Signature European Adventures
Europe, Beyond the Expected. Unforgettable by Design.
The iconic must-sees. The remarkable finds. The moments that bring Europe to life.
Explore Europe through authentic, small-group European adventures that bring together celebrated landmarks, exceptional food and wine, fascinating history, living culture, breathtaking landscapes and the unexpected pleasures that make a place unforgettable.
Europe is my speciality. Getting to the ROOT of every destination is my philosophy. I’m Wanda Srdoc, Founder of ROOT44 Travel, European Destination Designer and your personal on-site host. For more than six years, I’ve combined in-depth research, trusted regional relationships and a discerning eye for what makes a place special to create adventures that go beyond the familiar. From emerging culinary talent and accomplished artisans to tucked-away treasures and fresh perspectives on iconic places, I seek out what others might overlook. Whether you’re visiting Europe for the first time or returning to a beloved region, I bring the knowledge, connections and personal care to make your time there truly count.
Women-exclusive adventures, alongside small-group travel for everyone. As a woman-owned business with a particular passion and expertise in designing travel for women, ROOT44 welcomes solo women and friends travelling together on women-exclusive departures, as well as couples, friends and families on open small-group adventures. Every itinerary balances discovery and adventure with comfort, connection and the reassurance of having an experienced host by your side.
Well-Valued Luxury. Authentic by nature. Eco-conscious by design. Distinctive boutique stays, exceptional dining, intimate tastings, knowledgeable local specialists and meaningful encounters are selected for their quality, character and value. I prioritise independent local businesses, regional producers and skilled artisans who sustain the traditions and spirit of their communities. With carefully considered inclusions—and one meal each day left open for your own culinary explorations—you can enjoy a richly rewarding European adventure without paying for unnecessary extravagance.
The difference is how you feel along the way. The exhilaration of a spectacular view, the pleasure of a memorable meal, a conversation that offers a new perspective, or an unplanned moment that becomes the story you tell for years. From our first conversation to your return home, my aim is for you to feel welcomed, well cared for and free to savour every moment.
A Women-Exclusive Signature Collection
Wander Deeply. Dine Exquisitely. Do Europe Brilliantly.
Spring 2027: Two Adventures, One Unforgettable Spring
For the past six years, a beautiful, organic pattern has shaped ROOT44 Travel: over 80% of our signature small-group travellers have been women. As a woman-owned business, listening to this community became my greatest inspiration and completely warranted the creation of a dedicated space just for you. Today, we make that official with WandaWomen Adventures—women-exclusive signature tours designed to offer the absolute luxury and intimacy of a private circle, without the logistics or expense of a private package.
We named this collection WandaWomen with a purposeful nod to the "Wonder Women" we host—the independent solo female travellers and friends over 50 who have spent decades achieving, giving, and living vibrantly. It also happens to reflect my own dynamic role as your Founder, European Experience Designer, and on-site Host.
We don’t buy generic corporate templates off a shelf, and we don’t pass you off to strangers. I use my multi-generational European roots and deep, trusted local network to meticulously craft these journeys myself. Every single itinerary beautifully balances rich cultural discovery and active adventure with boutique comfort, deep personal connection, and the absolute reassurance of having an experienced, knowledgeable host by your side at every turn.
Explore our latest 2027 departures for WandaWomen Adventures below. Whether you are arriving with a lifelong friend or joining us as an independent solo explorer, a seat at our table is waiting for you. Come experience the hidden coves, the forest truffle hunts, and the effortless, sun-drenched laughter that makes travel truly unforgettable.
