Tour Operator
We're a boutique high adventure travel company for fun adventurous women by fun adventurous women. We’re all about coming together and encouraging each other to step outside of our comfort zones and take on the world! With every adventure we take, we give back by connecting with local women to make a positive impact. We don’t do just trips, we create experiences and friendships that will change the way you view the world and yourself forever.
Meet The Co-Founders + Chief Adventurers
Best friends, business partners, adventurers, goofballs, dreamers and lovers-of-a-good-dance-party! These ladies want to open more women up to the fun, wild world of adventure!
We Believe In The Power Of Shared Experiences
Our special style of giving back is about sharing experiences with local women because we believe the best way to have a positive impact locally is through connecting and forming quality relationships. We do our due diligence to find local nonprofit partners that are creating sustainable change. We take the time to work closely with them to understand their culture, dreams, and aspirations. Doing so helps us create experiences that will truly be of value for the both of us.
We see our interactions as a two way street, focused on forging meaningful relationships, rather than the typical, often hierarchical volunteerism model which places "service" at the center of it's trips. Instead, we believe that the most impactful experiences are created through the shared love of adventure, life and getting to know one another. This is why listening, learning and sharing our lives with one another is a huge part of all our adventures. This empowering exchange is what makes our adventures so unique and valuable.
