A Little About me-Gina Cambridge
Kia Ora, I’m Gina.
Founder of Wanderlust Solo Women Tours.
New Zealand’s only ICF Certified Travel Coach through the Travel Coach Network.
Proud member of JourneyWoman and the Wellness Tourism Association.
But before any of that… I was a woman quietly falling apart behind a life that looked “successful.”
When Everything Shifted
For years, I worked hard. I built a business. I had the dream home. From the outside, everything looked solid.
Then it all changed almost overnight.
A long-term relationship breakdown left me reassessing everything. I found myself staring at a life that looked good on paper but felt empty in reality. There was debt from the separation, unresolved emotions, and a deep sense of “How did I get here?”
I had the material things.
But I had lost myself. And that left me craving something more.
- Not more stuff.
- More meaning.
- More connection.
- More aliveness.
The Trip That Changed Everything
Booking my first solo trip wasn’t brave. It was necessary.
- I needed space to think.
- To breathe.
- To feel capable again.
One country became another. Today I’ve travelled to 26 countries, exploring Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and beyond. Along the way, travel rebuilt my confidence and self-worth in ways I never expected.
I volunteered regularly at Head Rock Dog Rescue in Thailand.
I immersed myself in WWOOFing and WorkAway experiences in Wales, Italy and Morocco.
I worked alongside locals, lived simply, and saw the world through a different lens.
Travel stopped being about ticking off destinations. It became about growth. Contribution. Perspective. Re-discovering who I was outside of my roles. Travel gave me back to myself.
Why I Created Wanderlust Solo Women Tours
I realised I wasn’t the only woman standing at a crossroads.
So many women in midlife are navigating change. Divorce. Empty nests. Career shifts. Menopause. Reinvention. That quiet whisper that says, this can’t be all there is.
But travelling solo can feel overwhelming. Especially when confidence has taken a hit.
That’s why I created Wanderlust Solo Women Tours.
Our women-only tours and retreats are designed for solo female travellers, particularly women 45, 50, 60 and beyond who want meaningful, purposeful experiences without having to plan it all themselves. These aren’t just holidays. They are safe, supportive spaces to connect, recharge and Re-DiscovHER yourself.
- Structured enough to feel secure.
- Flexible enough to honour your independence.
- Deep enough to spark real transformation.
More Than Group Travel
Today, my work goes beyond hosting retreats and tours.
As an ICF Certified Travel Coach, I support women who want to build confidence through travel, whether that’s joining a group or stepping into their first solo adventure.
I partner with trusted local operators, small businesses and community organisations to create immersive, ethical experiences that benefit both our guests and the places we visit.
And I’ve built a community of women who talk honestly about anxiety, reinvention, neurodiversity, midlife shifts and what it truly means to start again. If you feel the call you can join our private group here: Wanderlust Solo Travel Tribe-Women’s Travel Empowerment
Because travel, when done with intention, is a powerful wellness tool.
If You’re in a Season of Change
- If you’re newly single.
- An empty nester.
- Rebuilding.
- Restless.
- Or simply ready for something that feels like you again.
You are not behind. You are evolving! Midlife is not an ending. It’s a redirection. And sometimes the most powerful way to find yourself again… is to leave what’s familiar.
If you’re ready for purposeful travel, meaningful connection and a community of like-minded women walking a similar path, I would love to welcome you. You can be part of our online community and receive VIP discounts and updates on new travel experiences here: Join our online community.
Because the world is wide.
And this next chapter gets to be yours.
