About Boarding & Bubbly

Where Adventure Meets Friendship

Welcome to Boarding & Bubbly—a travel community created exclusively for women 40+ who believe life's best adventures are still ahead.

Whether you've always dreamed of wandering the streets of Italy, watching the sunset in Greece, exploring charming villages, or simply taking that trip you've been putting off for years, you're in the right place.

Here, you don't have to wait for the "perfect time" or the "right travel partner." You simply need a sense of adventure.

Why I Created Boarding & Bubbly

Hi, I'm Melissa.

Like many women, I've spent years focusing on work, family, and taking care of everyone else. Along the way, I realized something important—there are still so many places I want to see and experiences I want to have.

I also discovered that many women feel the same way. They want to travel, but don't always have someone to go with or feel comfortable planning a solo adventure.

That's why I created Boarding & Bubbly.

I wanted to build more than a travel club. I wanted to create a welcoming community where women can connect, make genuine friendships, and explore the world together with confidence.

Because the best souvenirs aren't the things we buy—they're the memories we make and the people we share them with.

Our Vision

To inspire women 40+ to embrace adventure, discover new destinations, and build lasting friendships through unforgettable travel experiences.
