Travel the Worldwith Samantha

Join solo-traveler-friendly group trips hosted by Samantha — real connections, unforgettable destinations, and a community that feels like family. Small groups. Zero awkwardness. Big adventures.

Who am I?

Hi, I’m Samantha! I’m 26 and I’ve been traveling the world solo for the past 3 years to over 33 countries! I didn’t grow up traveling and had no idea where to even begin. After graduating from UNC Chapel Hill in 2022, I booked a one-way ticket, planning to explore for three months before starting a “real job”... spoiler alert I never stopped.

As I learned how to navigate solo travel on a budget, I kept meeting girls who wanted to do the same, but didn’t want to figure it all out alone. So I hosted one group trip. Then another. Now, over 320 women have joined me across 20 trips in 10 countries!! How cool is that!?

I created this community to make solo travel feel less intimidating and more empowering: with support, connection, and built-in friends from day one. If you’ve ever thought, “I want to go… but I don’t know who to go with or where to start” you’re in the right place. Let’s be friends!

    Would highly recommend the Peru trip and especially going with Samantha!! I went on this trip alone and you immediately get so close to everyone, it's great to make new friends from all over the world. Samantha is sooooo nice and fun, she makes sure everyone feels good. The activities on this trip were so great, everything was well planned! I had the best time!

    Samantha was an amazing person to have this experience with, she truly has a passion and care for what she does and that is reflected in her treatment of others, her professionalism and her outstanding kindness. I don’t think this experience would’ve been the same with someone else, I felt very safe and found Sam to be not only helpful but motivating in more ways than one.

    Joining this trip as a solo traveler was the best decision I’ve ever made! I was a little nervous at first, but Samantha created such a warm, welcoming environment that everyone bonded instantly. From exploring hidden gems to sharing late-night laughs over dinner, every single day was unforgettable. Sam handled every detail effortlessly, so all we had to do was show up and have fun. Can’t wait for my next adventure with her!

    I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better host than Sam. She brings so much positive energy, thoughtfulness, and genuine care to every part of the journey. You feel completely safe and supported the entire time, while still getting to experience the most incredible bucket-list adventures. I left with lifelong friendships and memories I’ll cherish forever. 10/10 recommend!

    Samantha goes above and beyond to make sure every single girl feels included, comfortable, and excited. The itinerary was the perfect mix of thrilling activities and relaxing downtime to soak it all in. If you're on the fence about going on a group trip by yourself, just book it! Sam makes solo travel feel completely effortless and so much fun.
