Girl Friend Nation
  1. The front seat passenger is the “Concierge.” Be prepared for anything and everything. What the Driver wants, the Driver gets promptly. 
  2. The Driver selects the music and is the LEAD Singer unless the Driver relinquishes said duties. 
  3. All snacks are free game so choose quickly, Girl Friends!
  4. The backseat passengers have permission to sleep until the next rotation and are encouraged to do so unless needed as backup singers.
  5. The Driver will control the temperature, so be prepared and have clothing appropriate for all four seasons at the ready. 
  6. “Potty” breaks are at the discretion of the entire group, with “majority rules” in effect until reaching the final destination. Drink wisely and do those Kegels leading up to go time. Ain’t nobody got time for that!
  7. No topic is off the table. However, you may plead the 5th or use the “I don’t remember. I had too much to drink” card.
  8. Nobody, and we mean nobody, gets to ask, “Are we there yet?” You may be relegated to the trunk, roof, or bumper if you do.
  9. What’s said in the car stays in the car.
  10. Take those pictures, build memories, be safe, and most of all, have fun.
  11. Taking the scenic route is at the privilege of the “Concierge,” so frequent stops may occur. This scenic route is only on the way there, never on the way home.
  12. Pictures must have the approval of the group before posting on social.
  13. Earbuds are no excuse for missing instructions, potty breaks, or snack availability. 
  14. Do your girls a solid. It is mandatory to crack the window. Even though we say we don’t, we do.🙂
  15. The Driver is the Head Girl Friend until she becomes a passenger.

Snacks

Easy, fun, and oh-so-good!

Glitzi Pop: Fun To Make, Super Easy, And Lots Of Pizzazz!

  • Your favorite popcorn.

  • Pink melts or white, and add red food coloring.

  • Sprinkles – gold, pink, silver, lips, hearts, or whatever color you love.

  • Edible Shimmer – we use Sweet Shop Edible Shimmer (Walmart) and Bakery Bling Glittery Sugar, white chocolate or rainbow mini chips.

Pop your popcorn, and place it on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Microwave your melts as per the directions on the package, and drizzle over popcorn or, you can mix in a bowl if you prefer, then lay it on the parchment paper. Immediately add sprinkles, chips, etc., once hardened, spray with shimmer, then package in individual bags for the girls.

Road Trip Flips or Road Trip Stixs:

  • Pretzels, mini twists, or rods.
  • Melts – white, pink, purple, chocolate, or mix it up.
  • Sprinkles.
  • Edible shimmer.
  • Glittery Sugar.
  • Mini Chocolate chips.
  • Nuts.

Pick your preferred pretzels, and place them on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Microwave your melts as per the directions on the package. Dip your pretzels (we only do half of the pretzel itself so there is a place to hold them and avoid melting on your hands). Immediately add sprinkles, chips, etc., once hardened, spray with shimmer, then package in individual bags for the girls.

Travel Girls Getaways brings women together from all over the globe to explore incredible destinations. They offer educational retreats, trips, and tours hosted by the founder, Vanessa, for women looking to travel with like-minded female travelers. Their adventures give you the opportunity to learn new skills, immerse yourself in local culture, and, most importantly, make lifelong friends! We couldn’t agree more.

They are as passionate about giving back to the countries they visit as they are about inspiring female travel. They accomplish this through Travel Girls Giving, which spotlights charitable organizations, hosts community fundraisers and sharing sustainable travel tips. 

The Whole Experience is an incredible story of serendipity and shared passions! It’s amazing how chance encounters, and conversations can lead to life-changing journeys. The story of Tameika G and Whitney Gee, who later became known as The G Girls, showcases the power of connection and following one’s purpose.

Over the years, The G Girls have touched the lives of thousands of women through their offerings. Whether it’s through coaching, retreats, workshops, or other resources, they have created a platform that supports women on their wellness journeys. By combining their expertise in travel, health and wellness, and female empowerment, they have created a holistic approach to wellness that addresses mind, body, and spirit.

Women Traveling Together® (WTT) is a travel company that was established in 1997 by Debra Asberry, a 40-year-old businesswoman with a strong desire to explore the world. She faced a common challenge many women encounter when considering solo travel or joining tours primarily designed for couples. Not finding an existing solution that met her specific needs, Debra took it upon herself to create a travel company that specifically catered to women traveling unaccompanied.

The company’s primary focus is to provide a supportive and inclusive environment for women seeking travel experiences that promote personal growth, connection, and exploration. WTT offers carefully crafted itineraries and group tours exclusively for women, allowing them to discover new destinations and cultures while forming meaningful relationships with fellow travelers.

Ventre’s Adventures is an educational adventure company founded by Kristy Ventre, a high school teacher, and passionate world traveler. The company was born from Kristy’s realization that her experiences abroad could greatly benefit her students.

Their small but powerful localized business approach and eco-friendly vision set them apart. Forget big buses and generic vibes! That’s not their style; preferring a communal approach to travel and giving back to the local economy by partnering with local vendors.

When the pandemic hit, Kristy realized that people of all ages could benefit from outdoor adventure and education. Not only would it challenge their comfort zones, but it would keep them healthy. She expanded her mission to include adults and domestic travel.
