Mai Journeys is a women’s travel community that organises small-group trips, hosted journeys, retreats, escapes and workshops for women who want to explore the world safely, in the company of like-minded female travellers.

It exists for one simple reason: travelling well can be hard to do alone.
Finding the right people, the right places, and the confidence to say yes to something new isn’t always easy, and that’s the gap Mai Journeys was built to close. We create safe, welcoming spaces where women can see the world, meet other adventurous spirits, and be introduced to the people and cultures that make travel unforgettable.

Mai Journeys is for women who are curious about other cultures, keen to learn something new, and looking to connect with people who genuinely understand why travel matters — whether that’s a first-time solo traveller or a seasoned adventurer looking for her next tribe.

Just think Tribe, Trust, Self, Nature, Curiosity, Art, and Community – pick any of these and we can attribute them to what we are aiming for with Mai Journeys.

I learned early in my travel career that when women from all walks of life come together, something extraordinary happens — real bonds form, fast. That discovery became the foundation of everything we do, and of what I think of as our Pillars of Connection: Tribe, Trust, Self, Nature, Curiosity, Art, and Community. Every trip we design traces back to one or more of these pillars, and everyone loves a good pillar — they’ve been holding things up for eons, after all.

At the heart of what we offer are our Hosted Journeys: immersive group trips for women, built around aesthetic beauty, cultural immersion, delicious food, and genuinely intimate encounters with the places we visit.
Alongside these, our Escapes, Retreats and Workshops give travellers dedicated time with other curious minds — both fellow guests and the inspiring local collaborators we work with along the way — designed to help you learn a new skill, slow down, and reconnect with yourself.

Over the years, Mai Journeys has grown into a genuine community, one full of friendships and supportive relationships that were forged simply by experiencing new environments together. That’s what happens when women travel together and share completely new experiences side by side.

Travel has always been my greatest teacher. It calms me and unsettles me in equal measure. It shows me who I am, pushes at the edges of what I think I know, and stirs up more emotions than I know what to do with. It slows me down and speeds me up. It nourishes me and makes me breathe deeper than anything else in my life. Quite simply, it makes me feel alive — and that’s what I hope every Mai Journeys trip gives you too.

So again, welcome to Mai Journeys, a travel community built for women, by women. We are really looking forward to seeing our fabulous past guests again, and to meeting those of you joining us for the first time, somewhere fabulously amazing.

Until then.
