✨ Our Story

For the past four years, we’ve been building Women of Wellness — a community rooted in connection, movement, and shared experiences for women in Los Angeles. Through wellness events and weekend retreats, we’ve created spaces where genuine connection and real friendships can actually form.

What we’ve witnessed time and time again is powerful: when women step away from their routines, slow down, and share meaningful experiences together, deep connections happen naturally. Many of the closest friendships in our community were formed during our weekend retreats.

That experience — combined with our own love for travel and exploring the world — is what inspired the Girls Travel Collective.

We’ve always believed that some of the most meaningful moments happen while traveling — seeing new places, trying new things, and sharing those experiences with people who value connection just as much as adventure. We wanted to create trips for women who love to travel, but don’t want to do it alone — and are tired of coordinating schedules, managing group chats, or taking on all the tedious work of planning just to make a trip happen.

So we took what worked so beautifully in our retreats — the connection, the care, the intention — and expanded it into longer, more immersive trips around the world.

These getaways are designed for women who want to travel, experience new places, and create lifelong friendships with like-minded women — especially those who value health and wellness as part of their lifestyle.

While our trips aren’t wellness retreats, we intentionally weave wellness into the experience. You’ll enjoy adventures, great food, drinks, and nights out — alongside movement, downtime, nourishing meals, and space to rest and recharge.

Our belief is simple: you don’t have to choose between having fun and taking care of yourself. With the right balance, you can enjoy both — and feel even better because of it.

At the core of everything we do is one mission:
to help women find genuine connection and friendship through shared experiences — wherever in the world those experiences take place.
