EcoLuxLuv Communications & Marketing Inc. (ELL Comms) is pleased to announce a non-exclusive 2026 partnership with The Solo Travel Collection (TSTC), a women-led travel community founded by Nadine Paulo. The collaboration will encompass four eco-luxury journeys across Finland, Costa Rica, the Azores, and Egypt, each thoughtfully designed at the intersection of sustainability and refined global exploration.

The Solo Travel Collection was born from a clear and pressing necessity: to create safe, supportive spaces for women who wish to explore the world independently, yet not alone. Recognizing that many women desire meaningful travel experiences without compromising personal safety, comfort, or connection, Gaspar built TSTC as a trusted community where women can gather, journey, and grow together. Each itinerary is intentionally crafted with small groups, trusted hosts, stylish accommodations, and immersive local experiences that prioritize both security and soulful enrichment.
This mission resonated deeply with Helen Siwak, Founder of ELL Comms and Publisher of Folio.YVR Luxury Lifestyle Magazine. As a long-time advocate for intentional living, sustainable luxury, and women-led entrepreneurship, Siwak immediately recognized the alignment between TSTC’s purpose-driven travel model and Folio.YVR’s editorial mandate. The shared commitment to cultivating empowering environments, elevating conscious experiences, and building community through thoughtful storytelling forms the foundation of this 2026 collaboration.

“This partnership aligns seamlessly with Folio.YVR’s mandate to elevate experiences that are both aspirational and responsible,” says Helen Siwak. “Our audience seeks travel that is immersive, culturally respectful, and sustainability-minded without compromising on luxury. The Solo Travel Collection embodies that balance beautifully. Together, we are showcasing travel as a transformative investment in both self and planet.”

“I created The Solo Travel Collection because I wanted women to feel brave enough to book the trip,” says Nadine Paulo, Founder and CEO of The Solo Travel Collection. “Travel changed my life in my twenties. It pushed me, healed me, and opened doors I did not even know existed. I wanted to build something that makes that first step easier — a space where women can explore boldly, feel completely supported, and come home with new friendships and a stronger sense of who they are. These journeys are adventurous, intentional, and full of heart.”
Together, the 2026 series positions eco-luxury travel not as a trend, but as a purposeful way forward.
