“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.”
