Cherish aims to empower women through purposeful travel.

Each curated travel experience not only enriches the lives of our travelers but also supports the economic empowerment of women around the world. We believe that travel is a bridge that creates a catalyst for change, fosters connections, and leaves a lasting legacy of support between travelers and the communities they visit.

Hi, I’m Megan!

I’m the Founder and Chief Memory Creator of Cherish Tours. Cherish was born from a deep belief that travel can be transformational.

I was born and raised in Michigan, but I have been shaped by experiences in more than 45 countries. Who I am today has been molded by the places I’ve lived, the cultures I’ve encountered, and the women I’ve met along the way. Travel taught me that when women move through the world with intention, confidence, and curiosity, the ripple effects extend far beyond the journey itself.

With a background in hospitality and event planning, I design experiences that feel seamless, personal, and deeply meaningful.

Cherish isn’t just about where we go. It’s about how we travel, who we support, and the collective impact we create together.

What We Believe

Positive Ripple Effects Start with Women

Tourism is one of the largest and most powerful industries in the world, shaping economies, communities, and livelihoods. We believe that when women travel with intention, their choices create ripple effects that directly support women in, strengthen local economies, and contribute to a more equitable global landscape.

Signature

small group trips

Our guided journeys bring together like-minded women looking to share meaningful experiences

  • “I walked away with new friends and feeling so much love from the women on the trip!”

    As an introvert, I love that Cherish gives you the option of booking single rooms and that the group size is small, making it easier to form connections with your fellow travelers. I’ve traveled solo before, but for me, travel is much more meaningful when the experiences are shared.

  • “To say this trip was transformative is an understatement”

    The trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar was my first group trip and overseas trip ever! Cherish Tours delivered a high quality, fun and safe adventure. I appreciated the fact the trip included cultural experiences and the opportunity to immerse ourselves into a totally different environment. The accommodations, transportation and activities were all top notch. Some people say travel (and particularly international travel) is transformative.
