Benefits of Traveling With Us

Here are just a few of the reasons you'll love being a Travel Passionista...

Custom-Curated & Intimate

Linda Beach, our founder and passionate guide, has personally explored each destination, accommodation, tour and restaurant. Because of her meticulous attention to detail, you can rest assured your experience will be unforgettable and filled with delightful surprises! Our groups are small (typically 8-12) and designed so you can just sit back and enjoy the freedom of having someone else handle all the details.

Empowering & Transformative

We believe in the transformative power of travel. Our journeys go beyond traditional tourism, offering women a unique blend of adventure, community, and self-discovery. Through immersive experiences and genuine connections, women not only explore new destinations but also uncover newfound confidence, creating lasting memories and a lifelong love for exploration.

Inclusive & Oh so fun!

We are a vibrant community of like-minded women who share a passion for adventure and connection. Through pre-trip virtual events, private groups, and regular communication, we create an environment where friendships flourish, creating memories that extend well beyond the journey itself. Inclusivity is a core value, welcoming women of all backgrounds and ages to join in the fun.

Our Founder, Linda Beach

Flashback to 2015 and I was working about 70 hours a week, rebuilding my business after devastating losses during the recession. I was tired. Really, really tired. I felt like every day was copied and pasted from the day before. I didn’t have time for a social life, let alone any travel whatsoever.

Each night as I drifted off to sleep, I imagined myself exploring castles in France. Or sailing through the Greek islands. Or finally eating my way from the north of Italy to the south!

Then one day I made a decision that would change my entire life...

Love From Our Guests

Don't just take our word for it. Our Travel Passionistas absolutely love our adventures! 💖

Joyce Hague

I attended the Footloose and Fancy-Free retreat in 2023 and it was a life-changing adventure for me. We visited so many amazing places but I loved the cooking classes the most (even though I don’t even like to cook) because they introduced me to the authenticity of Italian cuisine. We all laughed so much, which made it extra fun! I left Italy feeling refreshed, inspired, and on top of that, I made new friends for life!

Susie Goodwin

I’ve had the pleasure of attending three Travel Passionista journeys now and they were all truly remarkable! They offered a perfect balance of culture, history, sightseeing and amazing food. Linda is a fun, knowledgeable and organized guide. Every adventure was life-changing for me and I am immensely grateful to Linda for the wonderful experiences she created for me and the other guests.

Donna Martindale

I've attended two Travel Passionista trips and was blown away by the attention to detail. The tours, food and wine tastings were absolutely wonderful and there were countless unexpected surprises. We laughed the entire time and now I have so many great stories to share. The friendships I made will last a lifetime (along with the magical memories). I’m already packing for the next adventure!
