Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you say YES.
-
1. What exactly is group solo travel?
Think of it as the best of both worlds! DWELL brings independent travelers together in one destination, offering the comfort of community without the pressure of a traditional group itinerary. We'll share a few intentional experiences, but you'll have plenty of time to explore, relax, and make the trip your own.
2. Do I have to participate in every activity?
Not at all! Your time belongs to you. Outside of essential group logistics, activities are optional unless otherwise specified. Whether you want to explore the city, spend the day at the beach, or simply enjoy your hotel, you're free to choose.
3. What if I've never traveled solo before?
Then you're exactly the kind of traveler DWELL was created for! You don't need solo travel experience to join us. DWELL provides a welcoming starting point for women who want to explore independently while knowing there's a community nearby.
4. Will I have my own hotel room?
DWELL experiences are designed with personal space and independence in mind. Room arrangements and available accommodation options will be clearly outlined before reservations open.

5. Are flights included?
No. Travelers are responsible for booking their own flights, giving you the flexibility to choose your preferred airline, departure city, and travel schedule. We'll provide arrival guidance to help you plan.
6. Do we have to arrive and depart together?
Not necessarily! We'll communicate recommended arrival and departure windows, along with any scheduled group transportation. You're welcome to travel on your own schedule, but you may need to arrange your own transfers if you arrive outside designated times.
7. What's included in the DWELL experience fee?
Your experience fee supports the planning, coordination, hosting, and curated elements of your trip. Specific inclusions, accommodations, activities, and additional expenses will be outlined on each destination's booking page before you make a reservation.
8. How do reservations and payments work?
When reservations open, you'll be able to review the complete experience details, pricing, payment schedule, and booking terms before committing. Joining our interest list is free and does not reserve a spot.

9. Is DWELL only for women who are traveling alone?
DWELL is designed for women who value independent travel, but you don't have to arrive without knowing anyone! Friends are welcome to join, provided everyone embraces the spirit of group solo travel: connection without obligation and freedom to explore independently.
10. Is DWELL a fully guided tour?
No, and that's intentional! DWELL is not designed around a packed, start-to-finish itinerary. We provide a thoughtfully curated experience, opportunities for connection, and space for you to explore independently. Travelers are responsible for their own decisions and activities during free time.
