Pink Pangea: Meet The Powerful Voices Of Female Travel Writers

Those infected with the traveling bug will often reach the corners of the globe and for some female travelers, there is always a consideration of whether a location is safe for solo travelers. Back in 2009, Rachel Sales, an avid traveler and writer had the same consideration but couldn’t access this information from travel guides. She wished for a community of woman who had experience of traveling and could advise her on her next locations.

It was from this gaping hole in the travel industry that Pink Pangea sprung into fruition. Pink Pangea is an online community of women who have a platform to share travel stories, give travel insights and share adventures. Together with close friend and co-founder Jaclyn Mishal, Pink Pangea has grown into a large global community of female travelers.

Pink Pangea now runs workshops and retreats all over the globe run by Pink Pangea’s co-founder, Jaclyn. A writing teacher and an inspirational public speaker, Jaclyn’s speciality is guiding people to express themselves fully. Her creative guided writing activities help even the most seasoned writers break out of their habits and expand their abilities. Jaclyn has led writing and Fearless Living workshops internationally in partnership with colleges and companies. The workshop’s strength lies in the energy of gathering like-minded women from all over the globe. Through Jaclyn’s direction of guided meditation and writing in the style of stream of consciousness, she helps participants access parts of themselves that many have trouble expressing otherwise.

What makes Pink Pangea special is their retreats which take place in some of the most beautiful spots on the globe, including Barcelona, Costa Rica, Venice, the Swiss Alps and Tuscany to name a few. Women from all over the world come together and explore these locations while discovering new parts of themselves through yoga, hiking and of course, writing.

Some of Pink Pangea’s participants are truly inspiring and each bring with them their uniques experiences and stories, such as ‘Stepping Off the Edge after 50,’ which documents real women boldly making courageous life changes, and ‘Diagnosed at 14, Taking Chances Forever,’ a piece about overcoming obstacles. This inspiration and energy as a group of females has a profound effect on the participants, and it’s the writing from the heart and soul that makes Pink Pangea the success it is today. Don’t miss the next ‘Writing, Touring, and Yoga Retreat‘ in Tel Aviv in May 2016.

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day.
