Welcome to our Zafigo community, a community that inspires, encourages, and empowers women to explore the world on their own or with friends. I hope this finds you all safe and well. It seems incredible how far we’ve come since we began in 2014. Not only have we developed our website to provide you with as much information on the many places to go and how to get there but we’ve also adapted ourselves to the ‘new normal’ that we are all facing today.
While we wait for the travel and tourism industry to recover, we at Zafigo aim to keep your holiday dreams alive with stories and tips to inspire you and suggestions for ways to discover your own country. We also have plans for some exciting events to connect with the Zafigo community, They’ll be fun and informative, and hopefully a great way to meet other women with the same travel dreams as you.
Thank you again for joining us. See you soon!

Ever since I was a little girl, I’d always known I wanted to be a writer. What I didn’t know is that I’d one day lead a team of accomplished, talented, and like-minded creatives who are the very DNA of what the Zafigo woman is. Made up of writers, designers, and strategists, #TeamZafigo are all creators who have the same one aim — to help empower women travel safer, better, and smarter while living their best lives. Here’s a little more about the women who make Zafigo.
