Ladies Who Travel Avis 

Ladies who travel, Thank you. I’m just home from Japan with LWT, wow. I had an amazing experience. What an itinerary! Shareen always makes her trips so special. I went not knowing a soul and returned with such special bonds with all the ladies on this trip. Japan was my second trip, I did Finland in January and still have Madeira Thailand and Borneo this year. Thank you shareen for opening my world x you are a true inspiration.

I went on my first trip in May 2024 to Morocco, when the group was still more of a Facebook-based community that Shareen had originally started to find people to travel with her.

Since then, I’ve seen her recognise the opportunity, quickly professionalise the operation, become regulated, and grow it into a thriving business. The growth has been impressive, which reflects how strong and in-demand this niche really is.

Like any fast-growing business, there have been some growing pains along the way. However, what stands out is Shareen’s clear commitment to her core mission: taking women abroad—many for the very first time. A large proportion of travellers are aged 40–70, a demographic she herself is part of (we’re actually the same age), which I think helps her truly understand the needs of the group. Of course, there are some age variations, but this is generally the core audience I’ve observed.

Her business model simply wouldn’t work if people didn’t have a great experience and want to book again—and in my experience, she genuinely does care about that. The sheer number of trips now offered shows how well this is working.

Travel, especially international group travel, is never completely without hiccups. There are many moving parts, and not everyone on a trip has the same level of travel experience—some women need more support than others. At the same time, many travellers are repeat customers who have formed friendships, which creates a really nice dynamic within the group. I have shared a room with the same lady on 3 occasions now who I met thru LWT.

If you’re considering joining, my advice would be to go for it and try a trip for yourself. Be open-minded and prepared to navigate the occasional bump—it’s part of the adventure.

For me, it’s been genuinely life-changing. Since that first trip, I’ve travelled to Morocco, Iceland, Thailand, Panama, Cambodia, and Croatia. I’m also heading to Amsterdam this month to see the tulips with LWT and a Croatia sailing experience in August (second time).

This is my 5th holiday with this company . 3 in wales, Madeira and now pushed me further out of my comfort zone in Japan. Once again travelling with 15 strangers who have become friends. If you want to push yourself, be just you for a time and be inspired by other women who have done the same take the leap and book a trip. I can honestly say this group have lifted my spirits I feel stronger and more confident than ever before.

Came from the U.S. for a quick 4 night Amsterdam trip- Fantastic experience! Marianne did exceptional with the 20 women- She made sure everyone was comfortable and taken care of during the time there. We cruised the canals, enjoyed the flowers of the Keukenhof garden, Amsterdam Royal Palace, Jewish Quarter and of course the Anne Frank house! ( some extras were the Heineken Experience, local markets and even running into the filming of one of Brad Pitt’s movies). Thanks Shareen - Can’t wait until the next adventure!

Fantastic trip to Amsterdam, made some friends for life with some amazing ladies and Marianne our host was an absolute delight, hotel was beautiful and tours were perfect and well planned. Highly recommend

I have done three trips with Ladies Who Travel one in the Peak District at Shoreditch Farm to meet Shareen and get a feel for the group. Having had a fantastic time on the UK trip I then decided to explore further a field choosing Thailand and then Bali. I can honestly say I have had the best time of my life so far in Asia. Shareen is a kind and caring lady who puts everyone’s needs first to ensure you have the experience of a lifetime. Both trips were planned meticulously with a mixture of adventure, excitement and also spiritual calmness. I can honestly say joining this wonderful group is the best decision I have ever made meeting likeminded ladies who want to see the world. Embrace every opportunity join in and make new friends you will not regret it. Thankyou Shareen ❤️ xxx

I have been a member from early on and was apprehensive about joining in. A cancellation came up for a weekend in Laugharne and I had the best time. Surrounded by like minded ladies it was amazing and can’t believe it took me so long to join in. I’ve always found everyone friendly and welcoming. Beach walks and dinners followed and met new people every time and got to know others better. Bali was a revelation to me, I could never have imagined doing this on my own. Shareen was so supportive and I was pushed well and truly out of my comfort zone but in a good way. Done some amazing things like swimming with whale sharks and manta rays, which was truly incredible. Stayed in some great hotels and one night in a hostel which was more than we could ever have expected. Had the best adventures and made great friends. Croatia island hopping last August was more than I could have imagined too. Great people, full itinerary, time to relax, have fun and all done for you. Honestly Shareen and her daughters are experts in planning these holidays and always make you feel welcome, it takes out the stress of planning it yourself. I should have been in Jordan this week but Mr Trump stopped that. I will go again with LWT when things are safe again. Next month North Wales with a friend I have recruited to join and looking forward to meeting more people, trying something new white water rafting and kayaking over the aqueduct and making more memories. My family and friends can’t believe I’m doing these holidays and are amazed and pleased for me. My confidence has grown so much. I just want to do more and looking forward to what Shareen plans next 🙏☺️

