Shopping and tips for female travellers at Girlstravelclub.co.uk
For peripatetic females, who are pondering their next backpacking trip or simply heading off on their hols, Girlstravelclub.co.uk (GTC) is a valuable resource. This new online boutique for female travellers specializes in beautifully designed and carefully selected travel essentials, particularly fair trade, recycled, environmentally responsible and ethically produced goods. If you choose to venture onto this site you will find useful goodies such as: DEET free insect repellents, natural remedies and essential oils, organic personal care products (including essential sun protection lotions), hemp travel bags, vintage wash bags and much more.
If that wasn’t enough the GTC website features useful information and tips on packing and personal safety, the opportunity to book on courses that teach you travel skills and first aid and perhaps most importantly (or perhaps not!), explains how to play a variety of games, including the staple travellers card game S*** Head. Ah, it brings back memories of my backpacking days in Australia.
GTC was established by backpacker Becci Coombes and operates from the heart of the rural Sussex countryside. After two backpacking trips around the world Becci noticed the distinctly the lacklustre information and advice available for female travellers and set about filling this niche.
For carbon-offsetting scheme fans, GTC is linked with Climate Care, offering customers the opportunity to offset the carbon footprint of their delivery and travels.
So, for all the wandering women out there (ooh er), no more fretting about packing allowed, instead take a look at Girlstravelclub.co.uk.
