Women's Group Travel FAQ | She Only Journeys

Question 1

How much is the deposit?

Accepted Answer

Deposits vary by trip and are listed on each journey's detail page. The deposit secures your spot while you arrange flights and finalise your plans. The remaining balance is due closer to departure — the exact date is confirmed at booking.

Question 2

Is the deposit refundable?

Accepted Answer

Deposits are generally non-refundable, as they cover costs committed on your behalf from the moment you book. If you need to cancel, we'll do our best to find a replacement traveller, which may allow a partial refund. We strongly recommend travel insurance that covers cancellation.

Question 3

How do I reserve my spot?

Accepted Answer

Click the 'Reserve My Spot' button on any journey page. You'll be taken to our secure booking platform where you can pay your deposit and complete your registration. Once confirmed, you'll receive a welcome email from Lisa with everything you need to know.

Question 4

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept all major credit and debit cards. Payment is processed securely through our booking platform. If you have questions about payment options, get in touch and we'll help.

Question 5

I've never travelled solo before — is this right for me?

Accepted Answer

Designed especially for women who are joining on their own. She Only Journeys Together is specifically designed for women who want to explore the world without needing a travel companion. You'll be welcomed into a warm, supportive group from the moment you book.

Question 6

Do I have to share a room?

Accepted Answer

Room arrangements vary by trip. Some journeys offer shared twin rooms as standard, with a single supplement available if you prefer your own space. Room details are listed on each journey page. If you're happy to share, we'll match you with a compatible travel companion.

Question 7

Is it safe to travel alone as a woman?

Accepted Answer

Safety is at the heart of how we design every journey. You're never actually alone — Lisa is with you throughout, and the group travels together. We choose destinations, accommodation, and activities with women's safety as a priority. Lisa has extensive experience travelling in all our destinations.

Question 8

How big are the groups?

Accepted Answer

Group sizes vary by journey — each trip page shows the exact number of guest places available. This is intentional: smaller groups mean better access to experiences, more flexibility, and the kind of genuine connection that simply doesn't happen in large tour groups.

Question 9

Is there an age range?

Accepted Answer

Our travellers range from their 30s to their 70s. There's no upper or lower age limit — what matters is a spirit of adventure and openness. Our groups are wonderfully mixed and that diversity is part of what makes them so special.

Question 10

Will I know anyone before the trip?

Accepted Answer

Probably not — and that's fine. Once you're booked, you'll be added to a private group chat where Lisa introduces everyone before departure. By the time you meet in person, you'll already feel like you know each other.

Question 11

Are flights included?

Accepted Answer

Flights are not included. You book your own international flights to the trip's arrival city. This gives you flexibility to fly from your nearest airport and extend your trip if you wish. Lisa will advise on the best arrival and departure airports for each journey.

Question 12

Do I need travel insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes — travel insurance is required for all She Only Journeys Together trips. Your policy must cover medical expenses, emergency evacuation, and trip cancellation. We recommend purchasing insurance as soon as you book so you're covered from day one.

Question 13

Which meals are included?

Accepted Answer

Most meals where applicable, as specified in each journey’s itinerary. Meals and refreshments not specifically listed in the itinerary are not included.

Question 14

Is there free time built in?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every itinerary includes some unstructured time for you to wander, rest, shop, or simply sit in a café and absorb where you are. Travel should feel like an adventure, not a schedule.

Question 15

Does Lisa lead every trip personally?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Lisa is present on every She Only Journeys Together journey. She's not a remote organiser — she travels with you, eats with you, and is there if anything unexpected comes up. That personal presence is central to what makes these trips different.

Question 16

How do you choose destinations?

Accepted Answer

Every journey is built around something extraordinary — a total solar eclipse, a mythological festival, a landscape steeped in ancient history. Lisa researches each destination deeply and only runs trips to places she has personally explored and loves.

Question 17

Can I suggest a destination?

Accepted Answer

Yes, please do. Lisa genuinely loves hearing where women want to go. Head to the Journeys page and use the destination suggestion form at the bottom — your idea might become a future trip.
