What started as casual TikTok travel content turned into a full-blown community of solo female adventurers. Meredith Pierce, a digital creator and travel enthusiast, found a way to combine purpose, passion, and profit by organizing international group trips—specifically for women who might otherwise travel alone.
From TikTok to Tours
Initially, Meredith shared travel tips, packing hacks, and solo destination vlogs on TikTok. The comments flooded in: “I want to go with you!” That demand sparked an idea—what if she hosted real group trips?
Designing the Experience
Meredith's trips prioritize community, not luxury. Think Iceland road trips, Bali retreats, and Cape Town cultural immersions. Trips range from 5 to 10 days and cost between $900–$1,600, including lodging, local tours, and many meals. They're affordable, inclusive, and immersive.
The Magic of Solo Travelers Coming Together
Most participants are solo women in their 20s and 30s. Strangers become roommates, roommates become lifelong friends. Meredith facilitates bonding through shared meals, journaling prompts, and low-pressure adventures.
Handling the Unexpected
Not every trip goes perfectly. In Iceland, a snowstorm rerouted plans. In Mexico, an Airbnb lost power. But these challenges often bring the group closer. “It’s like travel camp for grown women,” Meredith laughs.
Business Model Meets Authenticity
Though it started as a side hustle, the trips now supplement Meredith’s income significantly. Yet she avoids the influencer trap—every decision is filtered through her core value: building meaningful experiences, not just selling products.
Conclusion:
Meredith's story proves that with passion, intention, and a little creativity, travel can be both a business and a source of deep human connection.
