Who We Are

“The Traveling Cougars is a vibrant, no-BS travel community for women in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond who are ready to explore the world, reconnect with themselves, and make unforgettable memories.”

We’re not your average travel club—we’re a pride of confident, fun-loving women who believe life gets better with age (and even better with a cocktail in hand and a beach at our feet).

If you’re solo, newly single, divorced, retired—or just craving something more—you’ve found your people.


What’s a Cougar, Anyway?

You don’t need to date younger men to wear the name proudly.

Being a Cougar means: Confidence, freedom, and living boldly, Traveling for YOU—not someone else, Owning your story, your age, and your spark! 

We believe that women over 40, 50, and 60+ deserve more than tours and to-do lists. We crave laughter, connection, and maybe a few late-night dance parties.

Why We Exist

We started The Traveling Cougars because most group trips just didn’t speak to us—bold, mature women full of life, soul, and sass.

We wanted something more real. More freeing. More fun.

So we built a sisterhood where:

You’re not too old.
You’re not too late.
You’re right on time.
