The Landing Club began as a small group of friends. Women who, in one way or another, had all found themselves starting over in Tampa. Some of us moved here from different countries at different stages of life, some of us were born elsewhere but grew up with families who settled here, and others came from different states within the U.S.

What brought us together was simple: the shared feeling of wanting genuine friendships and community in a city that once felt new. We started meeting for walks, dinners, and coffee — and soon, it became something more: a space where women connect, share experiences, and explore cultures together.

The Landing Club continues to grow as a warm, international circle for women who’ve landed in Tampa, wherever they came from, and wherever they’re headed next.
