Venus Adventures offer global trips , just for women and I will hand over to them to explain the reasons for travelling with them .
“ Women-only holidays are great fun ! Let ’ s face it : women just like to do different things , talk about different subjects , shop and have fun .
Without the boys around , girls can let their hair down , not worry about how they look or how good they are at something - quite simply , they can relax .
We have taken care to design interesting and enjoyable tours to fascinating places .
Our motto is : “ Life is uncertain - eat cake !” - anyone for cake ?
The Essence of Venus Adventures Touring Holidays for Women
Basically we want to take you to great places to see and experience wonderful things . We want your experience to be comfortable and affordable . You can come by yourself or bring some friends ( enquire about our group discounts ). But traveling with us is not just about seeing great places - women in a group tend to have some great conversations , new friends are made , and a lot of laughs are had - often at ourselves !
We are sure once you have been on a trip just for women , you will be returning for more !
We believe there are three important ingredients to a Venus Adventure trip - culture , adventure and fun !
Culture : We value mixing with the locals , and try to do this wherever possible . We don ’ t want to just look in from the outside and take photos of them , we want to really visit them - drink tea with them and chat ! This is important to get a real insight into other people ’ s lives and cultures - otherwise you may make untrue assumptions from the outside about what you are seeing . The idea is not to “ protect ” you from the country you are in , but to make you feel more comfortable being part of it , giving you a more authentic experience .
Adventure : By adventure we mean if there is a great little adventure to be had which will enrich the trip , we do it ( not all trips include adventures though ). These adventures are specially selected , and are generally manageable by anyone . They include things like : -riding camels into the Sahara and sleeping under the stars -hiking in the Swiss alps and staying at a mountain hut -doing an easy , scenic raft trip in Morocco
We only do activities that are fun and worthwhile . Trying new things will increase your confidence and give you some fantastic memories , maybe of things you didn ’ t think you were capable of .
Fun : This goes without saying . . . pretty much everything we do is fun ! . . . but it could be swilling a gin and tonic whilst watching the African sun set , or haggling
for handicrafts in an Arab souq ( market ), or it could be shoulderdancing with the Ethiopians !
