Voices from the Trip
What past travellers said! Read more about what travellers said about the last Gone International trip in December 2025 here.
“I laughed more than I expected and had such a good time with everyone. From the first day it felt easy and fun, like travelling with friends rather than strangers. Sharing new experiences together made everything feel brighter - I left with great memories and people I hope to see again.”
“Being surrounded by so many warm, interesting women made every moment more fun. We bonded quickly, shared so many laughs, and experienced things together that I’ll never forget. It felt joyful, magical, and full of connection from start to finish.”
“What made this experience so special was doing something new with a group of like-minded women. We laughed a lot, tried things I wouldn’t have done alone, and made memories together that turned into real friendships. It was fun in the best, most unexpected way.”
