Here’s Why Traveling in Groups is a Fantastic Idea.

            To travel solo or with a group is an age-old debate. Frankly speaking, there’s no right or wrong way to travel. That’s the beauty of travel – it’s all about freedom. But if you have been doing all of the planning and free-wheeling exploring on your own, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t try group travel at least once in your life. Whether you decide to go on the trip with five of your closest friends or join a tour company, traveling with other people has its perks, from meeting new people to comfort and flexibility. Still not convinced? Here are five compelling reasons why you should definitely consider group travel.

Worry-free traveling

            Planning a trip can be hectic, especially if you are traveling to an unfamiliar destination. With group travel, you won’t have to do much of the planning yourself. And if you seek the help of a tour company, you are guaranteed to find the best vacation and accommodation spots for your budget. Plus, you won’t have to worry about the details. No more scouring endless web pages trying to find the perfect attractions or affordable travel options. Who wouldn’t want that?

Let’s not forget the bonding opportunities

            Not everyone relishes the chance of meeting new people. But then again, group travel affords you the perfect opportunity to break out of your shell. If you choose to go on your adventure with a group of strangers, it’s your chance to forge new relationships. But if you go on it with a group of friends, you can get the opportunity to solidify those relationships. The best travel companies make a deliberate effort to bring like-minded people together. And here at Ladies-Only travel, we will consider your interests, age, preferences, and more to partner you with the right group tour.

You can still have a taste of solo travel

            Just because you choose to embark on a group adventure doesn’t mean you can’t set out some time for yourself. After all, you and your travel buddies aren’t technically joined at the hip. Therefore, if you wish, you can sneak off on your own and experience the place how you want it. Some group travel packages even afford you free days so that you can seek out attractions that appeal to your sense of wanderlust.

It’s way more affordable

No one wants to spend every dime they have on a vacation, no matter how bad they’ve been longing for one. That’s where group travel comes in handy. While you essentially pay for the tour and guide, it’s still a cost-effective way of traveling. Skeptical? Well, you shouldn’t be. There’s a simple reason behind this, and it all comes down to a little economic principle called “buying power.” Group tour companies tend to enjoy discounted rates from airlines and accommodation providers since they direct people their way. Therefore, if you opt for a group tour, you can experience luxury travel like never before and at affordable prices.

Share the memories and experience

            Exploring new destinations, tasting unfamiliar cuisines, and experiencing new cultures on your own – to be blunt – isn’t that fun. Yes, solo travel has its moments. But being in a new place alone can quickly feel lonely. For instance, you will probably find yourself with an endless folder of selfies because stopping strangers to ask them to take a photo of you got a little bit too daunting. Group travel, however, allows you to share all those special moments with others. You get someone to capture those picture-perfect moments for you. Plus, you get to share plenty of laughs and conversations with like-minded people.

The world’s a big place full of wonders. Why explore it alone? Book a group travel package today and make 2021 the year that you share a trip of a lifetime with awesome people.

We Seek to Inspire Trust

Along these exclusive trips, our hope is to provide ladies with the opportunity to build solid, long-lasting relationships. Travel can be seen as a sacred journey, as many people use this time to relax, unwind, let loose, find themselves, etc. We believe there is really no better way to experience new places, than alongside new faces that want to be there with you.

Additionally, as you form bonds and create new friendships, we understand that as women, our safety is always at the forefront of our minds. When out and about in different travel areas, touristy or not, we know that not everyone has our best interests in mind. We take the safety of ourselves and our new friends very seriously and heavily prioritize that during your trips with us. We here at Ladies Only Travel know there is safety in numbers. You can feel confident traveling knowing that your safety is our top priority, and we advocate and encourage looking out for your fellow sisters along these trips as well.

