What our Camino Women Are Saying about Us
Check Out Our Instagram!
Maybe you ARE too old. Maybe you’re NOT fit enough - Or maybe…
For the first time in a long time, it’s finally YOUR turn.
Olivia here 👋 I hear it all the time:
👉 The quiet fear of the unknown.
👉 The doubts about fitness.
👉 That whisper of “Who even am I now?”
You’ve spent the last 10, 15, maybe 20 years showing up for everyone else. Your kids, your work, your people. Now they’ve grown, moved on… and you’re standing there thinking “What’s next?”
You’re not alone.
Jacqui was nervous about travelling solo after losing her husband. But she said yes (fear and all) and came back beaming. She found soul-friends in her group and they’re already planning their next trip together 🥹
Another guest turned 60 just before flying out to Slovenia. She named it “The Year of Kim”....new boots, new country, new story.
We hear it constantly:
👉🏼 “My husband’s not into hiking”
👉🏼 “My kids don’t join me anymore”
👉🏼 “None of my friends would ever do this. I’m the crazy one who actually loves hiking!”
Well, guess what? That “crazy one”?
She’s our kind of woman.
The one who lights up in nature. Who wants more than a poolside holiday. Who craves the feeling of standing on a mountain in the Himalayas or wandering through Slovenia’s valleys thinking “I did this. For ME.”
That’s what Camino Women is for.
You’ve got me, Sophie and Pippa to help every step. Training tips, trip recs, packing lists, and most importantly… the best group of women you’ve ever met.
They come nervous.
They leave changed.
And they always come back (sometimes with sisters, friends, even workmates!)
So maybe you are too old, too unfit, too inexperienced…
Or maybe… you’re just getting started. 😉
🫖🍷 Grab a cuppa (or pour a cheeky wine), put your feet up and scroll through our trips.

‘I found the trek to be quite easy. There was just so much to look at!’
Easy to easy, when you have views like these to motivate you to push through to the Annapurna Base Camp (pictures 1, 2 and 3)
‘The guide looked after the group so well. I felt like a princess.’
You mean a llama-princess who just trekked about 70 kilometres in Peru?🦙 (picture 4)
'I noticed I was always smiling'
At which of the Greek Islands exactly? 😄(picture 5)
What’s cooking in Nepal, ladies?
After a stroll around Kathmandu, our Camino Women found themselves chopping, stirring and filling their bellies with traditional Nepalese food.
They even stumbled upon a local Hindi wedding – all before their trek even started.
Now they’re off to the Annapurna Base Camp. Wishing you the best of luck!
We can’t wait to hear about the bonds you form along the trail. ♥️

Sophie here 👋🏻
It seems only a minute ago I was trekking the Soum Son Trail in Laos, and now I am in the Mountains of Albania trekking what I can of the Peaks of the Balkans trail!!
Have you seen that itinerary? If not, you must! 👇🏻
The reason I decided to drag my family across the world to visit Albania, Montenegro and Kosovo, was because I'd heard such incredible feedback from the ladies who trekked here in 2024 😍 I just had to see it for myself!
While it isn't quite the right season to be here, we are having the most surreal experience. The scenery is like nothing we have ever seen, and the food is absolutely delicious (I'm particularly enjoying the smokey kebabs!). And, have you seen the colour of that water? No editing required! It's the most milky blue, but also freezing cold.. I haven't mustered up the strength for a swim yet, but those adventurers travelling with us in June and August will definitely get the chance.
Stay posted guys, we have still to get through Kosovo and Montenegro, and I'll be sure to keep sharing about our adventure.
Happy trails! 🥾 🙌🏻

Meet Pippa! ♥️
Pippa is the new addition to our tight-knit Camino Women bookings team. She’s found her place in our hearts almost instantly. One of our team members even said: ‘When I grow up, I want to be Pippa!’
She’s had itchy feet since she was 17 years old when her loving mum encouraged her to set off to Nepal. Today, her travel list counts more than 25 countries.
“I hope I will be able to inspire you to grab your precious life and travel as far and wide as you can”, she says.
Pippa’s recent favourite adventure was walking the Camino de Santiago – all 900 kilometres of it!
On top of that, she climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa and one of the Seven Summits.
Imagine how she felt when she finally reached the 5,895-metre-high Uhuru Peak. Her smiling eyes in the second photo say it all.
And she did it twice! 🤩
That’s double the amount of joy, awe and pride. (Just how we feel about having Pippa with us)
Would you ever dare to climb Mount Kilimanjaro?

It’s a wrap. Our Camino Women crew just returned from a trip in Vietnam ♥️
Some of the highlights they were bragging about – the locals’ kindness blew them all away. The homestay in Nghia Lo was one for the books! Phone galleries overflowing with photos of rice paddies and bellies full of phở.
Is Vietnam on your travel list?
Alright, our epic trip design is working on a brand new hike and we just had to ask:
On which mountain trek you’d spend 5 out of 13 nights in a hammock in the wilderness under the open skies and love it?
Sophie here. While I may be physically back behind the computer today.. my mind certainly is still in Laos 🛺💓
I'm thinking about all the wonderful, local people I met.. Our incredible guide, Mr Lee, who had such interesting information on the local cultures, tribes, traditions, history, food... you name it!
I'm thinking about the delicious food, and the smells that would waft out from street vendors from 6am through until 10pm.
I'm thinking about how safe I felt as I wandered around the streets of Luang Prabang & Vientiane, at any time of day or night. Never hassled by the locals to buy anything, or rent their taxi, but always there if I needed anything.
I'm thinking about how hard it will be to pay for a beer in Australia, when I've been used to paying less than 50,000 kip (AUD$2.90) 🍻 Trust me when I say, the beer tastes better at that price!
I'm thinking about the ladies I travelled with, and wonder how they're getting on with their additional travel plans through Vietnam, Cambodia & Thailand.
I'm thinking back to the quietness of those cities, and the lack of traffic and chaos usually so prominent in South East Asia.
I'm thinking back to seeing Elephants trekking, and paddling in the wild. Such incredible beasts, and we are so proud to support an eco-tourism project who care for Elephants in their natural environment and live in harmony with nature and humans.
And, after all that, I'm also thinking about the Soum Son Trail, and that magical moment where all the local children came to send us on our way ✨It was so, unbelievably special.
I guess I had better get back to my desk, and stop day-dreaming about the past few weeks. But, if anyone fancies a chat about it, please feel free to give me the excuse to tell you all about this magical destination.
