The Travel Women is a community for women by women to help you travel more, for less.
Hi, I’m Jen and I love helping people travel more, for less. I share my real experiences traveling both solo and with others so you can make your first trip or zillionth trip cheaper and more fun. While many bloggers or influencers take a majority of trips they are given for free or paid to share, I pride myself on paying for 90% of my travels myself and being very transparent when I work with a partner. I only work with partners that are on-brand and I would recommend no matter what! I do not accept free stuff in my mailbox and I am purposeful with what I share to make sure I am as helpful as possible to the environment, other women and YOU!
I started my career at a travel magazine and even worked at an agency managing influencers with millions of followers. Some people call me an “influencer” because I have over 100K followers on Instagram or 20K subscribers on YouTube, but everyone is always shocked to find out how real I am both on camera and off. “You’re actually so energetic and outgoing in person,” people always say to me, shocked that I am not different from my social presence. Now I see too many people creating separate personalities on social media or their blogs and I’m not about that. I hope that this collection of my experiences and tips on how to make a specific trip happen will help you live a better life traveling more, for less money!
If you still want to know more about me, I thought I’d share some random facts so you can get to know me, but enough about me, I want this about page to be more about you! Please comment below to start the conversation: what stories do you want to read next? What would you like to learn? How can I help you travel more? Save more money? Make the most out of your vacation days?
We believe as travelers we have a responsibility to not take but give back to the environment and locals we visit.
We are always looking for talented writers and creators feel free to share your pitch ideas HERE.
We have partnered with a variety of clients from Tourism boards to Canon. If you’re interested in working together, please reach out HERE.
