OUR VALUES
We bring together like-minded women and create unforgettable travel experiences. You’re guaranteed to have fun, make friends and be in a constant state of awe, intrigue and curiosity as together we go on adventures to various destinations around the world.

We are committed to creating a safe space for women from Asian and Ethnic backgrounds to feel valued, a sense of belonging and sisterhood. Our trips have a Muslim ethos; however, we welcome all females. It is our aim that every woman who comes on our trip will leave with a spark in her eyes, seeing the world a little bit brighter. Feeling uplifted, with boosted self-confidence and a bunch of new friends. During our trips we celebrate ourselves, one another, our femininity, and our shared and unique cultures.
My Story
Hi, I’m Sophia Khalid, Founder of Girls Group Holiday
Travel has truly changed my life. From taking a 23-hour train ride through China to singing a Bollywood song on stage in Istanbul, my adventures have shaped me in ways I never could have imagined. These experiences gave me the confidence I’d always lacked, and the friendships I’ve made along the way are now some of my most cherished. Each journey has brought me closer to the world and myself.
In 2016, I founded Girls Group Holiday to share this transformative power of travel with other women, especially those from Asian and ethnic backgrounds. I know the challenges many women face—cultural expectations, fear of traveling alone, or simply not knowing where to start—and I wanted to make it easier for more women to experience the joy and freedom that comes with exploring the world.
I’m so proud of the community we’ve built. Whether you’re an experienced traveler or taking your first big trip I can’t wait to welcome you on this journey. Let’s create unforgettable memories together and discover just how much travel can change your life!
