My journey
Kia ora, I’m Gina – the founder of Wanderlust Solo Tours.
I am passionate about ensuring my tours and retreats are a balance of activities and relaxation, while building connections, new friendships and making sure you have a good laugh along the way!
How it all began:
I was nearly 40. Yes, 40 years old. Where did the time go? Wasn’t I supposed to have figured it all out by now?
I had a house, I had a job, I had my own business, yet I wasn’t happy or fulfilled. I felt the lack of what I “should” have in my life.
Then it all changed over night. A bad long term relationship breakdown left me reassessing everything, wondering why I had all the material things yet felt so empty.
I had worked hard and made sacrifices. I had the dream house and a good business, but a huge mountain of debt after the separation and a lot of unresolved emotions.
This left me craving for more. READ MORE ABOUT ME AND HOW TRAVEL HELPED ME CHANGE MY LIFE.
Learn not only to discover new cultures but also discover the true YOU!

It’s not just about the JOURNEY, it’s also about the PEOPLE you meet!
On my recent Cuban Adventure I hosted 8 incredible women, but also along the way we met some amazing locals.
It’s the interaction with locals and the connections you make that can make for a very special travel experience.

Being a conscious traveller means doing even just a small bit to help save our planet while on our adventures. Plastic water bottles are a major problem and changing our ways when traveling by using refillable water bottles is a great start towards a step to solving this problem.
In those countries where clean drinking water can be a problem having a great filtration system is even more important. Keeping you healthy and hydrated 💦

It was such a pleasure working with Emma to give her the most amazing Bali Experience with her friends for her 50th birthday.
Helping women experience purposeful, joyful and cup-filling journeys is what I LOVE to do.
Whether it’s on one of my retreats, tours or helping you create your own transformational travel experience, I am so happy to be the “wing-woman” when you need that helping hand or encouragement to get out there to explore solo!
