We love walking alongside women and creating experiences where courage has room to grow and creativity can come alive.

There’s something powerful that happens when we choose to live bravely; when we say yes to adventure, lean into creativity, and show up with open hearts.

In doing so, we often find each other in unexpected and deeply meaningful ways. New experiences have a way of shifting our perspective — they invite us to see the world with fresh eyes, and in turn, help us return home with a renewed sense of clarity, purpose, and wonder. We believe that connection sparks creativity, and creativity deepens connection. We’re passionate about offering both through the journeys we share with the women who join us.

FOUNDER

Emily “EMYO” Ozier

I’ve loved going on adventures for years, and the thing is, I’ve discovered that traveling with other women is my very favorite way to journey. I’ve been on safari in South Africa, shared the best Indian meal in Dar Es Salaam, gathered sea-glass in Positano, ferried across Hong Kong’s bay, hunted vintage treasures in the flea markets of Paris, and lunched at lemon farms on the Amalfi coast. And yet, the real magic has always been in the margins of these adventures—the early mornings with journals in hand, the laughter over late-night card games, and the stories that carry us long after we return home.

When we, as women, choose to live BRAVE and seek both creativity and adventure, we find each other in ways we didn’t even know we needed. Travel makes the world look new, and when we see with new eyes, we come back changed, with fresh perspective on our lives at home.

As the daughter of a Cuban American, much of my art and love for experiencing other cultures comes from my Spanish roots. Every school notebook growing up was filled with sketches and studies of life around me, and those early drawings became the foundation for the painting that now fills so much of my life and my studio walls. In addition to art and travel, my days are kept wonderfully full with six children, plenty of love, and always a good book nearby.

CO-FOUNDER

Emily Holmes

Wedding photographer by day, studio assistant by night—and now travel & event planner in the margins! I’m here to make sure you feel cared for and that logistics stay smooth both before and during our travels. My favorite part of this role is taking care of the details so you don’t have to—whether that’s making sure flights are booked, dinners are reserved, or that there’s a little extra breathing room built into the schedule.

I’ve always believed that traveling and experiencing other cultures is a powerful way to be reminded of how small we are in the very best sense. It humbles us, inspires gratitude, and opens our eyes to perspectives we may never have considered before. Sharing that experience with groups of women has been such a gift. I love the way laughter, conversations on the road, and shared wonder weave together memories that last long after the trip is over.

When I’m not behind the camera or planning our next adventure, you’ll find me keeping up with my energetic boys, investing in my community and sourcing little happies for our trips. When you’re packing, don’t forget to leave a little room in that suitcase—you’ll be glad you did!
