FAQ

Our trips are designed for women of all ages (typically 21+, but there are some exceptions) and backgrounds who love adventure, culture,
and connection. Many of our travelers come solo, while others bring a friend, sister, daughter or mom. Either way, you’ll be welcomed into a supportive group of like-minded women.

Each trip includes a detailed activity level guide so you know what to expect—whether it’s light walking tours, moderate hikes, or more active treks, such as the 96-mile West Highland Way. For most trips, if you’re comfortable walking on uneven ground and have a moderate level of fitness, you’ll be just fine.

No problem! Many of our travelers are first-time international travelers. We’ll guide you through everything from packing tips to airport arrival. Your trip leader and the group will be there to support you every step of the way.

We provide a packing list for every trip so you know exactly what to bring (and what to leave at home). Essentials usually include comfortable walking shoes, layers for changing weather, and a sense of adventure!

We highly recommend travel insurance for all Chicas Abroad trips. It protects you in case of unexpected events such as trip delays, medical emergencies, or lost luggage. We’ll provide guidance on choosing the right plan.

Our travelers range from their 20s to their 70s. Most groups include a wonderful mix of ages, which makes for diverse conversations and perspectives.

You can reserve your spot directly on our website with a deposit. The remaining balance is due closer to departure, and we offer interest-free monthly payment plans to make it easy.

Deposits are non-refundable, but they are transferrable to another Chicas Abroad trip if you let us know 90+ days before your scheduled departure. This gives you flexibility if your plans change.

We reserve the right to cancel trips with inadequate participant attendance or for other unforeseen circumstances, in which case all money paid to Chicas Abroad will be fully refunded. Please note that Chicas Abroad cannot be held responsible for personal expenses such as airline tickets due to changes in itineraries or tour cancellations. Once you book a trip with us, we will notify you when the trip has met the minimum number of participants required. At that point, it’s safe to purchase your flights and make other travel arrangements.
