From Impulse to Adventure: Dr. Jo’s First Solo All Girls Group Trip to Turkey with Jugni

For many women, the first step into solo travel feels overwhelming — where to go, who to trust, how to stay safe. For Sarah, affectionately called Dr. Jo, that first step came in the most unexpected way: a spontaneous “yes” to Jugni’s Turkey journey.
When an Impulse Becomes the Best Decision

There was no checklist, no detailed planning. Just one conversation with Jugni’s founder, and Dr. Jo was convinced. Sometimes the best adventures begin not with logic, but with instinct.

Discovering Turkey, the Jugni Way

Istanbul’s bustling bazaars, Cappadocia’s surreal landscapes, and the magic of hot air balloons at sunrise — Turkey offered the perfect mix of culture and wonder. But beyond the views, what made this trip special was the way Jugni handled every detail: from answering the smallest packing questions to ensuring smooth, stress-free days.

The Assurance of Safety

Like most first-time women travellers, safety was her biggest concern. But as she later shared, not once did she feel unsafe — not in hotels, not in city streets, not even during late-night conversations with fellow Jugnis. That peace of mind allowed her to be fully present in the moment.

Travel That Feels Personal

Dr. Jo’s biggest takeaway was how Jugni’s trips never feel “touristy.” The hosts don’t just manage logistics — they create experiences. It’s about finding hidden gems, keeping the energy warm, and making sure every traveller feels seen. Even when challenges came up, the trip never lost its rhythm.

Her Advice for First-Timers

If you’re hesitating on your first international women’s group trip, Dr. Jo says: don’t. Sometimes spontaneity leads you to the most memorable journeys. With the right company, even an impulsive decision can feel like the safest one you ever made.
