ABOUT WOMEN’S TRAVEL FEST

In 2013, Kelly Lewis was on a cross-country book tour with her company, Go! Girl Guides, speaking about travel to audiences that were almost always women. The energy in those talks was contagious and undeniable. She knew she wanted to reach more traveling women and grow a community that otherwise did not exist.

In 2023, Women’s Travel Fest was acquired by Alexandra Jimenez, founder of Travel Fashion Girl. Like many attendees, Women’s Travel Fest changed her life. As a past keynote speaker, the conference instilled her with the inspiration to lead and become a role model for fellow travelers.

With the transfer of ownership, the conference embarks on a new path inspired by Kelly’s original goal: to unite and empower women through travel.

ABOUT WOMEN’S TRAVEL FEST

In 2013, Kelly Lewis was on a cross-country book tour with her company, Go! Girl Guides, speaking about travel to audiences that were almost always women. The energy in those talks was contagious and undeniable. She knew she wanted to reach more traveling women and grow a community that otherwise did not exist.

While living in New York City later that year, she shared her idea for a conference with Masha Vapnitchnaia and Mickela Mallozzi and the conversation lit the fire in everyone!

For the following decade, Kelly Lewis, Mickela Mallozzi, and a team of volunteers and sponsors produced the transformative event, Women’s Travel Fest, which has helped thousands of travelers across the world.

In 2023, Women’s Travel Fest was purchased by Alexandra Jimenez, founder of Travel Fashion Girl. Like many attendees, Women’s Travel Fest changed her life. As a past keynote speaker, the conference instilled her with the inspiration to lead and become a role model for fellow travelers.

With the transfer of ownership, the conference embarks on a new path inspired by Kelly’s original goal: to unite and empower women through travel.

THE NEXT EVENT TAKES PLACE ON  FEBRUARY 16-19, 2024 AND WILL BRING FORTH A FRESH VISION OF THE CONFERENCE  as attendees will be brought together on a retreat-like experience aiming to achieve connection with others and within.

DISCOVER COMMUNITY, CONNECTION AND EMPOWERMENT through carefully curated talks, workshops, and mindful practices. Women’s Travel Fest moves forward in its next chapter, not just as a conference, but as a transformative experience.
