Hi Reader,
I'm planning two women-only group trips for 2027, and before I lock in dates and prices, I want to hear from you.
This isn't a "maybe someday" poll. What you tell me decides which trips happen, when they run, and how they're priced. So if you've ever thought "I'd go on one of Kimberly's trips," this is the email to answer.
Here's what's on the table.
Trip 1: Baltic Christmas Markets (late November or December 2027)
Eight days, three capitals: Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius. Medieval old towns, mulled wine, and a different side of European Christmas markets than the usual Germany and Austria route.
What it's not: a rushed bus tour where you get 40 minutes per market and a group photo.
What it is: time to actually wander each city, warm up in cafes, and shop the stalls without anyone tapping their watch.
When: The trip itself runs late November into December , and I want your input.
Want in? Take the 2-minute Baltics survey
This survey runs through my trip partner, TrovaTrip, and it's how they decide whether the trip gets the green light, so every answer counts. Two quick tips: under Preferred Destinations, choose Europe then Estonia, and under Preferred Travel Months, tap November and/or December so I know which timing you'd pick.
Trip 2: Hiking the Dolomites (June or September 2027)
9 days 8 nights in the Italian Alps. We start in Moena in the Val di Fassa, spend a night in a mountain refuge, and finish in Cortina d'Ampezzo. I know this region well and keep coming back, and I want to show it to you on foot.
What it's not: a casual stroll with a cable car at every turn. These are real trail days, roughly 3 to 7 hours of hiking.
What it is: guided hikes, comfortable hotels, one unforgettable night in a rifugio, and none of the planning on your plate.
When: June or September. June means green valleys and early-summer wildflowers. September means cooler hiking days and quieter trails once the summer crowds head home.

Before you ask:
Can I come alone? Yes. That's the point. You'll arrive knowing me and leave knowing everyone else.
Do I need to be an experienced traveler? No. The Christmas markets trip works well for a first trip to Europe. The hiking trip is for women who already walk or hike regularly but don't want to figure out a multi-day mountain trip on their own.
Who are these trips for? Women. All women, whatever your age, background, or travel history. And if you're a military spouse stationed in Europe, I built these with you in mind. I'm one too, and I know what it's like to want to travel with women who get it.
Saying yes doesn't commit you to anything. It just puts you first in line when dates and details are ready. And if neither trip is quite right, hit reply and tell me where you'd want to go instead. I read every reply.
Stay Curious,
Kimberly
