Women only tours are becoming increasingly popular, but what is it really like to go on one? For a first-hand account, we had the pleasure of speaking with Carolyn Ray from JourneyWoman<\/a>, who recently travelled on our inaugural Venice & The Croatian Coast, A Women Only Tour.<\/p>\n

Insight Vacations\u2019 Wander Women<\/a> tours offer the opportunity to join a diverse group of female travelers from all over the world. These trips feature thoughtfully chosen routes, are curated by female Travel Directors, and include MAKE TRAVEL MATTER\u00ae<\/a> Experiences that triumph local women\u2019s achievements and businesses. On Venice & The Croatian Coast, A Women Only Tour and Inspiring Iceland, A Women Only Tour, you will meet exceptional ladies that are working within their communities to sustain their culture, heritage, and our planet\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

Four years ago, Carolyn Ray took the ambitious step and sold up all of her belongings to fulfil her dream of travelling the world. \u201cI didn\u2019t want to be constrained by possessions and the corporate life anymore. As a consultant I could manage my clients from the road. So, when my daughter left for university, I auctioned off everything to be able to travel.\u201d she explains. Then, in 2019, Carolyn had the opportunity to purchase the women\u2019s solo travel website JourneyWoman<\/a> and she jumped at the chance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

JourneyWoman started in 1994 as the first solo travel website for women. It was created by the late Evelyn Hannon<\/a>, recognized as the first writer covering solo travel in the world. It now has 62,000 subscribers and offers a women\u2019s travel directory, to help women find safe and affordable travel experiences, including women-only tours.<\/p>\n

\u201cJourneyWoman is also a community,\u201d Carolyn explains. \u201cWe\u2019re comprised of women, mostly aged over 50, who have a shared interest in travel. And shared values about why and how we travel. We want authentic travel experiences, to experience a place and get to know the people. And when you travel solo you have even more opportunity to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n
