Your Questions About Dare Guides, Answered
I've been getting so many wonderful questions about the Dare Guides membership since we launched, and it warms my heart! There's nothing I love more than connecting with fellow adventurous spirits who are ready to explore the world in their own authentic way. Today, I thought I'd take a moment to address the questions that keep coming up, as I want you to feel completely confident about whether Dare Guides is the right fit for your travel dreams.
Who is Dare Guides really for?
This membership is perfect for those who love to explore, dream about travel, or just want to simplify trip planning without sacrificing authenticity. Whether you're a seasoned traveler who's tired of the same old "top 5 must-sees" lists, or you're just starting to venture out and want guidance you can trust, the Dare Guides are here to inspire and support your journey.
I created this for women like you—women who crave real experiences over Instagram moments, who want to feel like locals rather than tourists, and who understand that the best adventures often happen when you step away from the crowds. If you've ever found yourself overwhelmed by generic travel advice or intimidated by solo travel planning, this community is your safe haven.
What exactly do you get with the membership?
Your Dare Guides membership is like having a well-traveled girlfriend who's done all the research for you! Here's what's included:
Off-the-Beaten Path Itineraries Around the World – Every month, you'll receive expertly crafted travel guides for beautiful destinations that go far beyond the typical tourist traps. These aren't just lists of places; they're thoughtfully curated experiences designed specifically for female travelers.
Monthly Community Coffee Chats – This is where the magic really happens! Join me live each month for intimate 30-minute conversations where we dive deep into destinations, share travel stories, and you can ask all your burning questions. Can't make it live? No worries—recordings are always available.
Budgeting Tools for Travel – Let's be honest, money shouldn't be the barrier to your dreams. I've partnered with my personal financial planner, Harriet Chase from Aspen Grove Wealth Management, to create resources that help you save smartly for your adventures.
Product Recommendations Specifically for Women – From the perfect travel underwear to the books that will transform your journey, I share my most trusted recommendations with complete transparency.
Bonus for Annual Members – Choose the yearly option and you'll get a complimentary 45-minute one-on-one consultation call with me! We can dive into personalized trip planning or even chat about entrepreneurship questions if that's calling to you.
How often are new guides released?
One brand new guide every single month! I know how exciting it is to have fresh inspiration regularly, so you can count on discovering a new destination on the same date each month. Whether it's the rugged beauty of Scotland's North Coast 500 or the vibrant souks of Marrakech, there's always a new adventure waiting for you.
What does the membership cost?
Here's what I love about this: for just $7 a month—literally the cost of your favorite latte—you get access to everything I mentioned above. If you're ready to commit to a year of adventures, you can pay $77 annually and save some money in the process.
I chose this price intentionally because I believe transformative travel shouldn't be a luxury reserved for the wealthy. This is about making expertly curated travel guidance accessible to women who are ready to prioritize their own adventures.
What if you're not planning to travel to the featured destinations?
This question makes me smile because it shows you're thinking practically, and I appreciate that! Even if Morocco or the Dolomites aren't on your immediate radar, there's tremendous value in being part of this community.
You'll gain access to discounts with our partner brands, those monthly coffee chats where we discuss travel strategies that apply anywhere, and my curated recommendations for books, gear, and resources that will enhance any journey you take. Plus, you'll be connected with other adventurous women who might just inspire your next unexpected detour!
When are the Coffee Chats?
I host them once a month, typically toward the end of the month at 10:30 AM Mountain Standard Time. I chose this time because it works well for most of us across different time zones, and there's something magical about mid-morning conversations when our minds are clear and our coffee cups are full.
Will you actually meet other members?
Absolutely! The monthly virtual coffee chats are where our community comes alive. You'll meet fellow Daring Darlings from all walks of life who share your passion for authentic travel. And here's something exciting—members get early access and exclusive savings on Dare to Detour retreats, so there might be opportunities to connect in person at future adventures too.
The connections formed in this community go far beyond travel tips. We're creating a network of women supporting women, sharing not just destination advice but life wisdom, courage, and inspiration.
Ready to join the adventure?
If you've read this far, I have a feeling your heart is already saying yes. Trust that instinct! The world is vast and beautiful, and there are so many incredible experiences waiting for you. Let's explore them together, with the confidence that comes from expert guidance and the joy that comes from authentic community. I hope you check out these special guides. I put my heart into them each month!
