When was the last time you felt inspired to travel?
Was it after reading a book? Watching a movie? Or maybe something else entirely?
Travel has long been celebrated as nourishment for the soul. Research shows that those who travel often are more creative, confident, and resourceful. This workshop is designed for those who feel the pull of wanderlust—and are ready to transform our travel experiences into powerful stories worth sharing.
During this live online workshop, we will:
- Engage in four guided writing exercises to uncover your unique voice
- Reflect on past and present travel experiences with fresh insight
- Explore new techniques to get your creative energy flowing
- Share your writing within a supportive community of international women writers
Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or just dreaming of your next adventure, this workshop offers space to reflect, write, and connect. After completing Pink Pangea workshops, women have written for major publications, launched their own blogs, or continued to write in their journals. Others have simply enjoyed trying something new. All participants will receive a recording of the workshop.

Workshop Reviews
“As I am on this intense but fulfilling journey of self-discovery, finding my soul’s purpose in life has led me to travel writing, as I am a life-long travel enthusiast. Fortunately, this journey has also led me to Pink Pangea. When I saw the information for the workshop titled “A Woman’s Worth”, I instantly knew I had to register.” — Jen Lucas
“This workshop helped me and lit an inner flame, especially as a writer whose passion lies in writing memoirs. Not only did I call both of my grandmothers after this workshop to ask them about life in their 20s, but I took an honest look at myself as my 20s are shortly coming to an end. Have I done enough, have I made my imprint on the world as a woman writer? Are there more stories I have to tell? Thank you, Pink Pangea, for another eye (and heart) opening writing workshop.” — Raquel Reyes
“I came out of it a different person than I went in…[Jaclyn] made us linger in our discomfort long enough to compel us to make a change. In fact, she had to relinquish control in order for it to be a catalyst. That’s a mark of a great teacher.” – Stephen Elliot
