Our Host
Christine Winebrenner Irick was recently named one of “2023’s Most Influential Women in Travel” by TravelPulse. She received a Bessie Award from Wanderful in 2022 for her work on Soul of Travel, being recognized as a brand that has gone above and beyond to support, empower, and represent women in the past year.
She has spoken with over 100 women in many countries who are working to create a positive impact around the world. Some of these past guests include Vincie Ho, Paula Vlamings, Malia Asfour, Norie Quintos, Celine Cousteau, Kinga Philipps, and Jessica Blotter.

Christine has three daughters she loves to explore with and plans to spend a year traveling the globe with them from June 2023-June 2024. She loves to read and considers that an extension of inner and outer journeys. She grew up in Montana and is happiest when she finds herself sitting near crystal clear water at the base of a mountain with sunshine on her face.

Our guests are experienced travelers and travel professionals who work within different sectors of the tourism industry and are experts in their fields. You'll hear from adventure-based community organizations, social impact businesses, travel photographers and videographers, tourism boards, destination marketing organizations, and transformational travel experts.
Together our guests value the idea that travel goes beyond the travel destination itself and focus more on improving our physical, mental, and global well-being. Whether you're an adventure travel junkie or a budget-minded traveler, the experiences we face are what make us the women we strive to become.

Our conversations are inclusive to all women travelers (we think men will love our conversations, too!). We aim to educate, inspire and grow as a community. Everyone's travel story is unique, and we believe sharing our inspiring stories and hearing from others is what will lead to an inspired sisterhood.
