Who Are We – The Ibiza Sisters?
In this blog post, we share our journey of friendship, freedom, and solo travel. Two friends on different paths united through our love for Ibiza, adventure, Dreams and independence.
A Journey to Freedom, Friendship, and Inspiration
Hola, I´m Julia from Austria. Three years ago, when I flew to Ibiza for a vacation alone, I never imagined I would end up there for a whole year. My life had fallen apart when I first landed in Ibiza, and I decided to let go of my long-term partner, family, apartment in Austria—basically everything—to move there.
Ibiza - my safe place
Ibiza became my sanctuary during one of the most challenging times of my life. My heart was broken, and I had to learn to be on my own for the first time in my adult life. From a spiritual awakening and wild states of consciousness to some of the most beautiful moments, as well as the most challenging period of my life, I experienced it all. Ibiza invites you to look deep within and confronts you with your core wounds. There’s no hiding there—you have to face yourself and truly see who you are.
In the past few years, I’ve been working on becoming my own home, feeling safe and secure within myself to go solo traveling. In November 2024, I started my second world trip and flew to Bali, but unfortunately, my health forced me to come back to Europe.
Life takes so many unexpected turns and honestly: it never felt better!
I´m trusting and surrendering to god more than ever because, at the end of the day,
there is always divine guidance behind everything.
From Solo-travelling to self-discovery
Holi! I´m Ariane from Germany. You could say that I’m on the opposite of Julia’s current journey – one that’s teaching me to let go, trust, and embrace the connection with others.
While Julia is strengthening her independence, I am trying to reduce the travel nomad lifestyle after years of working as a flight attendant and traveling the world in every spare minute I could get, to give other people in my life a chance to help and guide me (Despite my love for doing EVERYTHING myself…).
But where there’s a will, there’s a way, and looking back on all the challenges that I have faced and conquered in the past, whether it was walking up the hills to Dalt villa every day with a broken foot and crotches or having no money left, despite working three jobs on the island. Each struggle shaped me into the woman I am today. These experiences made me stronger and more resilient, and for that, I am deeply grateful.
Still, as I reflect, I can’t help but wish I’d had someone to guide me as I took my first bold steps into the world. Because of this, I am happy to provide assistance and guidance to all of you wonderful souls out there who want to take a look over the horizon of everyday life.
First advice: Take a bold step and jump! In the meantime, we are here for you <3
A Friendship Without Limits
Our friendship is living proof that deep connections don’t require physical proximity to thrive. Over the course of a year, despite meeting in person only three times, we’ve built an unwavering bond through phone calls, messages, and shared thoughts. It’s incredible how much strength can grow from such a connection. We support each other, have each other’s backs, and give each other the courage to tackle our own challenges.
Sometimes, this kind of friendship is exactly what we’re missing in our busy lives. Who hasn’t experienced it? After a disappointing date, a bad day, or a tough decision, your first thought is to reach out to the friend who understands you best. Her words lift you up, bring clarity, and restore your confidence. Yet many forget how important it is to nurture these friendships actively. In today’s digital world, we tend to isolate ourselves, believing that social media can replace genuine connection. But the truth is, without real relationships, loneliness only deepens.
The Birth of an Idea
The idea for our brand was born almost by accident – in a moment so natural that we almost overlooked it and yet we knew that we will be business partners one day. During one of our calls, we realized we wanted to create a platform that inspires and connects women, who love Ibiza or want to explore (Solo) Traveling.
More Than a Brand – A Movement
In addition to our travel guides, we will be expanding the brand with products that bring the essence of travel and Ibiza into everyday life as well as planned trips/retreats. Get ready for some excited things.
With love,
Your Ibiza Sisters.
Julia & Ariane
