When I think of a girls' trip, my mind goes to a sandy destination with the latest beach read or sitting on floaties in a lake chatting for hours with my besties from college. What if you had an opportunity to hike to Machu Picchu or walk the Camino in Spain with a group of women, who are seeking new experiences, goals and passions, enabling them to step out of their comfort zone for real personal growth?
After a long and successful career as an executive in the travel industry, Sally Bassett took sixteen women on an adventure in Peru, a trek of 28 miles over four mountain passes to Machu Picchu. Since 1995, Women for Adventure has been a catalyst in bringing hundreds of women together on trips worldwide. The organization is also very philanthropic, giving back and supporting programs for the enrichment of young girls called Girls for Success. We love that!
Sally’s passion toward life, creative nature, and spiritual approach have been keys to her success. She has led groups to over 120 countries as a result of her 40+ year career in the travel industry where she went from flight attendant to CEO. Her favorite quote is by Helen Keller, “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.”
You can just feel Sally's excitement and energy coming through in this podcast! She was a delightful guest who loves people, has a zest for life and a can-do attitude.
If would like to find out more about upcoming trips or you would like to start a local chapter of Women for Adventure, there is information on the website.
