I did my first ever group trip a year ago with Locas Only in Peru whilst on my travels and wow. I still think about it all the time. Peru was one of the most beautifully curated, soul nourishing experiences Iāve ever had.
Fernanda⦠what a woman. She truly was the heart of the whole trip. Her passion and love for her home county, her knowledge culture, history, food you feel it in everything she shares. Nothing was surface level. Every detail was so deeply thought through, from the places we stayed to the way we moved, ate, explored, and connected. You could tell this is her purpose. Sheās the kind of person who walks into a space and instantly puts you at ease like if sheās good, weāre all good.
This trip was also really my comfort zone. Iām naturally more introverted and after months of solo travel, the idea of being around a group 24/7 was a stretch for me. But honestly in a space with 12 different women pushed me in ways I needed. I learned so much about myself, about sisterhood, about what Iām capable of and Iāll carry those lessons with me forever.
Vania was such an incredible co host, her energy is intoxicating. and Lucy did so much more than just take photos she held space, shared in the experience, and captured moments that Iāll treasure forever. But my god the moments she captured are pure magic. They both made me feel at home.
And the food⦠Every meal felt like an experience in itself. As a fellow foodie, I could tell it was all curated with so much intention and love. Connecting over food, stories, and late night laughter was one of my favourite parts of the whole trip.
Locas Only is more than just a trip itās a deep, rich journey. And Fernanda, Vania and Lucy are women Iād follow anywhere.
Canāt recommend it enough.
love you all š§”
