Trip Her Out started because I kept having the same conversation. Smart women, good jobs, passports that had barely been used. Not because they did not want to travel. They wanted to travel badly. But there was always something: the cost felt too high, no one to go with, the destination felt unfamiliar, the visa process seemed complicated, the fear that something would go wrong and there would be no one to help.
Trip Her Out is the series I made in response to that conversation. Not motivational content. Practical content. The exact steps for the things that actually stop people.
What the Series Covers
The series covers the real barriers. How to travel solo for the first time without it feeling overwhelming. How to convince yourself (and sometimes your family) that solo travel is safe. How to find travel friends when your existing friends are not at that stage. How to research a destination properly instead of just looking at Instagram. How to negotiate with airlines, hotels, and your own brain when something goes wrong.
There is also a recurring theme around travelling as a Black woman and as a woman with a Nigerian or African passport. The practical realities are different and the content reflects that. You will not find generic advice here about how travel is easy and you should just book it.
Why It Resonated
The response to Trip Her Out surprised me. Women sharing it with their group chats, tagging friends who had been saying they wanted to travel for years, DMs from people who booked something for the first time after watching a specific episode. Travel content is everywhere. What was missing was content that spoke directly to the specific hesitations that a specific group of women have.
How EscapiQ Connects
EscapiQ exists because of exactly the same insight. The women who join our group trips are mostly travelling in a group for the first time, often solo for the first time, sometimes to a destination they would never have considered without the structure of a properly planned trip. The group format removes most of the barriers that Trip Her Out talks about. You do not need to figure out where to go, who to go with, what the visa situation is, or what to do when something goes wrong. We have done that. You just show up.
The full series is on TikTok. New episodes drop regularly.
