Starting in 1946, following World War II, Shoghi Effendi drew up plans for the American (US and Canada) Baháʼí community to send pioneers to Europe. Delaying her personal Baháʼí pilgrimage, Baker undertook a trip in 1948 across Europe. She visited Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, and Portugal (where she again visited her daughter.) See Baháʼí Faith in Europe.
