TESTIMONIALS
This trip was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, run perfectly by Travel Girls Getaways!
Malawi Safari & Charity Trip September 2019
“This trip was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, run perfectly by Travel Girls Getaway! It’s always scary going to a new country and continent, let alone going with a group of girls you haven’t met. This group and this trip was incredible from start to finish.
Becky and Vanessa took the time to get to know each traveler and we felt like a group of close friends, not strangers who booked the same trip. The itinerary was perfect for my first time in Africa; we got to experience all aspects of Malawi. The community impact project was a truly meaningful and inspiration aspect of the trip, and I loved taking a break from touring to immerse ourselves in the culture and community.
The hotels and lodges were truly unique experiences on their own, and the homemade included meals were the cherry on top of the lodging. As a former tour guide, I’m extremely impressed by Travel Girls Getaway. The itinerary, local guides, tour hosts, food, sightseeing, community outreach, and everything in between was absolutely perfect! Make sure you bring a great camera, patience, and an open mind, and an unforgettable adventure awaits you in Malawi!”
Loved it so much I couldn’t resist booking again!
Bali Business & Blogging Retreats October 2017, Morocco Country Tour 2018
“In 2018, I attended my second Travel Girls Getaway with Becky in Morocco. My first experience with Travel Girls Getaways was their Bali retreat (October 2017), and I loved it so much I couldn’t resist booking again. Both destinations were so diverse, but Becky, Vanessa and Ryan had done such an amazing job meticulously planning every last detail to ensure we had an unforgettable experience. During the Bali trip, I learnt some new blogging and business skills to take away with me and met many wonderful friends, two of whom I’ve already met up and travelled with since the retreat. I also made some amazing connections with the ladies in Morocco and I hope to meet them somewhere around the world in the near future. I’m also looking to book a third getaway sometime in 2019 – possibly Austria or Malawi!”
Everything was planned to perfection!
Malawi Safari & Charity Trip September 2019
“This trip to Malawi was everything I imagined and so much more! Everything was planned to perfection! My favorite part of traveling is the chance to connect with new people and this trip provided that in a much grander way than I’ve ever experienced. From connecting with the amazing women on the trip to connecting with those in the communities of Malawi this is a trip I will never forget!”
The trip surpassed my expectations, opened my eyes to new experiences I never would’ve found or done on my own
Morocco Trip, November 2018
“I loved attending the Travel Girls Getaways to Morocco. It has always been a dream of mine to go to Morocco but I knew I wanted to go with a group that shared an authentic interest in exploring new places and that could guide me through the winding paths and unique culture of this country. I’m so glad I found Travel Girls Getaways! I loved meeting Becky and all the girls on the trip as well as getting to know our local guide. I appreciated the dedication to celebrating local co-ops & Moroccan women as well. The trip surpassed my expectations, opened my eyes to new experiences I never would’ve found or done on my own – and deepened my respect for the Moroccan handiwork, artisanry and culture. I’ve fallen in love with this country even more than I expected to, and I highly recommend Travel Girls Getaways to anyone looking to meet wonderful women or explore new places with an intentional itinerary.”

Becky was an incredible host and I would do another WATG trip simply because of how much I trust her integrity and transparency, meticulous attention to detail and quality, and fun positive energy to be around!
Morocco Trip, November 2018
“My WATG trip in Morocco was everything I wanted and more! From the moment I decided to go to my arrival in Marrakesh and my week hosted by Becky in partnership with Experience Morocco, everything was incredibly well-organized, transparent, and seamless. I loved all of the locations and activities, and I felt that we saw and did SO much with the week we had in Morocco. Becky was an incredible host and I would do another WATG trip simply because of how much I trust her integrity and transparency, meticulous attention to detail and quality, and fun positive energy to be around! Thank you WATG for an incredible experience in Morocco that I’ll never forget. I hope to join you again on another adventure soon!”

This trip was more than I ever expected – or had even hoped for!
Bali Business & Blogging Retreats October 2018
“I came to the 2018 Oct Bloggers retreat in Bali, and wow! This trip was more than I ever expected – or had even hoped for! I’ve never solo traveled before, so I was quite nervous going on a trip across the world, alone, with others I didn’t know… but this group, Becky – Hannah and Ryan (who helps in the background) made me feel so welcome I couldn’t of imagined meeting nicer people. The ladies that come on these retreats are amazing too, like minded women – looking to make connections, in beautiful places, and break through their own comfort zones too! I am very grateful to have taken part in this community and retreat, I look forward to going to Austria in March!”
There are no words to express just how incredible this Travel Girls Getaway was!
