SMALL GROUP TRAVEL DESIGNED JUST FOR WOMEN WITHOUT CHILDREN 

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

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 you’re life without kids is the norm, not the exception.

Our Sister•Ship creates small-group travel experiences for women without children — trips designed to go somewhere meaningful, not just geographically. Intentional by design, not just in where they go but in who's in the room.

Travel is the vehicle. Finding your people is the point.

WELCOME TO OUR SISTER•SHIP


Sure you’ve traveled before. You’ve been on the girls trip, you’ve solo traveled and met friends along the way. You’ve gone on women’s You've probably been on group trips, or women's retreats, or weekends with friends. You know what it feels like to be in a room full of women you like but may never see again.

This is different.

OurSistership gathers small groups of women without children — eight to ten, by design — for travel experiences built around a single premise: that being in a room where your life is simply the norm changes something in you. Not as a concept. As a physical feeling.

Unlike most small group travel for women, that bring together strangers from around the globe, Our Sister•Ship is designed differently. We travel with other women from the same geographic regions, so the connections formed while traveling, can grow to real-life community back home.

The trip ends but the relationships follow you home.

YOU'RE NOT IMAGINING IT.

The social world that quietly shifted.

Somewhere in your 30s, the social world you'd built started quietly reorganizing itself. Not all at once, but gradually overtime. The weekend dinners that used to happen spontaneously now require weeks of calendar coordination. Your friends begin having children, moving into a new parenting chapter you’re not a part of, and the conversations often lead places you can’t follow.

For many, the distance carries something heavier than inconvenience. You wanted this chapter too, and yet it just didn't unfold the way you hoped — through circumstances, through loss, through a path that led somewhere different than you imagined. It’s a grief you’ve likely carried quietly or even alone.

For others, the path to not having children is a life you chose. But what you might not have anticipated, was how hard it would be to find women who are living something close to what you're living.

That’s what Our Sister•Ship is for.

OUR VALUES

  • Pleasure, new experiences, beauty, and adventure are vital at every stage of life.

  • We believe in creating the kind of friendships that reflect and celebrate the lives we’re living now.

  • More depth, more spontaneity, more joy, more discovery, more meaningful connection.

  • We honor the richness of every path, and believe that gathering as women without children in celebration, is a quiet and powerful act of rebellion against diminishing narratives.

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.