I have just returned from my 3rd trip with Ladies Who Travel. Amsterdam was absolutely fantastic and Marianne our host was outstanding. I have made some life Long friendships that will take me through life. I have been to Bali with Shareen last year and the trip was outstanding. I have found Shareen to be very supportive and professional and would highly recommend any ladies to join “Ladies Who Travel” it has completely, changed my life 😀😀

Fantastic experience with Ladies who Travel. I’ve been on a few trips, in the UK as well as further afield, always great fun with a warm welcoming group of ladies. Shareen puts a huge effort into the itinerary and making sure everything runs smoothly. She’s great at checking in with the ladies, especially first timers to ensure they feel at ease. Highly recommend this group and excited for my next trip with them this summer.

I am currently looking forward to my 4th international trip with LWT. I have also been on a weekend away in Wales and day meet ups. I joined originally as my family and friends didn’t have the same interest to travel and less sense of adventure. I didn’t want to continue procrastinating so put my ‘big girl pants’ on and booked to go to Morocco which was the first international trip ran by the group in May 2024. It really was wow! The thought and organisation that had gone into it was immense. I had no hesitation in booking again and have thoroughly enjoyed every trip. Shareen and her daughters are very welcoming. I have always felt included as part of the group and felt relaxed in their company. The group is supportive forming a whatsapp group for forthcoming events to discuss packing, currency, phone sims etc.
Like many others I was apprehensive about meeting other women and sharing a room with a ‘stranger’. However I have got to know several women that have been on the same trips so our get togethers have been like therapy!
I do believe that the group and the events has brought me so many positives to my life for which I’m extremely grateful for LWT! Thank you 💞 xx

I started out with the group when the numbers were small. Visited and travelled with many since.
Nothing I love more than an afternoon tea, a good long walk, a swim.
People aren't my thing in general but especially now because of the extreme menopause I suffer. I nevertheless joined the group to challenge that behaviour. And I am delighted that I did.
Walked Chamonix, swam in Croatian waters, kayaked in Hay-on-Wye... among other things.
I get to do me, be me ... inserting myself, taking time out (from the shoppers 🤣) enjoying lush food.
I am grateful to Shareen for creating the group. Giving people like me an escape from the clutches of menopause despair. I have found her respectful of individual needs, available for a whine, supportive of a tear.
Of course people will form bonds of familiarity and it's inevitable that some will feel excluded because of that familiarity but I want to encourage everyone to set aside their resistance to embrace the experience. Insert yourself. The women on the tours are genuinely interested in you, your journey, having fun and enjoying a respite from everyday woes.
The secret to success is grabbing the bull and taking it for a run.

Recently returned from Vietnam (my third international trip) with Ladies Who Travel, having previously travelled to Thailand and Croatia with them last year. Had an amazing holiday with a fabulous, inspiring group of ladies. The trips are extremely well planned with great experiences for all to enjoy, including things I’d never do if planning myself! I love the fact that these amazing trips with Shareen are available and you literally jump in and get involved. I would not hesitate to recommend LWT and especially Shareen who really cares that everyone enjoys themselves and gets the most from their holiday. In fact roll on October for my next trip with LWT!

I joined LWT about 18 months ago. Didn’t know much about the trips but joined to make new friends locally. I found after a life changing event that many friends simply weren’t there and I felt very lonely. I made the first step and joined a local meet up, did many more and have made some lovely friends that I now meet with often. I then made a big step and booked an international trip, it was so well organised and I met some lovely people. It was very daunting but I was made to feel welcome. I might not have got involved with everything as I would have years ago but I have booked more trips and I’m hoping each one I do will bring me back to my old self. Looking forward to many more memories and making new friends along the way. Haven’t regretted any of it, it’s been a god send when I needed it the most. Shareen has created a fantastic space for ladies, looking forward to what comes next xx

I booked my first trip with LWT to Bali in Jun 25, was I nervous about travelling across the world by myself to meet 24 women I’d never met before - ABSOLUTELY- did I have the most amazing time - OMG yes I did! So much so, I booked my next trip to Vietnam as soon as I could - back 2 weeks now and still looking longingly at my photos wishing I was still there. Will I book again? Try stopping me! Here’s why, 1 - you meet the most inspiring ladies, people who have so much love and compassion and who genuinely just want to see the world and live their best lives. I’ve made friends for life. 2 - you get to see and experience things you just wouldn’t if you book a fly and flop holiday. The tours are well planned, a mixture of activities from sightseeing and culture to adventure and action - but only if you want to. The best thing is you don’t have to do any planning or organising as it’s all done for you, you just show up and enjoy! Hotels are great - never had a bad one and beds are always comfortable ❤️ Shareen genuinely cares that her guests have a great time and they enjoy their experience - a tough job managing the expectations of 20+ women, but the smiley faces in the photos say it all! Can’t wait for 2027 dates to come out!

