Why Buying Travel Insurance Immediately After Booking Your Trip is a Smart Move
Planning a trip is an exciting time. You've booked your flights, reserved your accommodations, and maybe even started making a bucket list of activities. But while you're dreaming of your adventure, there’s one important step you shouldn’t skip: buying travel insurance. And the best time to do it? Right after you book your trip.
Trekking, Toddler-parenting, & Teamwork
If you're a mom, you know that "mom guilt" is all too real. Whether it's something you feel naturally or something subtly (or not-so-subtly) pointed out by society, friends, or family, it's a feeling that can be hard to shake. Our Georgia ambassador and Trip Host shares how she navigates this on adventure travel sans daughter and how investing in yourself as a whole person (not just a mom or wife) is crucial.
Discovering Variety, Flavors, Textures, and Colors in Peruvian Cuisine and Beyond
Sometimes you go on an adventure and everything is perfectly within your comfort zone. Some adventures though are meant to push your boundaries and for trying new things!

Backpacking Paria Canyon & Buckskin Gulch with Women Who Explore
Story from a guest on our recent Paria Canyon Trek in October 2023:
“On this backpacking trip, it was a joy to watch other wonderful women get a taste for how uplifting, healing, and life-changing such trips can be. How these types of experiences can ignite (or reignite) a passion for seeking joy and connection with each other, and the world around us.
I was able to witness many of them shift their physical, emotional, and/or spiritual baselines for what was desired in their lives…gaining clarity on what they needed more of, and what they wanted less of.”
Exploring Greece Through Food
Some say that the best way to learn about a culture is through their food. We definitely agree that it’s at least one of our favorite ways! Our trip host Alyssa shares her story about the cooking class she attended with guests at the Mykonian Spiti & Farm.
Vietnam: A Cultural & Culinary Adventure!
Our Getaway Host Karrie shares her experiences on the recent Northern Vietnam trip! They wandered the alleys of Hanoi learning about the history, culture, and of course tasting ALL the food. Stayed in Halong Bay for an overnight luxury cruise across the emerald green waters surrounded by towering limestone cliffs. They hiked, biked, kayaked and participated in gentle yoga sessions on this adventure.
Empowering Adventures: Women Who Explore Paria Canyon and Buckskin Gulch

It’s Summit Night on Kilimanjaro
Summit night on Kilimanjaro is an experience unlike any other. Melissa shares her experience trekking up one of the seven summits and grappling with feelings of self doubt.
Somewhere Over the Rainbow
How do I even make this thing go?!! I had never ridden an ATV before and now found myself straddling a four-wheeler trying to figure out what were the brakes and what was the throttle. In the midst of all the rumbling engines, I gave a convincing thumbs-up to the group like any pseudo badass in a superhero helmet would give in that moment. I mumbled “you can do this” into the padding of my helmet, and after a brief orientation and training lap, I now had an imaginary four-wheeling driver’s license.
