Adventure

I went on an all women’s surf, yoga, and empowerment retreat with 10 other women from around the world!

I travelled with some friends that i was studying abroad with for a trip to Morocco! We went on an organized trip, as at the time, that was a safer option and fairly cheap to do from Spain!

I travelled to Kenya on a volunteer experience for 2 weeks and worked at an orphanage, but while I was there I was able to travel and experience so much of the culture. 4 of the days were spent doing travelling and experiencing Kenya

Since we always head east to see family for Christmas, Thanksgiving became our time to travel wherever we want (just the five of us). Initially we took beach vacations to islands, but then we decided it was time to start exploring the different areas within the United States, more specifically the National Parks.

For this trip, we didn’t have a full week, so we decided to start with three parks that were relatively close to each other.

Also, since my youngest was in fourth grade, we wanted to take advantage of the US Government’s Every Kid Outdoors (everykidoutdoors.gov) program, which provides all fourth graders and their families free access to national parks, lands, and waters for a full year! This is an amazing program—increasing access to outdoor recreation for everyone!

Heard about it from a friend at a hostel in Florence, so we wanted to see it for ourselves

My husband was an anthropology major in college. He always wanted to see Machu Picchu. We took the family to Machu Picchu for his 50th birthday and our 20th anniversary!

After a visit to Edinburgh with one day in the Highlands, we were dying to see more of the Scottish countryside! We decided we wanted to road trip for the freedom to visit smaller towns and to stop and take in the views whenever we felt like it.

Sometimes you just need to get away to the beach. A nice beach. Lots of them, in fact. Given the Dominican Republic's relative proximity to the US, combined with affordable accommodations and a wealth of the aforementioned beaches, our travel group chose the Samana' Peninsula as a base of operations for a relaxing beach vacation.

Our motives in traveling to Rio and the Costa Verde were to enjoy some beach vibes and colonial charm. Plus, the opportunity to see famous harbor of Rio de Janeiro and its world-famous beaches was a strong incentive as well.

A visit to India is a feather in any traveler's cap. Our group went in search of fascinating culture, food and architecture and we did not leave disappointed.

My daughter and I have always dreamed of traveling Switzerland by train and hiking through the Alps–it was a trip of a lifetime!

I was traveling with a friend in Croatia and she mentioned to me that going to Cappadocia and riding in a hot air balloon was one of her dreams. I hadn't heard of it before but when I looked it up, the destination looked incredible. I met some friends in a hostel in Istanbul who were planning on going there next, so I jumped at the opportunity and off we went 2 days later!

My boyfriend and I were backpacking through Eastern Europe and had heard this was a great place to visit. We had also heard there was a great through-hike to do, so we head there with high hopes of great adventure. Spoiler— we found it!

As Europeans, we've always dreamed of visiting Hawaii Islands, once for being famous to be a paradisiac place, but also for being far away and unreachable. The three of us are young professionals and adventurers by heart. So, we decided we want to see Maui, but as low-budget and as adventurously as possible. We challenged ourselves to get there and we finally did it this summer.

In the first semester of 2021, I was feeling very frustrated with experiences I had been through and the life I was building in Thailand, where I used to live, and I was thinking it was time to leave, and probably to go back home. I was locked up in hospital because I got COVID, it was mandatory to stay there for 14 days, and believe me, that was such a hard time for me. I was in the other side of the World, missing my family and everyone I loved, and literally could count on no one in that situation, because everyone was just scared of the virus and even blaming me for being sick (yea, crazy, right?)
And someday during that 14 days, a friend of mine that also lived in Thailand called me and told me he wanted to go to Egypt, and asked me if I wanted to join him for a couple of weeks and explore the whole country. I actually had never thought about traveling to Egypt in that time of my life, but I instantaneously accepted the invitation. That would be an incredible adventure, and why not going with a friend to make things easier. I needed that, I needed something new.
