What Is a Curated Women’s Getaway?
If you’ve ever looked at an organized tour and thought, That sounds convenient, but I don’t want every minute of my vacation scheduled, Glitter & Ivy is being built with you in mind.
A curated getaway sits somewhere between a traditional tour and a completely independent vacation.
You get structure where structure makes travel easier—and freedom where freedom makes travel better.
The Traditional Tour
Traditional tours can make traveling incredibly convenient. Transportation, sightseeing and accommodations may all be organized for you.
But some travelers don’t want a schedule that begins early every morning and continues until evening.
They want a little more room.
The Completely Independent Trip
At the opposite end is DIY travel.
You decide everything.
Where you’re staying.
Where you’re eating.
How you’re getting around.
What requires a reservation.
Which attractions are worth doing.
And how everything fits together.
For those of us who genuinely enjoy research, that can be fun.
But it’s also work.
The Glitter & Ivy Middle Ground
The idea behind a Glitter & Ivy getaway is to take some of that work away without taking the independence out of travel.
A future itinerary might include a welcome gathering, a special tour, a memorable group dinner and another signature experience.
But there may also be an afternoon marked simply:
Free Time
And I think that’s important.
What Could Be Planned?
Every destination will be different, but a curated itinerary may include things such as:
- Carefully selected accommodations
- A welcome experience
- Group dining
- Signature destination activities
- Useful recommendations
- Pre-trip planning information
- An organized itinerary
What Might Be Left Open?
That could include:
Shopping.
Spa time.
Optional sightseeing.
Dining on your own.
Rest.
Meeting someone you know locally.
Or doing absolutely nothing.
Because vacation shouldn’t become another list of obligations.
Who Is This Kind of Travel For?
It may be particularly appealing if you’ve ever thought:
I’d love to travel more, but nobody else can go.
Or:
I want someone else to handle the research.
Or simply:
I’d like to meet some new people without spending every waking minute together.
That’s exactly the type of experience Glitter & Ivy is being designed to provide.
