You can find international travel on the bucket lists of just about every inspired hard-working woman. This craving for culture, connection, and discovery is often stifled by the very real task of constantly trying to deliver at work and life’s demands, and the daunting task of planning the trip you hope for. These cravings for travel often go unsatisfied, but instead of putting these daydreams away on the “someday shelf,” what would it feel like to invest in your own success today?
Meridian Boutique Travel opens the door to an adventure of a lifetime, but it’s the like-minded travelers drawn to the experience that make our boutique group travel more than your ordinary pre-planned itinerary.
We want you to live in the moment— so we plan it all out for you.
We know we’re not alone when we say that we’ve spent hours day-dreaming about traveling the world, and wishing we didn’t have to show up for our day jobs. We’re the type who always have our passports ready, and consistently make the effort to speak the local language just to find the best local cuisine. We’re the ones who take two boats and a bus just because we really wanted that remote scuba lesson in South America. Can you relate??
We all have some flavor of adventurer living in our hearts, and we believe that small group travel is the key to unlocking your dreamiest travel experience. At the end of the day, a group trip takes the guesswork out of planning, and affords you the freedom to be fully present in the experience.
Show up and embrace the unexpected.
As ambitious women, we all spend much of our daily lives catering to the needs of others. At the office, it may be demanding customers, while at home the tone changes with a whine, calling for “mom” or “honey.” Boutique group travel creates the opportunity to shrug off these layers and uncover a deeper awareness, and connection to self.
International travel especially can open doors for new perspectives about yourself. From proving to yourself how capable you are in a foreign environment, to making new friends, enjoying rest, and playing to your heart’s content, without the pressure of meeting others’ needs first. It’s getting to know the woman underneath it all again.
Become yourself in a way that the daily grind does not afford. Let us help you turn your daydream into reality.
Expand your network of passionate hard-working women.
Our experiences are carefully curated, and when you show up open-minded, the possibilities are endless. Ambitious, hard working women are inspired by others just like them, and small group travel opens the door to an international adventure that interweaves friendship with a network-building opportunity.
Immersing in food, language and the natural world is only one facet of group travel’s power. The true magic lies in the women committed to their own growth and self expression. The ones who change the narrative and join forces with other like-minded women. When women support women, incredible things happen, and Meridian Boutique Travel’s adventures are nothing short of transformative.
Ultimately, the decision to prioritize you, your goals, and desires, in your hands. Are you ready to commit to opening your mind, heart and soul to the international adventure of a lifetime, and the magic of passionate, creative, hard-working women coming together? Well, come on in, the water feels great.
