AUSTRALIAN WOMENS TRAVEL

Trip numbers

1. Why do you take only six people?

   The group of six is a perfect mix plus us which makes 8. It allows us to get around very easily, without feeling like we are a tour group. We can go to local cafe and pubs and always get tablesand  it's easy for getting taxis. Also this number allows us to give our travellers the attention they deserve.
   

2. What happens if you get less than 6 people booked in do you cancel the trip?

   The minimum number of people we will take is 4. Up to date this has never been an issue. You would be advised if the trip is to be cancelled in plenty of time to make other arrangements. As per our price and refund policy if the trip is cancelled by Orionwomen you would receive a full refund.
   

Rooms

1. How do you work out who shares with whom?

   The first night in Singapore 'Orionwomen' decide who will be staying with whom. This is based on which women have already met each other at one of our pre trip get togethers, mutual interest and age and perhaps if the traveller has indicated that they snore to put them in with another person who also snores. After the first night we leave it to the group to decide. Some groups stay with the same person the whole way through. Others vote to change each time we change accomodation. It totally depends on the group to decide what they would like.We encourage the group to be honest about what would work for them.
   

2. What happens of there are only 5 people and 3 rooms and we have all paid for twin share?

   In that case, we would encourage the group to move each time we changed accomodation, so that everyone got a chance of having the room to themselves. Also keeping in mind that not everyone likes to be on there own especially in a foreign country and others would jump at the chance. As a group we would work this out so that everyone has the opportunity.
   

3. I snore, what do I do?

   Snoring is a part of life. It doesn't seem to matter how old one is it just happens. We really appreciate it if you can tell us of your concerns regarding this, as then we can pair you in a room with another snorer, this helps to make people feel more comfortable and that is definately our goal. Another remedy whilst it may not sound to appealing really works and that is to take earplugs with you to offer anyone you may be sharing with.

   Our goal is to make everyone feel as comfortable as possible
