Tour Operator
During the three and a half decades I’ve spent traveling the world, one driving passion has been a constant: I believe travel is one of the greatest tools we have for promoting world peace and understanding among cultures.
After spending three years as a Peace Corps Volunteer in West Africa, I chose to follow my “travel path” by pioneering adventure travel options for women. Planning trips that enable groups of women to travel together safely and in comfort is my way of making a contribution. Group travel for women not only connects us with others, but also helps us better understand ourselves and the collective consciousness of the world.
Why “women only”? Because women in any culture relish the freedom to experience new things away from limiting, societal expectations. We have a unique sense of discovery, an unabashed curiosity, the easy ability to laugh at ourselves and the capacity to create a non-competitive environment of support and encouragement for each other. Under these circumstances, women feel free to challenge themselves with a trek up a mountain, learning to snorkel or scuba dive, or immersion into an unfamiliar culture. On an all-women’s trip, women tell us that they can be totally and unequivocally themselves.
