This week I hosted the second We Are Travel Girls LA Meet-Up, in Santa Monica at SHOREbar. We had an awesome turnout, so thank you to all of you who made the effort to join us! One our favorite things about this community is getting to connect with all you lovely ladies in person!
During our meet-ups people always ask how We Are Travel Girls came about. Becky and I met on a design 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. The following spring we joined to co-found the company together. We launched WeAreTravelGirls.com in June 2016 and have worked hard to make this community a place where female travelers from all over the world can connect. We publish 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 last year we launched Travel Girls Getaways offering a range of trips around the world.
Special thanks goes out to Michael Pizzoli for capturing images of the evening for us. @MichaelPizzoliPhotography is an LA-based photographer who specializes in editorial and fashion shots to be sure to contact him if you’re in need of an excellent photographer!
And a huge thank you goes out to SHOREbar for hosting us at their chic, super cool venue, and keeping conversations flowing with yummy cocktails, and lively music.
