Frequently Asked Questions
I'm coming alone. Will I fit in?
This is the number one question I get, and the answer is almost always yes.
Most women book their first Say Yes trip without knowing anyone else in the group. That's actually one of the things that makes these trips so special. By the end of the week, it's hard to remember who arrived as strangers.
I intentionally keep my groups small because real friendships happen over shared meals, slow mornings, long walks, and conversations that have room to grow.
You won't be the odd one out. You already belong.
What kind of women join Say Yes trips?
Women from all walks of life.
Some are in their 30s. Others are in their 60s. Some are seasoned travelers. Others are taking their very first international trip. Some are outgoing, while others are a little quieter until they feel comfortable.
What connects the women on a Say Yes trip isn't their age, career, relationship status, or life story.
It's a shared desire for meaningful travel, genuine connection, and the belief that life is better when we experience it together.
If that sounds like you, you'll fit right in.
What is the group atmosphere like?
This is one of the things I'm most intentional about.
Every Say Yes trip is built on kindness, curiosity, and belonging.
You'll be traveling with women who have different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, and that's one of the best parts of these trips. We learn from one another, celebrate one another, and leave room for everyone to simply be themselves.
For one week, we choose connection over division.
Instead of debating the world's biggest issues, we spend our energy watching sunsets, wandering bookstores, trying incredible food, laughing over dinner, and making memories together.
It's amazing how quickly strangers become lifelong friends when everyone feels welcomed.
What if I'm not the fastest hiker or the most adventurous traveler?
Perfect.
These trips aren't a competition.
Some women hike quickly. Others stop to admire every view or photograph every flower. Some love adventurous activities, while others are happiest wandering a local market or lingering over coffee.
There's room for all of it.
Every itinerary includes activity details before you book, so you'll know what to expect. And when we're together, we travel with the group in mind—not just the fastest person.
No one should ever feel like they have to earn their place on a Say Yes trip.
What if someone says or does something that makes me uncomfortable?
Please tell me.
One of my most important responsibilities as your host is protecting the atmosphere of every Say Yes trip.
If someone says or does something that makes you feel uncomfortable, unseen, or excluded, come talk to me privately.
I'll handle it thoughtfully, respectfully, and discreetly. My goal is to create an environment where every woman feels safe, welcomed, and able to fully enjoy the experience.
You never have to navigate those moments alone.
Do I need to know someone before booking?
Not at all.
In fact, most women don't.
Many guests tell me they almost didn't book because they were nervous about coming alone. Nearly all of them leave saying they're so glad they did.
Some even book their next trip together before they head home.
What if I need some alone time?
Please take it.
While we spend a lot of time together, these trips aren't about being "on" all day.
Want to sleep in one morning? Read your book by the pool instead of joining an optional activity? Take a quiet walk before dinner?
Go for it.
This is your vacation, too. You're always encouraged to honor what you need.
How active are the trips?
Every itinerary is different, and I include activity information on each trip page so you know exactly what to expect before booking.
Some trips include hikes or adventure activities. Others focus more on culture, food, photography, or leisurely exploring.
No matter where we're headed, the goal is never to rush from one attraction to the next.
I'd rather experience fewer things well than race through a checklist.
Why are your groups so small?
Because connection is the entire point.
When there are only a handful of women around the dinner table, everyone gets a chance to be known.
Small groups allow for flexibility, meaningful conversations, thoughtful experiences, and the kind of friendships that simply don't happen in a group of fifty people.
It's one of the biggest reasons Say Yes feels different.
