✨ **Welcome Ladies!** ✨
I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s connect over a casual Zoom chat about one of our favorite passions—**travel.**
A little about me: I own a boutique travel company, and yes, I’m absolutely obsessed with it! But this group is about much more than my business—it’s about bringing together sophisticated, adventurous women who love to explore, share stories, sip cocktails, and maybe even plan unforgettable journeys together.
🌍 **About Our Travel Style**
Through **Long and Short Travel Adventures (LASTA)**, I curate upscale, women-only journeys that focus on culture, relaxation, and adventure—without the hustle and stress. Each trip is thoughtfully designed for comfort, camaraderie, and ease:

* **Women only, small groups** (10 guests + 2 hosts)
* **Single occupancy rooms** for privacy & comfort
* **Upscale accommodations** with a touch of indulgence
* **Moderate activity levels** (perfect if you’d rather skip endless stairs or long hikes)
* **Built-in free days** for spas, shopping, or spontaneous adventures

✨ Before we travel, we meet over Zoom (and whenever possible, in person) so that by the time we’re abroad, you already feel like you’re with friends.
🌸 **Trips & Gatherings**
Our adventures range from chic day trips near Chicago, to 3–4 day wellness escapes, to 7–15 day immersive journeys around the world. I’m also excited to host casual in-person meetups here in Chicago—whether that’s brunch, cocktails, or even learning poker or bid whist together!
The vision is simple: to create an intimate circle of women who travel beautifully, laugh endlessly, and create lifelong connections while exploring the world.