As one of our steps to ensure your safety during these travels, we only work with experienced, reputable travel partners who offer high-level service. These quality accommodations are implemented because our only wish is that you have an amazing time and feel pampered, prioritized, and valued. Working with trustworthy companies, hotels, and accommodation services allows us to put our best foot forward in demonstrating how much we prioritize your travel experience with us.

Tell Visitors What They Want to Know

The main mission of Ladies Only Travel is to provide women with the opportunity to travel with purpose. Regardless of your personal purpose for traveling, our goals still remain true – we want to help other women and experience new things alongside women who share the same passions. Prioritizing women is at the forefront of our business, and providing a positive outlet for women to feel valued, important, and beautiful is what keeps us going.

As you travel with us, we do all of the work. Not only will you find an immense ease as you travel with us – being that the boring things like planning, calling, and setting up excursions are out of the way – but, we also offer a variety of different travel experiences. Each trip will be different and unique, as activities will pertain to the destination, as well as the overall tone of the trip. You have the opportunity to participate in relaxing spa experiences, thrilling adventures, wild road trips, fun-packed weekends, low-key retreats, and much more!

In efforts to really drive home our mission statement of bringing women together, inspiring them to be themselves, and encouraging unapologetic fun, we produce all of this through common interests. If you are currently reading this, we have something in common – we both love to travel, we’re both women, and we both want to live an extraordinarily fun life. As you travel with us, you will meet other like-minded women who feel the exact same way as you do, and want to build friendships atop those shared interests. Its a win-win!

Now, to get into the nitty-gritty. We here at Ladies Only Travel believe that specifics are better than bold claims, and we strive to be as transparent as possible with our new friends. As it is clear to see, this traveling group is called “Ladies Only Travel”. There are no men on these trips, nor are they invited or allowed to participate. In the interest of respecting everyone’s vacation, we ask that you leave your men at home and deep-dive into a women-focused trip.

Lastly, our most important consideration is FUN. Good, ol’ fashioned fun! Our hope is that you pack your bags, leave your worries behind, and step foot off that plane feeling like a million dollars.

The Birth of Ladies Only Travel

As this business has flourished, we have received many questions on why Jodi, our founder, started this. Initially, it seemed insane to grow a business during the COVID-19 pandemic, but this business persisted and grew right before her eyes. Jodi quickly realized that there were other women, just like her, who were yearning for this sense of adventure. She found that creating Ladies Only Travel would give women  the chance to see new places, meet new people, and live an adventurous life, but in a safe group setting where friendships could grow and fun could take place on their terms.

It is no secret that women travel differently than men. In efforts to not stereotype or shame women or men, or how they behave on vacations, but there are oftentimes obvious discrepancies. In discussions with other women, and through my own personal experiences as well, sometimes men simply don’t want to do what you want to do, and/or vice versa. Perhaps your man wants to stay in the hotel tonight, but you would rather go to dinner, grab a drink or two, and let down your hair. One person will have to sacrifice, and that doesn’t always make for the best trip. During a female-only traveling experience, you get to do what you want to do, and the excursions we host fall in line with that message.

Our founder, Jodi, alongside the many fabulous women who brought this dream to life, want women to feel pampered, safe, and beautiful. There is an overwhelming amount of societal pressure placed on women in today’s world, and we as women wear many hats. Additionally, there are undoubtedly many life stressors that occur in women’s lives that they won’t bring themselves to discuss. Regardless of circumstance or stage of life, we understand the need for self-care and pure enjoyment. Ladies Only Travel provides you a pocket of time away from life, where you can reconnect with yourself, shed those stressful layers off your back, and simply put – give yourself a break!

Our Values

The driving force behind Ladies Only Travel is to give back to other women. We acknowledge the necessity for bliss, adventure, and belly-aching-laughter! Ladies Only Travel was created, constructed, and produced by women, for women, with women as the center focus. Our goal is to give back to women by offering them the respect and  helping-hand they may need, whenever they need it. By showing women a good time and valuing their uniqueness, you reinforce that there is friendship and love behind unopened doors – and we conduct business with this in mind.

