We're two down to earth, northern women from Cheshire (well, Claire is orginally from the North East), who are full of wanderlust and love to travel to globe visiting amazing places, meeting fabulous new people and immersing in new cultures. Travel and adventure are our passion!

We met in 2017 and have become firm friends and business buddies over our shared passion as we realised when we fused our two skill sets, we were able to offer something truly unique.

Were both in the business of empowering women and supporting their wellbeing, a topic close to our hearts as we share 5 daughters between us.
