Dear ,
With much of the world opening up again, we have an opportunity to explore it with fresh eyes. Our list of "20 Less-Travelled Places" invites you to consider new places around the world, as recommended by our readers and our Women's Travel Advisory Council. We're also developing
similar lists for the US and Canada (and welcome your ideas or tips at editor@journeywoman.com).
In this special feature, we complement our list with women-friendly tours that focus on the road less travelled from our Women's Travel Directory We hope that these experiences, which include Crete to Israel to Mongolia (and places in between), pique your curiosity. (Some include special discounts for JourneyWoman readers so read on!)
More small businesses are joining our Directory every single day, which allows you to search for women-friendly tours or retreats by date, destination or type of activity. When you travel, we hope that you'll choose to support a woman-owned small business, and look for the "JourneyWoman Verified" mark. If you've travelled with any of the tour companies,
please leave a review on their listing page.

Corsica in September 2022: Corsica is a French island with an Italian soul island which flies under the radar, not receiving the attention it deserves.
