A Different Kind of Glow - Why we chose iceland for our first women’s trip Wildher series

There’s something deeply powerful about traveling with women.

Maybe it’s the way conversations stretch long and late over shared meals, or how laughter erupts mid-hike, echoing through wild landscapes. Maybe it’s the soft space we create for each other—permission to breathe a little deeper, to cry if needed, to move at our own rhythm without explanation.

That’s exactly what we wanted when we dreamed up the WildHer Series: a kind of travel that isn’t performative or rushed, but real. A space for women to reconnect—with themselves, with each other, and with the wide, wild world.

And Iceland? Iceland had to be one of the first.

With its steamy hot springs tucked in lava fields, storybook waterfalls, and skies that dance in green light, Iceland feels like another planet—in the best possible way. It’s quiet where our lives are loud. Still where our days are spinning. Vast and open in a way that lets you expand, just by being in it.

We wanted our group to soak in those geothermal pools and let the steam carry away the stress. To bundle up in cozy knits and stand under the Northern Lights, checking something off the bucket list and checking back in with ourselves. To eat warm, delicious meals and feel fully present—no carpool line, no inbox, no dinner to make for someone else.

This wasn’t a trip to “get away.” It was a chance to return to something we’d forgotten: joy, wonder, rest, and the kind of connection that happens when women show up for each other, without distraction.

If you've ever felt the tug to press pause on the hustle of family life, work, and caregiving—to hear yourself think, to be held in good company, to feel the magic of a different kind of glow—this kind of travel might be for you, too.

Iceland showed us what's possible.

And we're just getting started.
