From Strangers to Soul Sisters: How Group Travel with Women Can Change Your Life

Imagine booking a trip with a group of women you’ve never met. You’re excited but also wondering, What if no one gets along? What if I don’t fit in? Fast forward a week, and you’re laughing over inside jokes, swapping travel stories, and exchanging numbers with your new best friends.

If you’ve ever traveled with a group of women, you know it’s an experience unlike any other. There’s a special kind of magic that happens when a group of strangers comes together to explore a new place—it’s about connection, laughter, and making memories that last a lifetime.

At MeWannaGo, we’ve seen this magic unfold time and time again. Whether it’s in Morocco, Tuscany, or the Maldives, our pre-planned trips make it easy to focus on the experience while leaving the details to us. But this blog isn’t about us—it’s about making the most of your group travel adventure.

1. Say Hello, and Keep Saying It

The first moments on a trip can feel a little awkward. Break the ice by introducing yourself to everyone—don’t wait for them to come to you. It’s amazing how quickly a simple “hi” turns into hours of conversation.

Pro Tip: Share why you chose the trip or what you’re most excited about. It’s a great way to connect and start building bonds.

2. Be Flexible, and Go with the Flow

No matter how perfectly planned the itinerary is, life happens. Weather shifts, a group member might want a detour, or an unexpected adventure opportunity pops up. The best group travelers are those who stay flexible and keep a sense of humor when plans change.

Pro Tip: Treat changes in the itinerary as part of the adventure. Some of the best memories come from spontaneous moments!

3. Bond Over the Bucket List Moments

Whether it’s camel trekking in the Sahara, savoring pasta in the Tuscan hills, or soaking up the sun in Costa Rica, group trips are packed with unforgettable experiences. Sharing those “wow” moments with others makes them even more special.

Pro Tip: Celebrate each other’s excitement—it’s contagious and brings the group closer together.

4. Laugh Through the Chaos

Group travel isn’t perfect, and that’s part of the adventure. Someone might spill coffee on the bus, forget their phone charger, or suggest a detour that turns into a mini-marathon. Laughing together turns those hiccups into hilarious memories.

Pro Tip: Pack a sense of humor and a flexible mindset. They’re the best tools for smooth group travel!

5. Find Your People, but Include Everyone

In a group of strangers, you’ll naturally click with some people more than others. That’s okay! Spend time with those who share your vibe but also stay open to new connections.

Pro Tip: A quick “Hey, want to join us?” or offering a seat at your table goes a long way in making the trip inclusive and warm.

6. Share the Little Things

Snacks, sunscreen, even a spare phone charger—sharing small essentials can spark big conversations. Plus, who doesn’t love snacks on a long ride?

Pro Tip: Pack extras like gum or travel-size goodies to share. They’re great icebreakers and a small way to show kindness.

7. Take a Moment for Yourself

Group trips are packed with energy, but don’t forget to recharge. Whether it’s a quiet walk, a solo coffee break, or just some time journaling, a little solo time helps you stay present and refreshed.

Pro Tip: Let the group know if you’re opting out of an activity for some downtime—they’ll appreciate the heads-up.

8. Celebrate the Unforgettable Moments

The beauty of group travel is in celebrating together. Whether someone conquers a fear, tells an amazing story, or cracks everyone up with their dance moves, make a habit of cheering each other on.

Pro Tip: At the end of the trip, share your favorite moments with the group. You might just spark a happy tear or two!

Why Group Travel?

Group travel doesn’t just fill your passport; it fills your heart. It’s about shared laughter, cheering each other on, and finding connection in the most unexpected places.

One traveler summed it up perfectly:

“This trip changed my life. I came for the destination but left with a sisterhood I didn’t know I needed.”
