Thailand Wellness Tour

Hi and welcome.

I can't wait to be your host on our Wellness Thailand Tour.  After experiencing Thailand many times now and falling in love with the people & culture. I just can't wait to share the Land of Smiles with you.

A little bit about me:

I am the woman behind Wanderlust Solo Women Tours. I'm passionate about ensuring all my tours & retreats are fun filled and informative. 

I was inspired to encourage and facilitate women’s travel after my own trans-formative experiences whilst exploring the world solo, after a relationship break up and a total refocus on life. 

I hope to  infuse each tour & retreat with opportunity for women to try new things, push the boundaries of their comfort zones and see the beauty that the world has to offer all the while forming solid friendships with like-minded women.  

Building confidence & friendships through travel
