Here at Girlstravelclub.co.uk we believe that just because you are travelling light, it doesn’t mean you don’t want to travel beautifully! Using our experience of backpacking and travelling all over the world we have put together a collection of lovely yet useful things, sourced as ethically as possible.

Our own brand products are SLS, SLES and parabens free, and where possible we only use organic ingredients; nothing we sell has been tested on animals, and we try to use fair-trade producers where possible.

We aim to recycle as much as possible, to offset the cost of the carbon emissions we create during our travels, and to try and put something back into the communities whose hospitality we have enjoyed! We are also delighted to be able to support Plan International UK, and the Love In A Box Christmas Appeal.

Meet the Team!

Girls' Travel Club was started by Becci Coombes Burr (below), following two long trips backpacking around the world. She wrote a journal full of tips, recipes, anecdotes and bad jokes while she was travelling and kept notes of all the remedies she found useful.

She was also frustated by the lack of beautiful and useful things for female travellers and holidaymakers, and was very aware how people who have not travelled before get sucked into buying a 100 litre rucksack full of things they'll never use,  or that are full of nasty chemicals and additives! Hopefully we can change all that, and keep you safe and healthy at the same time!

Likes; tea, swimming in rivers.

Taba (below) is our Marketing and PR Queen, and deals with press enquiries, competitions and looking after all our online marketing.

Likes; distressing already quite upset furniture.

Angy (below) is our chief product tester as she is always to about to embark on one charity project or another abroad, from rural Serbia to the wilds of Uganda to the fjords of frozen Norway. What she doesn't know about procuring chocolate abroad isn't worth knowing.

Likes; Max Bygraves, Skodas.

This is Tim. He likes to style himelf VP of glass ceiling/blue sky synergistics. This basically means he wanders in, has a chat to Taba and eats all the biscuits.

Likes; his iPhone, Batman, biscuits (especially those M and S chocolate shortbreads).

Dan is our resident handyman, and does lots of useful things like putting up shelves and marquees and driving around in a big white van. If you can hear loud music on the A34 it's probably him.

Likes; Mars ice creams, Transformers. 

Lara is our Despatch Fairy, and is head of the pick and packing zone..... what she doesn't know about pet chickens isn't worth knowing!

Likes; all animals and birds, spiders, bees, all of God's creatures. Dislikes cucumbers, roast lamb.

Janet is our top financial whizz, and makes sure that Becci doesn't spend too much on teabags. Does sterling work for charity.
