OUTDOOR ADVENTURE WITHOUT THE PLANNING: TRAVEL GROUPS FOR WOMEN When women want adventure, they have some choices. They can sign up for a new class, they can learn a new skill, try baking something amazing…or they can book a travel experience just for women. Over the last several years, more and more women only, outdoor experience and adventure travel companies have sprung up, offering visits from national parks to the Himalayas. What’s up with that? Marian Marbury, president of Adventures in Good Company, started as a guide taking women’s groups to places like Africa, Asia, and Latin America to kayak, backpack and generally get outdoors and enjoy. After twelve years of that, she started her own company helping women get outside, challenge themselves, and bond over campfires and new situations. But don’t think for a moment it’s only the athletic young women who have turned to the wilderness for recreation and growth. All ages and skill levels are turning to outdoor adventures within the safety and camaraderie of travelling with other women. Join us as we discuss the trend for women’s outdoor adventure and travel groups. It just might be for you!
