knowledge of trails, natural history and
the cultural background of the countries
we visit.
I personally feel that women want
to experience adventure together. The
freedom we enjoy today in our modern
society is one that has been bought, and
fought for, by women who have gone
before us. Today we are fortunate enough
to have independence, education and
the ability to travel on our own. However,
it wasn’t until the mid 19th Century that
the first couple of brave women began
to venture out on their own, beyond
their borders. Before then, women
‘adventurers’ were basically unheard of,
adventure travel was a man’s world. The
Golden age of adventure for many may
seem to have passed, with the increase
of globalization and the ease in which
we can travel the globe. But I disagree.
For women, as adventure travel began
just a little over 150 years ago – it’s only
just begun! Today, more and more are
stepping beyond their boundaries and
traveling to exotic places, conquering
the physical challenge of trekking, while
soaking up the natural beauty of remote
destinations.
One of the many benefits of travelling
on one of Lyn Taylor’s Adventure Travel
tours is that someone experienced is
guiding you. We will make sure your trip
runs smoothly and remove the hassle of
organizing your tickets, hotel bookings
and tours. The stress is taken out of the
equation, and all that is left to do is pack
your bag and meet us at the airport!
Travelling in a small group is extremely
appealing to women. There is firstly that
feeling of security and comfort which is
so important in unfamiliar environments.
Then as we travel together, we find we
share similar interests, grow friendships,
support each other, have fun, laugh, and
share life stories.

I find as women, we love to give
something back. We have a natural
instinct to want to care, assist and build
community. When you travel with us, you
have the opportunity to get involved in
humanitarian projects. For years we have
been developing grass root, community
projects where you can see the fruits
of your labour. To learn more about
our charity work check out Lyn Taylor’s
Adventure Travel on Facebook or have a
read through our blog.
Aside from the thrill of continuing
the trail that women before us have
blazed in adventure travel, women who
travel together experience a bond and
a growth that is rarely found elsewhere.
From what I have seen, women of all
ages are up for a challenge. This does
not necessarily mean climbing Mt
Everest (but we could!), it is simply
doing something you would never have
attempted otherwise.
Travel for women is inspirational and
to experience adventure together is
empowering. When you are taken out
of your comfort zone, you can achieve
things you may not have thought
possible, that feeling of having ‘done it’ is
simply, wonderful. Travel has the ability
to enrich your life whether you are in
your 20s or 70s the experience is still just
as rich.
