Wanderful is a community for women who love to travel. Our global sisterhood joins together both online and in person with the same goal in mind: We are women helping women travel the world.
Wanderful was built on the idea that women are each other’s greatest asset. When we support each other, we create a community of encouragement and growth potential that has no limit.
Maybe you’re still searching for your own travel community or maybe you’re just wondering whether or not to become a member of Wanderful.
We asked our members about their favorite benefits, so we thought you might like to know what makes this women’s travel community so fabulous.

When we support each other, we create a community of encouragement and growth potential that has no limit.
It is quite cool really that there are women supporting each other in the travel industry. I’m quite ok with travel by myself, this was how I started. Today I have my partner with me. But along the way, I met a lot of women that were scared to travel by themselves, or simply didn’t know where to start.
Well done for creating this and encouraging more travel, is a really fun way to grow as a person.
