(Sponsored feature) 

Join Girls’ Guide to the World as they embark on a year full of truly magical once-in-a-lifetime journeys that will light a fire in your very soul. This women-owned venture is proudly featured in our ​Women’s Travel Directory​ and was founded on the magic that happens when a close-knit group of women explore places brimming with beauty and culture. The stories, dreams, heartaches, laughter, and discoveries all come together to create lasting connections. Its a completely different experience than going by yourself, with your family, or on a large packaged group trip.
