Yes, a minimum number of participants is required. While this has never happened, if we don’t meet the minimum and need to cancel, deposits will be refunded (minus any credit card processing fees).
How can I connect with other travelers before the adventure?

About a month before each adventure, we create a private Facebook Messenger group for attendees to ask questions and get to know each other. Additionally, at least 30 days prior we’ll schedule a pre-trip Zoom meeting, so everyone can connect face-to-face, discuss details, and start the journey together.
How can I join the Gals on the Go community?
