Founded in 2015, The Travel Women is a global community for women by women to help you travel more, for less.
The Travel Women community is here to make travel easier, more inclusive, and more meaningful.
We believe in purposeful storytelling—sharing experiences that not only inspire exploration but also encourage giving back to the environment and communities we visit. Travel isn’t just about counting countries or checking off destinations. It’s about creating connections, uplifting others, and discovering new ways to live a richer life.
Over the years, we’ve partnered with leading brands—from Japan Tourism to Canon—while also amplifying the voices of creators within our community. We are always excited to collaborate, whether it’s through features, partnerships, or fresh ideas from talented writers and contributors.
At our core, we believe The Travel Women should feel safe, supported, and inspired to see the world on their own terms.
We are always looking for talented writers and creators feel free to share your pitch ideas HERE.
We have partnered with a variety of clients from Jamaica Tourism to Lufthansa. If you’re interested in working together, please reach out HERE.

Founder, Editor in chief
Jennifer O’Brien launched The Travel Women in 2015 and has grown it into a trusted platform and vibrant social media community. When she’s not traveling, she enjoys exploring her own backyard in Brooklyn and the other boroughs of New York City.
A professional photographer, videographer, and creative, Jennifer brings a storyteller’s eye to every journey. She has worked at a top travel magazine, managed large influencer campaigns, and authored a children’s book about photography, How Does a Camera Work?
Her adventures have taken her from riding camels into the Sahara to bobsledding the Olympic track in Norway. She studied abroad in Parma, Italy, where she studied Italian and lived with a host family. She believes Italy is the best place for your first solo trip! Some of her favorite memories include sunrise shoots, wandering museums in NYC, and connecting with fellow travelers over shared stories.
Jennifer founded The Travel Women to celebrate women with extraordinary stories and to create a space where knowledge is shared freely so others can turn dream trips into reality. She also loves meeting fellow travelers and encourages you to email her and introduce yourself!
