What we’re about
Welcome to The Dandelion Journals Meetup Community - a space for women who want to see the world, connect with like-minded travelers, and experience meaningful journeys in good company.
We’re a women-owned travel company curating immersive, small-group trips around the globe—exclusively for women. Whether you’re craving cultural discovery, a bit of luxury, or just want to travel without all the stress of planning, our trips are designed with heart, intention, and community in mind.
Our itineraries go far beyond the typical tourist checklist. Picture yourself:
• Sailing through the limestone cliffs of Halong Bay in Vietnam after sipping egg coffee in Hanoi’s Old Quarter
• Wandering the blue-washed streets of Chefchaouen, Morocco and soaking in a hammam after exploring the medinas of Marrakech
• Strolling along the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland, with pub music still ringing in your ears from a night in Galway
• Learning to cook tagliatelle from a Tuscan nonna before retreating to a countryside villa with new friends
• Watching cherry blossoms fall in Kyoto, or kayaking at sunset off a Caribbean island after a beachside yoga session
We also host virtual events to connect before trips, share travel inspiration, and answer questions in a low-pressure, fun environment. Whether you’ve never traveled solo before or you’re a seasoned explorer looking for your next kindred crew—you’re invited.
Come as you are. Leave with new stories, new friendships, and a renewed love for travel.
Let’s wander the world, one thoughtfully curated journey at a time.
