Why Join #AdvTravelChat?

We are two fun-loving well-traveled adventurous ladies with some of the largest adventure travel followings on Twitter in the biz! We aim to inspire you, make your bucket list longer and have a blast while doing it! To really get the party started, I know I’ll have a glass of wine in hand!

A few of my favorite adventures include shark diving (without a cage) in Costa Rica, the Galapagos Islands, South Africa and Palau. I’m an avid hiker who can be found in the Alps most weekends, and have completed the Everest Base Camp Trek, the Tour du Mont Blanc and numerous multi-day hikes.  Before I moved to Germany, the Canadian Rockies were my playground.  I’ve recently taken up cycling, and have cycled from Passau, Germany to Vienna, Austria and will be cycling 1200km across Finland on the Iron Curtain Trail in June. I’m also passionate about wildlife.  Hiking to see mountain gorillas in the Virunga Mountains was a highlight I’ll never forget! I’m always up for an adventure and to try something new!
