Maryland Travel Company Faces Backlash After Stranding 70 Women in France
Travelers claim Maryland firm left 70 women stranded in France and delayed refunds. Investigation underway as complaints grow.
POLICY WIRE — Washington, D.C. — A Maryland-based travel company has come under fire after reports surfaced that more than 70 women were left stranded in France following an unexpected trip cancellation, with some still waiting for promised refunds.
The incident involves Younique Ventures, a Charles County-based company owned by Kendra and Kelvin Brown. Customers who participated in the “Goddess Refresh Experience” said they were abruptly cut short from their luxury European trip, leaving them to arrange their own return flights and accommodations at their own expense.

Travelers described being told by Kendra Brown that a flight disruption forced the early termination of the trip. While the company claims it made the difficult decision to end the experience early to avoid splitting the group, customers say they were not adequately informed or supported. Some have since filed complaints, with one traveler reporting she paid nearly $30,000 for an upcoming Australia and Fiji trip but received no confirmations and was ignored by the company as the departure date approached.
