Dear Sandy,
Adventure Associates would like to highlight our
dedication to 20 years of travel for women. In the
featured article of this newsletter, read about why
women choose to travel, what it is they want out of
group adventures, and how Adventure Associates
has given women the opportunity for empowerment
through travel since 1987.
Summer escapes are fast approaching! June is Orca
Month in the San Juan Islands...don't miss an
opportunity to sea kayak alongside majestic Orca
Whales this summer. Our Fall international journeys
are also just around the corner - plan ahead for these
once-in-a-lifetime adventures: Bhutan, Copper Canyon, Laos & Cambodia
or any custom designed trip!
Lastly, check out our successful winter trips! The
climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, East Africa was
a great success, followed by a cultural and wildlife
safari to match no other. Our annual Yellowstone Ski
Safari was also fantastic! See the photos and
read the travel blogs below.
