“Never in my Wildest Dreams…”

Our guests at AdventureWomen have some incredible stories to share about their adventure vacation trips with us. After more than 40 years of offering trips for women, we were curious to hear how their actual adventures compared with their original ideas about women’s adventure travel.

Here’s what they had to say when we asked them to finish the sentence ”Never in my wildest dreams …”

“…as a small child on a farm in Illinois did I ever think I would actually go to Africa”
– Alene, IL – Tanzania Safari

“…did I think I would be within 10 feet of the Queen of England… our paths crossing at a market square in San Ignacio, Belize. She came with Prince Phillip on her royal yacht… we came with Susan Eckert in a canoe!”
– Carmen and Sheila ,Washington, D.C.- Belize

“ …did I think I would ride into camp on an elephant and see our bamboo rafts being made to float us back to Chiang Mai.”

– M. R. , Florida – Montana Cowgirl

“ …did I ever think I’d have the guts to take trips like yours”
