“I came at a time where I was under so much stress but as soon as I landed in Guatemala is was like it vanished immediately. It was insane in a good way and I left with a clear mind and some new friends. It was my first time traveling alone and I got advice from every single girl there it was literally like a family gathering!” Nov 2021

“Coming to your retreat was one of the best decisions I could have made for myself. Everything was so warm and welcoming- from the charming city of Antigua, to the locals who were happy to share smiles and laughs. I’ll especially always remember how hospitable, caring and genuine you were and the sense of sisterhood you welcomed into our lives. It’s easy to see what brought you back to Guatemala so many times. Thank you for sharing this special piece of your heart with us! Thank you for all the laughs, peace and care you gave each and every one of us. It was truly rejuvenating to be among the likes of you and other incredible women. Your vision that I was blessed enough to experience was definitely one that will leave positive prints in my life trajectory. It was an honour to see firsthand just how many lives you’ve touched. All the best with every vision you decide to pursue.” Dec 2019

“I have traveled to multiple countries and I have been on multiple tours. I have never experienced anything like MuslimTravelCo retreat. I have met Muslim sisters from all over the world. I am 35 years old and I thought I might be a bit too old for this group. But I had some of the most interesting conversations with all of the girls during this trip including our youngest member who is 18 years old. I would highly recommend this retreat to all of the Muslim sisters out there as there is nothing like it. It makes you feel closer to Allah as you experience the beauty of Guatemala and meet Guatemalan people, who are some of the sweetest people I have met. I highly recommend this retreat for your mental, physical and spiritual health.” Dec 2019

Fatimah W., Humanitarian Field Coordinator (Georgia)
“It would be a cliché to say ‘home is where the heart is’ but I truly felt like guatemala, the culture and the Guatemalan people were home. You and your team took such good care of us and met our needs. The opportunity of meeting beautiful ladies from all over the world and exploring the beautiful sceneries and key aspects of Antigua together was a true blessing in itself. Each soul I met on this trip has forever imprinted their mark on my heart and enlightened my thoughts. I am very grateful to have had the privilege to travel from afar to experience this and I’m still nostalgic over it. Whoever plans to join muslimahtravelco will not regret it. It really makes you acknowledge how much unity and empowerment Muslim women have when they come together” Dec 2019

“The Muslimah Wellness Retreat is still on my mind. I can’t stop talking about it! If I close my eyes I can still feel the fresh air of the Guatemalan mountains. Anila & Luisa made sure everything was seamless providing a safe and beautiful environment for our stay. You can’t put a price on this one of a kind retreat. I thoroughly enjoyed all the activities while receiving an education in sustainable Guatemalan women owned businesses as well as understanding the needs of the indigenous communities. The people of Guatemala received us with open arms often asking us to take pictures admiring those in hijab. I loved the diverse group of young women in attendance. We were all different but the same in our Islamic sisterhood. We took part in creative, adventurous and spiritual moments that will forever stay with me.” Dec 2019