If I could give Shareen and Ladies Who Travel 100 ⭐️, I would!

I've been on 3 international trips to Bali, the Maldives and Vietnam in the last 12 months and can honestly say that this group has changed my life.

I have loads of friends, a wonderful partner and a full life, but I had no-one with either the time or the money to travel with and I prefer company to going it alone.

LWT has filled that gap with incredible tours, packing in fantastic experiences and truly getting under the skin of the country you visit.

I have met some fantastic women along the way and our Maldives group has continued to meet for a winter weekend away and we're planning trips together as well as hounding Shareen for further bucket list trips with the group!
I particularly love that she asks where you'd like to go and then puts together those trips!

I now count Shareen as a friend and truly appreciate what she has created for women to be able to confidently get way out of their comfort zone and make utterly amazing memories. ♥️

I have travelled with ladies who travel on 6 trips now 3 in UK and 3 abroad: Morocco, Thailand and Vietnam. Shareen always comes up with an interesting program with loads to do and see and plenty of variety. If you are looking for fly and flop tours you probably won’t like the high energy but if like me you come to see new places (or even familiar ones with a new perspective) make new friends and get out of my comfort zone by trying new activities then I can’t fault Shareen’s tours. There is always something new and unexpected even for a seasoned traveller. For those less confident there are lots of supportive women who help to ensure there are strong bonds across the group. I go home (or continue to travel when I can get away with being away longer) with a full and happy heart. I am glad I take so many photos as do others which we all share as once I get home I can hardly believe what I have seen and done

I had the best time with LWT when I went to Finland in January 2026. I joined a group of 15 strangers and left with a group of 15 friends. The trip did everything it promised and more. Shareen organised a trip that pushed me to try new things. Whoever would have known I’d love ice dipping in a frozen lake, or snow shoeing through a forest. The trip is carefully curated so that there’s lots of time to do those ‘big ticket’ items and also to spend time exploring alone. LWT have created holidays for women who come with their own stories and aren’t afraid to add to them. I had such a great time, I booked my next trip ( to the Arctic) before I’d come home. If you’re thinking of a LWT trip - jump right in! The best experiences are there for you to enjoy, explore and remember for a life time!

I’ve just come back from a tour to Cambodia and Vietnam. It’s my second tour with Ladies Who Travel.
I’m so pleased I found this group as it enables me to travel to far away places with like minded women. Quite a few of the women knew each other from other tours and local meet ups and they have built a lovely connection between themselves. It’s lovely to watch (I’m an avid people watcher 😛)
There were also ladies on this tour that I met on the last tour, our connection became more friendlier more solid. There were also ladies on this tour who I had met for the first time and we connected so well. ALL ladies were supportive of each other, we all encouraged each other. We have all faced similar obstacles in our lives, treaded similar paths. It was a very safe space to talk about our hardships our successes our dreams. And we want to travel! Shereen puts on the most rewarding tours in my opinion, they are jammed packed with experiences I would never do with a partner or by myself but with a group of brilliant women, yes!
If you’re thinking of joining a tour, stop thinking, just do it - it’s daunting I know, but you’ll be so glad you did it x

I have traveled with this group both in the UK and zbriad. I like the set up of a host for between 12 and 24 ladies and have found many like minded ladies on the trips. The owner Shareen is knowledgeable and supportive and encourages ladies to live their best life. This type of group travel has been a revelation to me and I really enjoy it. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

I was honestly dreading this trip before it even started, based on what I’d heard from previous travellers — and unfortunately, my concerns were completely justified.
While I’m glad I got the chance to meet other ladies, the experience was entirely overshadowed by Shareen Geers. She creates a cliquey, exclusionary atmosphere that completely contradicts the “supportive, empowering community” the company advertises. Existing groups are clearly favoured, and there’s no effort to make newcomers feel welcome.
Shareen’s behaviour was dismissive, intimidating, and at times downright hostile. She frequently made disparaging remarks, openly gatekept the group, and seemed more interested in asserting control than supporting travellers. If you speak up or challenge anything, you are blocked from the group. She also shared personal details inappropriately, making the environment uncomfortable and unprofessional.
Rather than fostering connection, inclusion, or empowerment, she made the trip feel tense, unpleasant, and toxic. I genuinely wish I had chosen a different tour company that actually lives up to its values and creates the inclusive, welcoming atmosphere it promises. I would not recommend travelling with Ladies Who Travel
