Calling All Foodie Travelers!


I'm taking a small group of women (I call this "Soul Sisters Travel") to Portugal this July … and I want you to join us!

I've traveled a lot of places. I've eaten my way through a lot of countries. And Portugal is one of those places that made me stop and think, I need to bring people here.

The food. The tile work on buildings that are hundreds of years old. Beaches backed by cliffs that look like they were carved by someone who really knew what they were doing.

It's one of the most beautiful countries I've ever seen, and it's wildly underrated.If you've been waiting for a sign to finally book the trip you keep thinking about, this might be it.

Picture this… You land in Porto and the first thing you see is a row of colorful buildings stacked along the river, and someone hands you a glass of port wine. That's a pretty good day one.

This is a seven-day trip, July 10–17. We'll explore Porto, Lisbon, Sintra, and the Algarve. Cobblestone streets, incredible food, centuries-old tile work, golden beaches, and cliffs that will make your camera roll very, very full.

I've been working on this itinerary for a while and I'm SO excited about how it came together.

Why we do it I created Soul Sisters trips because I kept hearing the same thing from women: I want to travel, but...But I don't want to go alone. But I don't know how to plan it. But I've never traveled internationally and I'm nervous. I heard every version of that sentence. And I get it.So we do ALL the planning. The hotels, the restaurants, the activities, the logistics. You just show up. That's it. You show up, and we handle the rest.

Who it's for You love beautiful places. You love great food. You like the idea of sitting at a long table with other interesting women and actually talking to each other instead of staring at your phones.

It’s not about luxury for luxury’s sake. It’s about curated, intentional experiences. You don't have to come with a friend. A lot of women come solo and leave with friendships that last way beyond the trip. This isn't luxury for the sake of luxury. Every single experience on this itinerary was chosen because I think it's something you'll actually remember ten years from now.

Ballpark cost The trip is $3,545 with early bird pricing and does not include airfare. That covers accommodations, activities, guides, several meals, transportation within Portugal, and our styled photoshoot experience.(Yes, there is a photoshoot. You're going to love it.)

Is it for a certain type of traveler? Yes, and I want to be upfront about that.

This trip is for women who'd pick a boutique hotel over a big resort. Cultural experiences over cruise-style tourism. Real conversation over nightlife. If you love good wine, walking through streets that are older than your entire country, trying food you can't get at home, and spending time with women who are genuinely interesting, you're going to love this. If you're looking for a party trip, this probably isn't your thing. And that's okay.

Limited space We keep these trips small on purpose. Typically 10–14 women max. That's what keeps it personal, keeps the energy right, and keeps everything running smoothly.Once spots are full, they're gone.

Will there be more trips in the future? Possibly. But I never guarantee repeat destinations. I plan trips based on what feels right and where there's real interest. If Portugal fills up fast and demand is strong, I might bring it back. But I don't want to repeat a trip just to repeat it. I want every single one to feel like the only one.

Waiting list Here's the thing. There's already a waiting list. Before we even officially launched, women from past trips and our community asked to be notified first.

If you're even a little interested then fill out the survey below and see if you're destined to join us on a Soul Sisters Trip!

Tchau, linda!
