Top Woman-Owned Travel Companies That Should Be on Your Radar

From group trips, to travel apps, to unique ways to give back while exploring, today, there are woman-owned travel companies for any traveler. Here are some of my picks for woman-owned travel companies that need to be on your radar.

Make peace with all the women you once were, for t Make peace with all the women you once were, for they are the bones of the temple you sit in now. 

for they are the rivers of wisdom leading you toward the sea. 

words by Emory Hall, which were too good not to re-share, and postcards from a month in Greece, which felt right to send off the last day of summer 2023 🤍

For every moment I spent savoring this summer, I also found myself questioning who I am at the intersection between my twenties and thirties. Am I too old for this? And this? Is this the last time I'll do this? Or this? Are we expected to know more, act better, be different, suddenly and all at once, because of a number? Or is it really true what they say about ripening like fine wine. Is the best really yet to come? 

One thing I know for sure is that I have spent the past decade admiring everyone I meet who defies the 'expectations' of age, or convention. I realize if I get to be that person for someone else (or many someone elses across this lifetime) then I have a lot to look forward to, too. 

I hope if you ever get in your head about whether you are meant to be where you are, you remember that you are an example for someone else hoping to be validated, too. That's what these words remind me whenever I re-read them.

📸 P.s. on a more lighthearted note, which photo is your favorite? mine is number 2 ☺️ 

the fierce meltemi winds meant we couldn't cliff jump here which was a shame because I had dreamt of visiting Sarakiniko for ages, but it was beautiful and surreal nonetheless #OffDutyinGreece
The thing: ticking Yacht Week off our adventure li The thing: ticking Yacht Week off our adventure list 🇬🇷⛵

What a wild week, in a beautiful place, with excellent company. In my 30s I want to be, and be surrounded by, yes people ❤️ people that celebrate everything, that are in for a good time even when plans change, that love the big moments and the small, that want to stay up too late and smile too big and savor every inch of this wild and magical and all too brief blink of a life. 

Check out my Greece 🇬🇷 highlight for more Yacht Week recaps and follow @racheloffduty for more travel & career advice! What's on your adventure list?

This is 30 ✨ Here's a little photo dump from our This is 30 ✨ Here's a little photo dump from our sailing trip this past week in Greece! ⛵

To ring in 30, we gathered some crazy friends together in Greece to set sail on a 7 day @theyachtweek expedition - something we've been wanting to do for years!! It didn't entirely go as planned 😅 (more on this later) but I'm still so grateful for the opportunity to be here, in this place, doing & sharing what I love. 

This summer has been filled with big things, and I'm deep in my feelings today about the people and experiences along the way that've made this unconventional lifestyle even possible. I don't take a single minute of it for granted.

If 20s were a sprint, I hope 30s are marathon. Increased clarity about who I am and who I'm not, more appreciation for life's sweet moments as they come, more compassion to myself & to others when things inevitably don't go as planned, and more time spent on the things that bring me pride 🙏🏽

Cuba made my eyes wider than any camera lens could capture, but we did our best 🙏🏽 Slow mornings with our local hosts, late nights with live music on every street corner, watching the steady hands of a tabaquero. My favorite moments not captured on camera though are what weave it all together #OffDutyinCuba

Calling all adventure seekers & big dreamers 🙏🏽✈️

Want to be on the side of the internet that normalizes these things?

You've scrolled to the right place!

Hi! I'm Rachel, and I believe your most adventurous life doesn't need to be at odds with your career baddie life. You can have your cake, and eat it too. I have a full time job and am on month 28 of an #EndlessWorkcation, traveling 5-7 months of the year and working remotely from places near (to my home base in LA) and far (yes, we're talking alllll the time zones).

Are you here for it? If so, drop a quick intro below and be sure to follow @racheloffduty!

Don't feel bad about that vacation day! Here are Don't feel bad about that vacation day!

Here are some ❌ RED flags ❌ to look for, either in your current job or on your job hunt, that you should take notice of ASAP.

👉🏽 And scroll back on my feed if you missed my GREEN flags 🟢 post! I promise you, there are companies out there raising all the green flags for travel lovers like us! 

With workplace culture in transition towards more distributed workforces, more asynchronous work, and more emphasis on mental health, it's important to remember that the way you're used to isn't "the way it has to be." I hope you feel empowered to get out of that job that isn't serving you, or be a change agent in getting your company to realize that it can do things differently to retain talent like you longer. You might be able to influence things more than you think! 🙏🏽

Swipe for all the red flags you need to be looking for and tell me, are all of these present in your workplace or not?
