Solo Female Travel Specialist

As a solo female traveler myself, I bring my passion and firsthand experience in the travel industry to every journey I plan. My mission is to empower women around the world to connect, explore, and discover their true selves through incredible travel experiences.


Empowering Women, One Journey at a Time:


As the heart and soul behind our "Not Quite Solo Solo Travel" group, I truly understand the unique blend of courage and curiosity it takes to travel alone. But here's the twist – with me, you're never really alone. I specialize in organizing group trips exclusively for solo female travelers, creating a vibrant community where like-minded women can support and inspire each other every step of the way.


Why Travel With Me?


Building Community:


Travel is not just about destinations; it's about the journey and the people you meet along the way. My group trips foster a sense of belonging and camaraderie, connecting women from various walks of life who share the same passion for discovery.


Empowerment Through Exploration:


I believe in the transformative power of travel. Stepping out of your comfort zone and exploring new cultures can be incredibly empowering. My goal is to provide safe, exciting, and enriching travel experiences that enable women to grow, learn, and thrive.


Customized Experiences:


From exotic getaways to cultural immersions, each trip is meticulously planned to cater to the interests and preferences of solo female travelers. Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or cultural enrichment, I've got you covered.


Let’s Connect!

The most amazing trip I've ever been on!
Janel is absolutely the best! She helped me plan a trip to Rome and Sorrento/Amalfi Coast. She helped me with flights and tours and listened to exactly what I wanted to do. We would not have done this trip if it weren't for her!

We look forward to working with her again.
Janel was very friendly, professional and detail oriented. She did a wonderful job of planning our recent trip, right down to walking times from train stations to hotels.
