Welcome to Travelling While HOT: Support for Women Navigating Hormones, Heat, and the Thrill of Travel.
Welcome! I’m really glad you’re here.
This group is for women who are travelling while navigating perimenopause or menopause — experiencing hormones, mood changes, heat, body shifts, and emotional intensity on the move across different cultures, climates, and countries.

I’ve been travelling full-time for almost five years, and every mile of it has overlapped with perimenopause. Not just the sweating or temperature swings, but the irritability, the sudden frustration, the overwhelm, the stress responses that come out of nowhere — especially when you’re tired, hot, overstimulated, or managing long travel days.
And to top it all off, NOT EVEN realizing many of these challenges were exaggerated BECAUSE of perimenopause NOT because travel life was too intense (which it certainly can be)
Under the best of circumstances we can often overlook or not even associate the start of this journey or these symptoms.
And if you’re travelling with a partner?
Let’s be honest: midlife hormones can strain communication, patience, intimacy, and everyday dynamics. Tiny rooms, tight schedules, unfamiliar environments, cultural differences, humidity, noise, interrupted sleep patterns and constant decision-making all amplify what your body is already trying to process.
And the emotional load is heavier when you’re changing locations and routines constantly.
And all of this is happening while:
• Menopause is barely talked about in many cultures
• Symptoms are dismissed or minimized
• Doctors and their 'diagnosis' vary widely between countries
• Pharmacies carry different products
• You’re far from your usual support system
• You don’t always have someone to ask, “Is this normal?”
That’s why this community exists — because this is a specific, under-supported, and very real experience.
This space is for you if:
• You travel or plan to travel while in peri, menopause, or post
• You need support managing hormones, heat, and mood while exploring the world
• You feel emotionally different on the road (anger, tears, stress, overwhelm)
• Your relationship feels harder to navigate in this season
• You want connection with women who understand this exact overlap of travel + hormones + real life
What you’ll find here:
• Real talk about symptoms — physical, emotional, and relational
• Support for managing mood, irritability, anger spikes, and stress while travelling
• Stories from women navigating this season in all kinds of locations
• Cultural insights on how menopause is seen (or not seen) around the world
• Travel hacks, packing tips, heat management, wellness tools
• Weekly prompts, polls, and community conversations
• A grounded space rooted in respect, honesty, and compassion
To get started, introduce yourself:
👉 Are you in perimenopause, menopause, or post?
👉 Where are you travelling now or heading next?
👉 What’s one symptom or challenge (physical, emotional, or relational) you’d love support with?

You don’t have to navigate this season quietly or alone — not in your home country, and certainly not across the world.
You deserve community, clarity, and connection in every phase of your journey.

I am still in perimenopause. My periods are regular but moods certainly are NOT!
