It Started With A Photo

In January 2018, I came across photos of Lori Harvey’s birthday trip to the Bahamas, women on the beach, laughing in matching sun hats. That image of friendship, fun, and shared adventure sparked something in me.


I posted a simple question on Twitter





To my surprise, 16 women from across South Africa: Johannesburg, Cape Town, East London, and Durban - said yes to traveling with people they’d never met. That weekend became the first Chica Travel group trip, and the start of something far bigger than I ever imagined.

Chica Travel Group Trips

Building Connections Through Travel.


I created these trips because I get it - you want to travel, but your friends have different schedules, budgets, or priorities. Between work, family, and life’s demands, planning a trip together can feel impossible.


Chica Travel group trips solve this. You get to explore breathtaking destinations with women who share your love for adventure. Many arrive as strangers and leave with lifelong friendships that go beyond the trip itself.


I’ve watched women who met on my trips plan their own travels together. These connections are what make Chica Travel special - it’s not just about the destinations, but the friendships formed along the way.







The Chica Travel Experience:


Every trip is thoughtfully curated to balance structure with spontaneity. Whether it’s a sunset dhow cruise in Lamu or snorkelling in Phuket’s crystal-clear waters, each experience is designed to be unforgettable.

A Spontaneous Idea

What started as a spontaneous idea inspired by a tweet has evolved into a movement of women exploring new places, building connections, and creating unforgettable memories.


Each trip is limited to a small group (up to 10 travellers) to ensure a personal, intimate experience where everyone can truly connect and have fun.
