SMALL GROUP TRAVEL DESIGNED JUST FOR WOMEN WITHOUT CHILDREN

Most trips take you somewhere beautiful — this one takes you somewhere you belong.

SEE UPCOMING TRIPS

You have good friends. A career you’ve built, and a life that’s full.

But still, something is harder to find than it should be — a room full of women where the life you’re living without kids is the norm, not the exception.

Our Sister•Ship creates intentional small-group travel for women without children. Trips designed to go somewhere real — because the best part isn't the destination. It's finally being in a room where your life isn't the exception. The kind of trip where you arrive as strangers and leave making plans to do it again.

WELCOME TO OUR SISTER•SHIP

Exploring new places, moving together, and creating side-by-side does more than fill an itinerary. Small group travel for women builds trust, invites ease, and lays the foundation for lasting community.

Most small group travel for women bring together women from all around the globe. Our Sister•Ship is designed differently: we intentionally travel with women from the same geographic regions, so the connections formed while traveling have a chance to grow into to real-life community back home.

We don’t fill trips — we build circles.

WHAT TRAVELERS HAVE TO SAY

  • "If you're even thinking about going on one of the Our Sister•Ship trips, do it. You won't regret it! Erin masterfully designed a trip that felt like lightening in a bottle. She is incredibly thoughtful and pays so much attention to detail. I felt cared for and deeply understood by women that I'd only just met. After only 48 hours together, I feel like I've walked away with the start of a new community and the beginnings of 7 new friendships."

    -GRETCHEN

  • "For any woman without children seeking community through travel, Our Sister•Ship delivers. I felt supported, seen, and deeply connected from the very beginning."

    — Lisa

    -MEG

  • "Everything about the trip was worth the leap of faith it took when deciding to sign up….I left the weekend feeling deeply connected to the other women who were part of the group. I very enthusiastically recommend this to others!"

    — Laura

NOT EVERY JOURNEY BEGINS WITH A SUITCASE

THIS ONE STARTS CLOSER TO HOME

COMING FALL 2026 A FOUNDING VIRTUAL CIRCLE IS OPENING

An intimate, 8-week virtual journey for women who are ready to question the narrow cultural story that has treated motherhood as the defining measure of a meaningful life — while consciously authoring an expanded version.

If you want to give voice to experiences that have long lived in the margins, alongside women who have lived it too — this room is for you.

WELCOME, I’M ERIN

a place women’s stories are reflected

Our Sister•Ship began with a longing to see more spaces where women living without children, could see their stories reflected and celebrated.

As a therapist and someone who finds renewal through the novelty of new places, I chose travel because it offers what daily life often cannot. It creates space to set down obligations, step outside routine, and share meaningful experiences. Immersive travel provides the ideal conditions for friendship to grow - not through forced conversation, but through shared discovery, curiosity, and doing life side-by-side.

I chose the name Our Sister•Ship with the metaphor of a vessel in mind — a space capable of holding the many different stories women carry about living without children. Some arrive here by choice, others through circumstances they never imagined, and many somewhere in between. What matters most is that we are traveling together.

This is the space I wish had existed.
