We have exciting news! With growing demand from our loyal guests and an ever-expanding community of travelers eager to explore with us, we are delighted to announce the arrival of new inspiring hosts and new destinations.
If you are an expert in your field and would like to host or co-lead a tour, we would love to hear from you.
I was raised in a bilingual French–British family in the South of France, where curiosity and travel were part of everyday life. From an early age, I developed a deep appreciation for discovering new cultures and horizons.
Before entering the travel industry, I worked as a nurse. Caring for others has always been at the heart of who I am. It was during a year-long journey around the world that I came to a simple but powerful realization: travel is the best medicine.
In 2024, I took over Absolutely and continued to grow this 15-year-old travel agency, with a clear mission: to create meaningful, small-group journeys for women, by women.
Being locally based allows me to work closely with professional partners we have grown to love. I deeply believe in the power of travel to inspire, nourish the soul, and bring inspiring women together.
Take a break. Travel with us.
