These 2026 intentions are for women who want to travel, heal, and take up Space. This year doesn’t need another list telling women to shrink, hustle harder, or become a “better version” of themselves. We’re not interested in resolutions that punish us. We’re here for intentions that support us, intentions rooted in joy, healing, curiosity, rest, and a bit of audacity.
2026 is about moving with purpose and softness. About booking the trip and honoring the boundaries. About dreaming big while staying grounded in who we already are.
Why Intentions Matter
Our 2026 intentions aren’t about controlling the year, they’re about guiding it. For women and female travelers, intentions help us navigate a world that often tells us where we can go, how we should look, and how much space we’re allowed to take.
This year, we’re choosing intention over pressure. Curiosity over comparison and alignment over approval. These 2026 intentions are for women who are done waiting for permission. Take what you need, leave what you don’t, and revisit this list anytime the year feels loud.
Our 2026 Intentions
1. Travel without waiting for the “perfect” body, budget, or timing.
The world is happening now, and so are we.
2. Say yes to trips that feel aligned and no to ones that feel draining.
Just because it’s Instagrammable doesn’t mean it’s meant to be.
3. Pack comfort and confidence.
Cute shoes, backup shoes, snacks, meds, and self-respect, always.
4. Let rest be productive.
Burnout is not a badge of honor, and naps are not a personality flaw.
5. Romanticize our everyday lives, not just vacations.
A good cup of coffee counts. A quiet walk counts. Surviving a hard week definitely counts.
6. Heal out loud and quietly, as needed.
We don’t owe anyone our process, but we do owe ourselves honesty.
7. Build work lives that don’t require us to abandon ourselves.
Success should not cost our health, joy, or peace.
8. Invest in friendships that feel mutual, not obligatory.
Love that feels light is still deep.
9. Ask for help without apologizing.
In work, travel, family, friendships—support is not a weakness.
10. Travel in ways that respect local communities, cultures, and ourselves.
Ethical, thoughtful travel is part of the journey.
11. Stop shrinking in family spaces where we’ve outgrown old roles.
Growth doesn’t mean disconnection, it means evolution.
12. Celebrate our bodies for what they allow us to experience.
Beaches, planes, hugs, laughter, rest. Our bodies are not the problem.
13. Let joy be loud and grief be honored.
Both can exist. Neither needs to be rushed.
14. Create more than we consume.
Stories, memories, art, laughter, impact.
15. Trust that we are allowed to change, want more, and different.
New dreams don’t erase old ones; they expand them.
Take This With You
You don’t need to follow every intention perfectly; feel free to make them your own. You don’t need to “catch up” if the year starts messily. You’re allowed to change your mind, re-route, and rest along the way. Wherever 2026 takes you, physically or emotionally, we hope you go knowing you belong.