Additionally, one of our ever-important values was to construct a way for women to travel with a purpose. Many seek out traveling to reconnect, or connect, with themselves again, or make new friends, or step away from life for a while – the list can go on forever. With Ladies Only Travel, you can travel with all of these goals in mind, but in a group setting! Group settings allow you to travel to new places, stay safe, build bonds with new friends, experience adventure, and much more.

In today’s COVID world, it is vital, now more than ever, to help women create long-lasting memories and relationships with other people. This time can be incredibly isolating and scary, and the love for traveling truly glues us all together. Ladies Only Travel allows you to take a chance, do something wild, and create memories that you’ll fondly reflect on in the years to come. Not only will you have those memories, but you will also have new friends! As Ladies Only Travel travels to various destinations with various different groups of women, you will always have the opportunity to make new, lasting friendships and bonds with women that you perhaps would have never met.

Inadvertently, experiences like these can heavily impact the way you feel about yourself. It is so easy to get caught up in the mundaneness of life and feel as though you will only ever be who you are today. Although it may be hard to believe, traveling can open up new worlds for you on your road to self-discovery, and allow you to build your self-worth. You can try new foods, do crazy things, participate in wild excursions, and truly prove to yourself that you are whoever you want to be whenever you want to be it. We are our hardest critics, and traveling can open our eyes to appreciate ourselves more and value ourselves for who we are as humans. As you travel with us, our hope is that you see how important you are to the world and to other women, and elevate your opinions about yourself.

For many, traveling can be one of the greatest joys of life. Experiencing new things, new people, and new places is truly an exciting way to experience the world. Although traveling can be a ton of fun, the company you choose to travel with can make the biggest difference!

Traveling Alone is Not Always Easy

As women, traveling alone can sound like a wonderful idea. Not only do you get to go where you want to go, but you also get to do whatever you want to do. Oftentimes, mixed company on trips won’t always want to participate in the same activities that you might, and that only makes traveling solo sound more appealing. However, the reality of traveling alone as a woman isn’t always this easy. Traveling alone has the potential to breed some loneliness as you travel the world without any companionship, and there are also very real safety issues to consider as well. As you ponder the idea of traveling alone, perhaps consider the idea of traveling in an all-women traveling group!

Traveling in a Group Can Be Exciting

Traveling in a group can be very exciting. You would be traveling alongside likeminded people who want to travel and want to partake in activities, same as you. You also have the capability to be a solo traveler on these group trips, and break away from the bunch for a while, but always know that you have companionship if you need it. Traveling in a group setting, especially with all women, provides a bonding experience that will allow you to make new friends, see new places, and experience new things with people who are looking to have fun alongside you. Depending on the size of the group, you also have the capability to break off into smaller groups to participate in other activities, that way everyone can do what they want to do and make the most out of their trip.

Safety in Numbers, Especially for Ladies

One of the best benefits of traveling in a group, for ladies, is that there is safety in numbers. As many of us know, the idea of traveling solo can be great, but the reality is – our safety is at risk if we were to travel alone, or even travel in a very small group of 2-3 ladies. New places and new faces won’t always have our best interest in mind, and for many ladies, it can be beneficial to travel in larger groups in order to shrink the targets on our backs. The more ladies that are present, the more we can look out for one another and ensure the safety of everyone there.

Experience Group Events with Ladies Only Travel

Lastly, another great benefit of traveling in groups is that you can experience group events. Group events are tons of fun when you’re traveling to new places, and experiencing new things with a large group of fun-loving, eager travelers. You can partake in specific group events like wine tasting or sight-seeing excursions, and have the opportunity to meet new people and build new friendships.

If an all-ladies traveling group sounds as good to you as it does to us, consider joining us to our next destination! We here at Ladies Only Travel comprise trips with a comprehensive budget breakdown, as well as a list of the excursions you will partake in.
