in paradise please fill out an application on our Bali Retreat Page!
Special thanks goes out to Serena Houdrouge for photographing the event. Serena is a very talented London-based photographer who has worked with us on several WATG projects. So if you are in London and need a great photographer for a special project or just need someone to shoot some drool worthy Instagram shots with you then reach out to Serena on her website here!

Thank you so much Betty, thats great to hear that you like the community and the blog! Yes, it shows what you can achieve with alot of hard work and dedication. Often I feel like we are not growing or progressing forward fast enough and then I remember that I only left my job in September 2016 to focus on We Are Travel Girls, so we have actually come along way. Thank you so much for your support, we really really appreciate it to know our hard work is worth it! Hope to meet you at a future meet-up or travel girls getaway. Becky x
