This has been a conversation I’ve been having a lot lately.
What does “solo” traveller mean?
👉🏼Is it because you’re single?
👉🏼Is it because you spend the whole time of your trip alone?
The way I view it, the moment you take that first step on a journey, whether you will spend your trip solo, meet up with a tour group, friends, or a mix of both, it’s YOUR solo journey.
Whether you’re married, have a partner or are single, if you take that trip alone, again it’s your SOLO journey.
SOLO TRAVEL-is your own experience on how you want to travel, don’t feel you need to travel a certain way to have a valid solo travel experience!
If you want to mix it up with the time you spend alone or time spent with a new group of other travellers, (like free walking tours, day tours, meet-ups or small group tours) that’s totally up to you!
Some of my best friends I have meet on my solo travels!
Your JOURNEY, your way.

‘𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝑰 𝒔𝒆𝒆 𝒊𝒕, 𝒊𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒃𝒐𝒘, 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒈𝒐𝒕𝒕𝒂 𝒑𝒖𝒕 𝒖𝒑 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒏” That is such a great quote and a true statement for our tour of Cuba.
Firstly, for some just getting there was difficult. ✈️
Add on ongoing power supply issues. ⚡️
Then a hurricane! 🌀
But was it all worth it to see the “rainbows” of Cuba, its culture and its people? YES!
Some journeys are not easy, but that doesn’t make them any less transformative and powerful.
Where have you been that was difficult to get to but was worth every minute to get there?

Sometimes we want to celebrate 𝒃𝒊𝒈 𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔 in our lives. Birthdays are one of them what better way than celebrating with a getaway?
But wouldn’t it be wonderful not to have the stress of organising it? That is where I can help, letting you enjoy that milestone with less stress and more enjoyment!
“Gina helped me plan my 50th birthday trip to Bali based on her extensive knowledge of running Women’s Retreats over there. She was able to connect me with truly authentic experiences and gave me her recommendations and suggestions about everything from accommodation, spas, places to eat, day clubs, activities, and apps to use.
Thanks to her I had the most incredible trip with so many special memories created thanks to her advice.
I totally recommend using her to help plan your trip to get the most out of your travels!”
