FAQ
FAQ

A: Our group is open to women aged 21 and above, which gives us a diverse age range of attendees. From 21-year-olds to 75-year-olds, our events attract a diverse group of women who share a passion for an active lifestyle.

Q: What are shared trip accommodations like?
A: One of the highlights of Baddies trips is the opportunity to stay in luxury homes. This aspect of our trips offers a unique and indulgent experience that allows us to unwind and indulge in comfort. We prioritize location, amenities, and ambiance. we ensure that our homes are nestled in beautiful and serene surroundings, providing the perfect backdrop for our adventures.

Q: What is an "Air Mattress Spot"?
A: I examined the layout of the house and devised a plan that would enable all Baddies, regardless of their financial situation, to enjoy an affordable trip.

Please note that participants are responsible for bringing their own air mattresses and all necessary items.