Bali Business & Blogging Retreats October 2018
“To say this trip was amazing would be an understatement. There are no words to express just how incredible this Travel Girls Getaway was! I feel so grateful to have had the opportunity to meet such inspiring, unique women, including Becky van Dijk, and to be a part of the amazing WATG community. The educational workshops blew me away and I was so impressed with not only the content, but the structure of the workshops as well. In just a week, I learned more than I could ever have imagined AND I was able to see and explore beautiful Bali, which has always been a dream of mine. I seriously can’t wait to go on another retreat with We Are Travel Girls!”
I love how they bring women, with a sense of wander, together to form a community while educating each other and creating an impact!
Bali Business & Blogging Retreats October 2018
“I am so thankful for We Are Travel Girls! I love how they bring women, with a sense of wander, together to form a community while educating each other and creating an impact. My favorite part of my Travel Girls Getaway was the connections I made with all of the girls. As someone who is working on becoming a full time travel blogger, most of my friends and family members don’t necessarily understand what I do or what I am striving for. It was a breath of fresh air to connect with like-minded women and form a tribe with them. It helped with my confidence and I no longer feel alone in my journey. I also enjoyed learning from Becky and am excited to start implementing the skills I gained on my retreat into my blogging business.”
I can’t wait for my next we are Travel Girls Getaway!
Bali Business & Blogging Retreats October 2018
“The trip far exceeded any expectations that I had! Aside from being incredibly knowledgeable, informative and supportive, the amount of care, attention to detail and thought Becky put into everything was truly special. I’m extremely grateful to have met so many great people and had such incredible experiences in such a short time. Thank you guys for everything and making me feel beyond comfortable in a new country with strangers (now family). You’re (Becky & Ryan) truly a power couple with the biggest hearts in the world – I can’t wait for my next we are travel girls getaway!!”
The best of Bali with an incredible group of girls!
Bali Blogging Retreats November 2017
“My favorite thing about the retreat in Bali was being able to take in a new culture and surrounding with girls that went from strangers to friends in a matter of minutes. Sharing travel experiences with good company that shares my passion for travel and exploration is such a special treat! Also, I had a monkey hang out on my shoulder! I took away friendships, a new found love for Bali and some great blogging tips and advice that will help me set and attain future goals and aspirations.”
A journey of self discovery
Bali Blogging Retreats November 2017
“My favorite part was exploring all the incredible scenery- beaches, waterfalls, and dining at the most magical places while making new soul connections. Being almost the oldest, I worried about fitting in, but each one of the girls were more than willing to support one another to make each of us have an incredible experience. Having amazing photographers/videographers @the_wanderinglens @katherine_wanders made the retreat extra special. They captured wonderful memories of this journey for me to treasure forever.”
Amazing friendships!
Bali Blogging Retreats October 2017
“My favorite part of the Bali Retreat was the AMAZINGLY DEEP friendships I made in such a short amount of time. I felt that we all represented the type of community I want to be a part of – authentic, driven, passionate woman. Not to mention, we were surrounded by breathtaking scenery and a rich culture. I’ve already expressed my interest in both the ski and surf retreats where I hope to reconnect with alumni and meet more wonderful women!”
Learned all about launching my brand!
Bali Blogging Retreats October 2017
“The founders of WATG, Becky Van Dijk and Vanessa Rivers, were outstanding and full of knowledge. They have connected us with like minded women from all over the world that I am so grateful for turning into long lasting friendships. I feel that this retreat really nailed down the specifics and details I was looking for in order to successfully launch a brand, providing methods and insight into the how-to’s of successful brand marketing, blogging and social media.”
Traveling with a special group of women!
Bali Blogging Retreats October 2017
“My favorite part about the retreat was getting to discover Bali with such a cool, ambitious, driven group of women! met some amazing women who I hope to stay connected with, I conquered fears and had adventures I will cherish forever! I also learned a lot about what I want to do with my blog and how to build my brand. I hope to stay an active member of the WATG community and can’t wait for more getaways and meet-ups!”
So many things I loved about the trip!
Bali Blogging Retreats October 2017
“There were many things I loved about the experience with WATG. Firstly, discovering beautiful places to see and places to eat with other like minded women who share in my thirst for adventure. Secondly, meeting women with ideologies and lifestyles outside of my realm of personal experiences. Thirdly, gaining valuable resources and exchanging ideas in workshops focused on improving entrepreneurial skills. Fourthly, immersing myself into a group of predominantly extroverted women when I myself am introverted, and to feel genuinely accepted and able to unabashedly be my most authentic self. Fifthly, networking on a personal and professional level in an organic, casual environment.”
