Nadine didn’t start The Solo Travel Collection because the world needed another travel company.
She started it because she believed women deserved a different way to travel.
After more than 15 years in the travel industry, working with globally respected brands including Tauck, Kensington Tours, and Collette, Nadine noticed something. Too many itineraries tried to do it all. More cities. More sights. More checklists.
But the trips people remembered most weren’t the busiest ones.
They were the ones where they slowed down enough to truly experience a place.
That belief has become the philosophy behind The Solo Travel Collection: Do less. Feel more.
Instead of rushing from landmark to landmark, Nadine believes in creating space for the moments you can’t plan. Long conversations over dinner. A quiet morning wandering a local market. Learning to make pasta from an Italian grandmother. Watching the sunset without feeling like you have to race to the next stop.
Those are the moments that stay with you long after you’ve unpacked your suitcase.
Nadine has spent her career designing meaningful travel experiences around the world, earning recognition for innovative product development and award-winning itineraries. Today, she’s also a respected voice in the travel industry, speaking about the rise of solo women’s travel and the importance of building genuine community through shared experiences.
But if you ask her what she’s most proud of, it isn’t an award or a title.
It’s the community.
One of the things that makes The Solo Travel Collection different is that the journey begins before takeoff. Through virtual meet-and-greets and group chats, travelers have the chance to connect before they ever arrive at the airport. By the time the trip begins, they’re no longer strangers. They’re already cheering each other on, sharing travel tips, and counting down the days together.
Nadine also regularly hosts many of The Solo Travel Collection’s departures herself, something she considers one of the most rewarding parts of her work. There’s nothing she enjoys more than welcoming women at the start of a journey, watching their confidence grow throughout the trip, and seeing complete strangers return home as lifelong friends.
For Nadine, travel has never been about collecting passport stamps.
It’s about collecting moments.
It’s about saying yes to yourself.
It’s about discovering that you are far more capable than you ever imagined.

Step into your own story. Feel the thrill of discovering what makes you laugh, pause, and breathe deeply. Solo travel isn’t just about seeing the world—it’s about seeing you in a whole new light.
Every street, café, and sunset has a story—let it sweep you up. From hidden corners to bustling markets, you’ll experience places in a way only a solo traveler can: curious, open, and totally in the moment with dedicated time for independent exploration.
Solo doesn’t mean solitary. Meet fellow travelers, local storytellers, and kindred spirits along the way. Your journey sparks connections that linger long after your footprints fade.
