Founded by Kelly Lewis in 2013 and acquired by Alexandra Jimenez of Travel Fashion Girl in 2023, Women’s Travel Fest is the longest-running travel conference created by and for women.
With over a decade of community trust and influence, Women’s Travel Fest is more than a conference; it’s a weekend built to empower, connect, and inspire women through the world of travel.
Over the years, thousands of women have gathered to share stories, form friendships, and grow in confidence through travel. From its first edition to its most recent gathering in Playa del Carmen in 2024, Women’s Travel Fest has evolved into a retreat‑like experience where curated talks, hands-on workshops, meaningful connections and mindful design come together.
As the new steward of this brand, Alexandra is committed to preserving its mission of inclusion, connection and empowerment and readying it for its next chapter. She brought more than a decade of experience as the founder of Travel Fashion Girl, a pioneering brand that has empowered millions of women to pack smarter and travel lighter.
As a longtime traveler, Alexandra knows firsthand how life-changing travel can be because it changed hers. From her earliest backpacking days to becoming a leading voice in the travel industry, she’s lived the truth that travel isn’t just about where you go it’s about who you become.
In 2024, she reimagined the conference into something deeply intentional and nourishing: a soulful gathering of women ready to explore not just the world, but themselves. Her vision? To build on the brand’s legacy while evolving it into something more elevated, more inclusive, and more aligned with the personal transformation that travel makes possible.
Whether you’re a first-time traveler or a seasoned explorer, whether you come solo or with friends, Women’s Travel Fest is an open door to the next version of you. Here, conversations go deeper than logistics and bucket lists; they venture into identity, empowerment, freedom, and belonging.
So if you’re craving meaningful travel, authentic connection, and a weekend that leaves you full of courage and community this is where your journey begins.
