Boutique travel designed by women for women

Travelling Divas was founded by Andrea Powis, a passionate traveller whose personal journey led her to create something truly unique in the travel world. The concept was born not out of market research or business theory, but from Andrea’s lived experience. In her mid-30s she suddenly found herself single, a life shift that came as a shock. While she was confident and experienced as both a solo and couple traveller, she realised that something vital was missing: the simple joy of sharing travel with others.

Her friends, though supportive, were at different stages in their lives—raising families, working demanding jobs, or otherwise unable to travel when Andrea could. Solo travel was the natural solution, but even for someone as independent as Andrea, it wasn’t always fulfilling. She missed the conversations at the end of a long day of exploring. She missed sitting down over dinner, laughing, reflecting, and swapping stories. These connections had always been a cherished ritual, and without them, travel somehow felt incomplete.

This longing for shared experiences became the seed for Travelling Divas. Andrea wanted to create opportunities for women to travel together, enjoying both the freedom of independent exploration and the camaraderie of a small, like-minded group. She envisioned trips that were luxurious, but never stuffy; adventurous, but always comfortable; immersive, but still relaxing. Above all, she wanted to build journeys where the magic of a destination was matched by the magic of companionship.

From that vision, Travelling Divas has grown into a specialist in small-group luxury tours designed exclusively for women. These journeys are about much more than sightseeing. They are about connection—both with the destination and with fellow travellers who share a love of discovery. Andrea understands that while it is easy enough to book flights, hotels, or even entire tours online, what can’t be booked so easily is the intangible: the warmth of friendship, the spark of laughter over a shared meal, or the confidence of knowing you’re in safe and supportive company.

Each Travelling Divas journey is carefully curated to balance cultural immersion with comfort and style. Women are invited to dive into authentic local experiences, from exploring vibrant neighbourhoods to discovering hidden gems that larger group tours often miss. At the same time, the itineraries allow space for rest, reflection, and indulgence. Whether it is sipping wine at a boutique vineyard, shopping with a local guide in a bustling market, or relaxing in a luxury spa, the philosophy is simple: every moment should be both enriching and enjoyable.

The small group format is central to this approach. Travelling Divas keeps group sizes intimate, ensuring that each woman has the opportunity to bond with others while still feeling free to carve out her own path. This creates an environment where friendships blossom naturally. Many past travellers talk about the lifelong connections they have formed—relationships that endure long after the plane lands back home.

What also sets Travelling Divas apart is Andrea’s personal touch. Because the company was founded from her own experiences and values, authenticity runs through everything it does. She knows firsthand the courage it can take for a woman to travel alone, and she knows the profound joy that comes when those travels are shared. Andrea’s role is not just that of a tour organiser but of a host, a companion, and often a friend.

The ethos of Travelling Divas is perhaps best summed up in the idea that travel should never be about ticking boxes or following a script. Instead, it should be about stories—stories told over dinner, stories created through adventure, and stories carried home as cherished memories. By offering women a space to explore the world and themselves at the same time, Travelling Divas has created something more than just a travel company. It has created a community.

Today, Travelling Divas continues to welcome women from all walks of life—those who are single, those whose partners don’t share the same wanderlust, and those who simply want the company of like-minded travellers. What unites them is not their circumstances but their shared desire to see the world with open eyes and open hearts. With Andrea’s vision as the guide, each trip is a reminder that the world is full of beauty, and that beauty is best savoured together.
