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.
Travel and travelling can be scary as $&@£!
BUT it can also be the most transformative experience you could have.
It can build your confidence, spark personal growth and help you realise just how damn capable you are!
How has travel changed you?

#travelhack REFILLABLE WATER BOTTLES do not travel without one! Help save the planet and reduce plastic waste, and feel good at the same time 😇
If travelling to a destination where the water quality may be a bit “doggy” use a great water filtration system like from @watertogo
If no drinkable tap water is available buying one larger water bottle to use as a top-up is a better option than multiple plastic bottles.

Staying FOCUSED is such an important part of your travel planning. Don’t get overwhelmed with negative stories from others, be informed, be prepared, be educated, but trust you have got this and you’re going to have an AMAZING TIME!
What one person’s experience isn’t necessarily going to be your experience .
