LUXURY TRAVEL FOR WOMEN, DESIGNED FOR CONNECTION
Travel Boldly. Connect Deeply. Live Fully.
OUR STORY
What started as a conversation over wine overlooking a Tuscan vineyard, turned into a calling. We were inspired to create a space where women could travel boldly, reflect deeply, and make new life long connections. We named it The Dandelion Journals—after a flower that thrives in any environment and rides the wind into new chapters. The Dandies, our trip leaders, are your guides on this journey, blending exploration, storytelling, and sisterhood. Our mission is to inspire transformation through travel—and to remind women everywhere that it’s never too late to start something beautiful.

Claudia - Portugal '24
“This was my first time traveling without my spouse. My husband is no longer able to travel as often as me and I have researched several women only travel opportunities. After much research I chose Portugal with Dandelion Journals and I couldn’t be happier that I did. Every aspect of the trip was well planned. Every day included the perfect mix of sightseeing with knowledgeable, energetic guides, amazing food, and downtime to rest or explore a little on our own.”

Jessica - Portugal '24
“I had an unforgettable experience traveling to Portugal with Dandelion Journals. From the incredible Michelin rated food and wine dinners to the thoughtfully curated cooking lesson with a Michelin chef, every moment was special. The trip was not only beautifully organized but also created an environment where I formed meaningful, lasting connections with the other women on the trip who I still talk to. If you’re looking for a travel experience that blends culture, community, and adventure, I highly recommend Dandelion Journals!”

“This trip has been exceptional. Heba and our Egyptologist, Rafik have provided a fabulous Egyptian experience. The diverse areas of the country , the food, and the entertainment have all provided a chance to get to know Egypt beyond the pyramids. Traveling with a wonderful group of women has made it even better. I feel so lucky to be a part of this for sure.”

The level of onsite support, accommodation, and local knowledge was well beyond any of my other group travel experiences.”
