The Ultimate Travel Club For Women Is Calling…
Wanderful is all about helping women connect, travel smarter, and thriveโwhether youโre a novice solo traveler, a passionate globetrotter, a content creator, or building a business in travel.
My first experiences with Wanderful members were from attending the Women In Travel Summit (WITS) in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 2024. I attended to meet other creators, be inspired, and get some momentum with my blog. I got so much more, including a newfound confidence, a lot of new friends, and a fun, supportive community. I joined Wanderful as soon as I got home. There are 3 membership levels:
Traveler Membership โ If you would love to meet other solo travelers, go on group trips, and get tons of travel resources, this will likely be the best membership for you. There are dozens of local hubs that you’ll be able to tap into for in-person connections worldwide while you travel. With this membership, you can also join trips that are organised every year and attend global meetups. Whether itโs a city meetup or an Antarctica expedition, Wanderful members are always on the moveโtogether.
Creator Membership โ As the team behind the WITS Creator Summit and the Bessie Awards, youโll love the coaching, mastermind circles, and opportunities to help you grow if youโre a blogger, vlogger, or travel creator. This is the membership level that I am at.
Entrepreneur Membership โ If you are a creator or entrepreneur building a business in travel, who is taking your earning game seriously, then this may be the best option for you. It’s not just about networking – Itโs about growing real, sustainable businesses while driving income and making industry-changing connections. Wanderful is changing the game.
