  • How big are the groups?
    Each trip has a maximum capacity to keep travel personal, to make interactions with locals more intimate, and to allow the women on the trips to get to know each on a deeper level. For those reasons, trips will not exceed 15 people. We aim to be able to sit around the same breakfast table together, to avoid “fish bowl tourism,” and spend time in connection with our fellow travelers and locals.

    Cherish welcomes women of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life. Our trips typically range in age from 28-55 and we have hosted women from all over the United States on each of our trips.

    Cherish prides ourselves on being a fully curated experience. We arrange a day by day itinerary that we believe will give you the best experience in each of our destinations. Our methodology is that we curate trips with a balance of full group activities, small group activities, personal choice, and down time. Almost all of the full group and small group activities are optional for our travelers but we highly encourage you to participate in the curated experiences to get the most out of your trip. There is scheduled downtime within each itinerary to give you as the traveler the opportunity to have free time. As well as we create options within each trip so you as the traveler can choose what you'd like to participate in during your vacation.

    No! We believe that busy women should cherish their time off, so we do not require donations or volunteer work during your vacation. We support local women’s economy through intentional spending of tourism dollars.

    Cherish prepares and plans all itineraries for an experience ahead of time. However, all of our trips are curated to the individual guest's experience. In order to personalize your experience while supporting the group as a whole, there may be shifts to the published itinerary. In the event of a change to the itinerary, Cherish aims to inform you prior to the change being confirmed. We promise that any changes made will be of the same impeccable standard expected when traveling with us.

  • I would like to travel with a family member or friend, is that ok? Can we share a room?
    We encourage those who are interested in taking a trip to Cherish to travel solo. This provides the best experience for those traveling to connect with one another on a deeper level and for you to leave all of your extra baggage at home. However, it is an option to book with a friend, family member, or fellow badass woman traveler on some of our trips. Shared rooms may not always be available and are on a trip by trip basis. If you are interested in taking a Cherish trip exclusively for your girl tribe, please email us to chat about our Private Tour options.
  • Can I bring my partner, spouse, husband, etc.?"
    Cherish is exclusively for women travelers. We have designed our trips to cultivate community between women who will support and champion one another. In order to facilitate the best experience we do not allow for male significant others or friends to join us in our experiences. We appreciate you understanding and alligning with this value.

  • COVID Related Information
    While safety and comfort are our biggest priorities, Cherish is not responsible for any inherent risks related to COVID-19 and traveling. We do limit the amount of women on each trip to 15 people, which allows for a safer, small group environment while traveling. Hand sanitizer and other sanitizing products will be available with your tour host at all times. If you personally do not feel safe traveling during these times, we are happy to add you to our contact list for trips in the future. As COVID is a large concern for all of us, we have implemented a highly flexible cancellation policy for our trips. However, outside of the lenient policy in place we are not offering additional COVID-19 related refunds at this time unless the group trip as a whole needs to be cancelled. If you have any specific COVID-19 concerns, please feel free to email to discuss further.
  • Are their other COVID policies I should be aware of?
    Cherish will operate in line with all local government and WHO regulations for COVID travel. It will be likely that you will be required to bring a mask and hand sanitizer with you on your trip. Anyone suffering from COVID-19 symptoms or that tests positive for COVID-19 prior to the trip will be asked to stay home. The safety measures you should be aware of are: - You may be required to wear a mask at certain points during your trip - If you become ill, the trip leader has the authority to remove you from the trip and/or request for you to isolate yourself from the group - Your safety and the group’s safety is our top priority - If you have not been vaccinated you may be requested to take a COVID test prior to traveling with the group
  • What is the policy in the event someone in my group gets sick?
    Cherish highly values each member of their tour group, and their personal health and safety while traveling. We will do our best to isolate the sick person from the group and get them medical treatment. If their symptoms are in line with COVID-19, if possible, we will get them tested as soon as possible. Any guest who has symptoms that are in line with COVID-19 or tests positive will not be able to continue with group activities.
  • What if I get ill during my trip?
    If you get ill or have to leave for another reason during the trip, your trip leader will be on hand to help make arrangements for you. However we will not be able to offer a refund for missed activities or trip related expenses.
  • International Travel Requirements
    Cherish works with each guest to make you aware of all of the requirements for travel. It is ultimately your responsibility to obtain and complete all necessary COVID-19 related requirements prior to travel. Cherish is not responsible for additional expenses or issues if you are unable to enter a country due to not fulfilling these COVID-19 related requirements.
  • What is your #1 suggested packing item?
    A comfortable, lightweight pair of shoes. I don’t mind wearing sneakers with a dress, so any shoe that is versatile and squeezes into tight packing spaces is essential.
  • What is the biggest tip you would give for first-time travelers?
    Make a packing list early! This allows for you to do any fun vacation clothes shopping in time to bring all the things that you would like. The other major thing I suggest is to read a bit of history about the place you are traveling to. I believe it helps you have more understanding and appreciation for the country you will be staying in.
  • What’s the best piece of travel advice you have ever received?
    Look at where you have come from. Pause and turn around to look at the path or the scenery you just passed. Enjoy the beauty of where you are traveling to, but also where you’ve traveled from.
  • What’s the first thing you do when you get home from a trip?
    Megan: I love on my dog the minute I’m home. Cuddle up and just enjoy my couch with him and watch a movie.
