Meet The Woman behind the Bookshelf

Hi and Welcome! My name is Tonya - a lifelong book lover, solo travel enthusiast, cat mom and the heart behind Adventures Beyond the Bookshelf. With a passport in one hand and a novel in the other, I’ve always believed the best stories don’t just live on pages — they’re waiting to be lived in the world around us.

As a solo female traveler, I’ve found strength, healing, friendships and endless inspiration through reading and traveling. I created this book travel club to bring together kindred spirits: Women who crave meaningful connections, crave wanderlust-fueled adventures, and believe in the magic of getting lost in a story, and following those adventures into real life.

Adventures Beyond the Bookshelf is more than just a book club. It’s a movement to:

  • Create a safe all inclusive space for women

  • Champion independent bookstores.

  • Support small businesses

  • Immerse ourselves in global cultures inspired by the novels we read.

Together, we will turn pages, book flights, and build a supportive community that celebrates curiosity, courage and sisterhood.

Let’s read. Let’s roam. Let’s write our own unforgettable stories together.

Ready to bring stories to life? Choose your adventure and join us inside.

“Kindred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think. It’s splendid to find out there are so many of them in the world.” —L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
