About Adventure Associates
For 21 exciting years, “women who
dared” have traveled with Adventure
Associates beyond the beaten path in
order to nourish their curiosity about
distant lands, colorful cultures and
wild creatures! Along with their interest
in cultivating a more global awareness,
our “Real Travellers” share
a lively spirit of adventure and a love
of the natural world. Our mission
is to create travel opportunities that
promote an ethic of care, and nurture
a sense of global relationship. When
women travel together there is a network
of support created in which they are
motivated to create change and nurture
their own strength. Routine is broken;
roles change. When she travels to new
horizons or turns to the outdoors, she
encounters infinite gifts: physical adventure,
spiritual enlightenment, unencumbered
freedom and deep-rooted connection. Adventure
Associates invites women to discover
these gifts.
Been There
“ ‘Many people today, loyal
to their own ideals, walk toward the
light of justice, honor, truth and the
shadow of good influence falls behind
them. They too attract rather than compel
others toward goodness. They lure by
the appeal of their own integrity and
love.’ I don’t know who wrote
the above, but it reminded me of you,
our guide. Thanks for enriching our tour!” - Maria,
