Why You Should Consider Joining a Women-Only Group Tour
Welcome to She Thrives with Stef Barti, a podcast dedicated to empowering women to live their best lives and thrive unapologetically.
Traveling is one of life’s greatest joys.
The thrill of exploring new places, discovering different cultures, and meeting people from all walks of life is unmatched.
But let’s be real—sometimes solo travel isn’t for everyone.
Maybe you’re not into the idea of venturing out alone, or perhaps your usual travel buddies aren’t always up for the adventure.
If that sounds like you, then a women-only group tour might just be what you need to unlock a whole new world of experiences.
This blog post is based on Episode 16 of my podcast, She Thrives with Stef Barti. If you prefer to listen, you can check out the original podcast episode.
In this post, I’m going to share with you the top five reasons why you should consider joining a women-only group tour.
Whether you’re looking for a sense of community, safety, or simply a way to connect with like-minded women, these tours offer something truly special.
Let’s dive in!
1. The Sisterhood Vibe
One of the most powerful aspects of a women-only group tour is the sense of sisterhood that comes with it.
Trust me when I say there’s nothing like spending time with like-minded women who share a positive, supportive energy.
I’ve personally experienced the magic of a group of women who are all about good vibes, positivity, and creating meaningful connections.
There’s an undeniable power in sisterhood—it’s uplifting, empowering, and can completely transform your travel experience.
As someone who’s always gravitated toward a mix of friends, I can honestly say that I never understood the full value of a supportive, empowering group of women until I started leading these tours myself.
It’s incredible how the energy shifts when you’re surrounded by women who are all about lifting each other up.

2. You Don’t Have to Travel Alone
Solo travel isn’t for everyone, and that’s perfectly okay.
If you’re someone who craves companionship and connection while traveling but doesn’t necessarily want to go it alone, a group tour is the perfect option.
Many women find themselves in this situation—you want to see the world, but you’re not ready for solo adventures.
A group of women traveling together creates a sense of community that can be both fun and reassuring.
Such an awesome time with these ladies. My next women retreat in Menorca and Bali happening very soon 🙂
After everything we’ve been through over the past few years, many people are seeking more meaningful connections and returning to the idea of community.
There’s something so healing about sharing experiences with others, especially when they’re going through the same thing as you.
So if you’re ready to explore new destinations, but don’t want to do it by yourself, a women-only group tour is a fantastic solution.
3. Safety and Peace of Mind
Traveling as a woman comes with its own set of challenges, especially when it comes to safety.
Unfortunately, we’ve all heard stories of unsafe situations while traveling solo.
As much as I believe there are more good people out there than bad, it’s still important to exercise caution and be mindful of our surroundings.
If you’ve ever felt uneasy about the idea of traveling alone, joining a women-only group tour can offer you that extra layer of security and peace of mind.
When you’re in a group, you don’t have to worry about navigating unfamiliar areas alone.
You’re surrounded by others who have your back, which can make all the difference when exploring new destinations.
I’ve had my own scary experiences while traveling, like being followed in Nazareth or having a bad encounter with a taxi driver in Turkey.
It’s not something I wish on anyone, but it has taught me to always prioritize safety.
A group tour removes that anxiety, allowing you to fully enjoy the trip without constantly looking over your shoulder.
4. No More Flaky Friends—Travel with Like-Minded Women
We’ve all had that experience where we plan a trip with friends, only for someone to back out or cancel last minute.
It’s frustrating, especially when you’re craving adventure. But with a women-only group tour, you don’t have to worry about that.
You’re part of a committed group of women who are excited about the same adventure and ready to go.
If your friends are always flaking, or if you’re tired of waiting for someone to be available, a group tour is a great way to ensure that your travel plans come to life.
Plus, you’ll meet new women who share your enthusiasm for travel, creating lifelong friendships along the way.
5. Enjoying the Girly Things Together
Let’s be real: sometimes you just want to go shopping, try on pretty dresses, or browse through local markets for unique souvenirs.
Traveling with a group of women offers you the freedom to enjoy these moments without feeling judged or left out.
There’s something special about bonding over a fun shopping spree or taking in the sights together, all while enjoying each other’s company.
As much as I’m into sports, I’ll admit—I’m also a huge fan of the stereotypical “girly” things like shopping for jewelry or exploring local handicrafts.
So, I make sure to carve out time for these types of activities in my group tours.
Whether it’s picking up some souvenirs or simply soaking in the beauty of the surroundings, there’s something incredibly special about sharing those moments with a group of like-minded women.

Additional Resource to help you slow down
Feminine embodiment & Self Love Practice
I created my “Unleash your Feminine Power” to help you really start diving into your own unique power.
In this course, you will learn to connect with your body through some very sensual movements.
There is no fancy choreography to worry about. I really wanted to make this as simple as possible.
The goal is to give you a somatic practice that you can implement into your daily routine in order to start embodying your authentic self.
It is high time we start prioritizing our relationship with our own body too.
Because in order to be truly happy and content in life, I really believe you need to strike for a balance.
That means feeding your soul, your heart, your body.
And this is the goal of my ” Unleash your Feminine Power“.
The beautiful thing is that once you start getting in touch with that fire within, it only grows from there.
This energy will go on to light up your path, simultaneously guiding you through life.
So in a way, it is your own inner guiding compass. 💕

Women Self Love Wellness Retreat
I am so passionate about women empowerment. Everything I do is based on this. I want to see more women embrace their authentic selves. Trust me life gets so much better.
That’s the main focus of my self love women retreat. In this Wellness retreat, we go deep. I really love to connect with my fellow sisters.
That’s why I only do small groups of 10-12 women.
This retreat is an invitation to embody your feminine and to dive into radical self love. Growth and shedding past limiting beliefs is the focal point.
We do this through various workshops, wellness practices such as breath work and lots of somatic movement.
As a dance teacher, of course we will also be using the power of dance and music to process, release and shed things that are holding us back so we can be born again.
Welcome to our transformational retreat where the focus is all on YOU.
Not only that, but we do it in style and comfort.
Our next retreat is in a breathtaking villa on the beautiful island of Gozo Malta. We will be staying in our own private villa.
And did I mention our own private chef? with our own private pool 🤭.
It is the perfect time to slow down and prioritize yourself.
Also, don’t forget to stay in touch for my Bali self love women wellness retreat, for pure feminine embodiment and lots of dancing also.
