About Slow Travel Co.

Every day, thousands of women make the decision not to take the trip, instead waiting for someone to travel with them.

But guess what.

According to studies, up to
49% of them never take the trip. 

At Slow Travel Co., we curate retreats designed exclusively for women seeking meaningful connection and mindful exploration. Don’t wait until your friends can travel. Travel with us and make long-lasting friendships in our new group travel format.

From reading retreats specifically curated for the book lover to slow travel retreats with flexible schedules, we have the right group trip for you. Travel solo, with a friend, sister, or with your entire book club. Just make sure you travel. Book the trip today! 

What We Do

We make it easy for women to travel when and how they want.
No waiting. No compromises.

At Slow Travel Co., we understand what it’s like to want to travel when no one else is available. We understand that higher costs for solo female travelers, safety considerations, and the fear of loneliness makes it hard to do on your own. We’ve been there! But wait no longer because WE want to travel with you!

We’re passionate about getting YOU on a vacation of your dreams.

Why Group Travel? 

Some of the most meaningful moments happen in unexpected conversations with fellow travelers:

“Oh, you’re a solo female traveler too? Where have you been?”
“What was the highlight of your trip?”
“Any advice for Morocco? Want to grab dinner later?”
“Want to go to Africa next month?”

When women connect through shared experience, adventure, and curiosity, the possibilities are endless. That’s what we’re here to create. A community of women supporting each other through travel.

The Slow Travel Co. Way

Our guiding principles shape everything we do:

Woman traveling in airport

Empower & support female travelers in their goal to see the world.

Women running into the ocean

Foster community so

women can travel solo, but never feel alone

Celebrate the joy of

slow travel (and reading,

of course!)

We believe every woman deserves the gift of travel, and we’re here to help make it happen.

Empowering women to travel on their own terms

At Slow Travel Co., we’re a female-owned and operated small business helping women of all ages explore the world in a slower, more intentional way.

Our founder, Kayla Janachovsky, is a lifelong solo traveler who has visited all seven continents and more than 22 countries on her own. But even with years of experience navigating the globe solo, she’s just as passionate about group travel.

“I find so much more meaning and a sense of pride when I’m able to do it on my own. But I also believe in the magic of connection. No matter how independent or introverted we are, there’s something special about finding like-minded people to share the journey with.”

– Kayla

That’s the spirit of Slow Travel Co. Traveling solo, but never alone.
