Women deny ourselves gifts and time we sorely need. We don’t celebrate birthdays or special occasions the way we deserve. And we express guilt if we buy something extravagant. I recently heard myself make an excuse for buying a designer dress….and it was for my son’s wedding! So how can we get over this absurdity?

If it was Tuesday it was Belgium. In the 80’s we flooded Europe and SE Asia many with first passports. In the 90’s overseas travel started in college with junior years abroad. 2000’s tourists went to new countries in Eastern Europe, did volunteer tourism and adult study programs.…

Are You Scared of Your 1st Solo Trip?
…Today we received a beautiful email from one of the women who went with our group on the AMA cruise to SE Europe in July/August.

Who Should Never Travel with a Group?
We usually write about group travel since that is what The Women’s Travel Group offers so successfully. So who should NOT join a group?
Chronically unpunctual people. You know them: you lie to them about meeting times. If you fit this mold, tell us. You should taxi to our next museum or do your own thing- just let us know.
