Saskatchewan and across Canada.
Each trip will have its own private
Facebook group so everyone can say
hello and swap tips before the trip.
Tours offer a financial incentive
as well: With a “guaranteed share”
option, you can be paired

of similar age and
interests to share a
room and avoid
single-supplement
fees. You can

get to know one

own room or bring along another
woman to bunk with. “You’re welcome
to bring your own roommate—maybe

through travel and
friendship.”

Women Xplorers. The

accommodations where you can relax
at the end of the day.

of all ages and backgrounds,” Erixon
says. “For various reasons, they find
themselves searching for travel com-
panions that share a common interest.
That’s what Women Xplorers is all
