Fat Girls Traveling Tours (FGTT) is redefining travel with luxurious, wellness-centered, and deeply immersive travel experiences designed for those with a passion for exploration. Founded by award-winning travel creator and body-positive advocate Annette Richmond, FGTT transforms group travel into a heartfelt celebration of connection and comfort. We proudly elevate the voices of those too often overlooked by traditional tours, making every journey a powerful opportunity for confidence, belonging, and personal growth.
What Makes Our Trips Special
At the heart of our company is a commitment to radical inclusivity. We meticulously curate every itinerary to provide accessible luxury and foster meaningful connections. Our diverse offerings include charming boutique stays and luxurious five-star hotels, accompanied by private guides and enriching local experiences that celebrate each destination’s unique culture and history. We’re working directly with local travel partners and increasing our global impact. Our bespoke trips and retreats are meticulously curated for comfort and connection.
Some of the considerations we make for our guests that other tour companies ignore:
We avoid activities with weight limitations.
We thoroughly research all of our activities and communicate accessibility barriers.
We are intentional about minimizing stairs for travelers with limited mobility.
We provide extra space in private transportation so that our guests travel in comfort.
We proudly partner with businesses that cater to marginalized communities.
Whether you’re chasing the mesmerizing Northern Lights in Iceland, discovering medicinal plants in Guatemala with knowledgeable midwives, or immersing yourself in the vibrant landscapes of Tanzania, every trip is tailored to be safe, unforgettable, and uniquely yours.
Unpacking Our Trips
All of our trips are immersive, community focused, and have elements of wellness, including prioritizing slow travel and including rest days. Our bespoke trips can be broken up in three categories:
Group Tour
Our Group Tours are open to all travelers and perfect for couples, besties, and families.
Retreats
The Retreats are exclusively for plus size women and especially healing for mother-daughter duos.
Fat Camp
Our award-winning Fat Camp is a fat-positive wellness retreat for fat women and loved by solo travelers.
FGTT is more than a travel company; it’s a vibrant wellness and community initiative. Unlike our Group Tours, which have multiple daily events and activities. Our Retreats serve as safe spaces for plus-size women to rest, play, and travel boldly without compromise. All confirmed travelers are invited to our private Network community, where they can ask questions and connect with other members of the trip before it begins.
Why You Should Travel With Us
Whether you’re attending a women’s Retreat, embracing rest at Fat Camp, or exploring the world with a diverse group of travelers of all shapes, sizes, and gender identities, Fat Girls Traveling Tours is dedicated to creating experiences that blend comfort, joy, cultural richness, and empowerment. True luxury transcends accommodations; it’s about how you feel, how you connect with others, and who you become along the way. With Fat Girls Traveling Tours, you’re invited to embark on limitless adventures and discover the world in a whole new light.

Indulge in a revitalizing sauna experience, embrace the tranquility of forest bathing, savor exquisite farm-to-table dining, engage in joyful movement activities, and participate in enriching self-care workshops. Plus, capture unforgettable moments during our themed photo shoot.
Japan | October 19 – 27, 2026
You’re invited to spend the hidden season with us in Tokyo and Kyoto, Japan. For ease of air travel, this fall adventure begins and ends in Tokyo.

Thailand | November 19 – 27, 2026
Our 9-day Thailand journey blends the electric energy of Bangkok with the serenity of Chiang Mai, balancing iconic highlights with authentic, behind-the-scenes experiences.
