Welcome to
Adventures in Good Company

Every April, organizations, and parks from across the country come together to celebrate America's treasures and bring awareness to the history and culture of these landscapes. This year's National Park Week theme is "sPark Connections." With a strong philosophy around building connections for women in the travel industry, we were incredibly excited for this year's National Park Week theme here at Adventures in Good Company.

Adventures in Good Company has been very fortunate to have Brenda Porter guiding for twenty-five years, supporting trips in magical ways, and enjoying many wonderful people and incredible places visited. This spring she signed on to guide a group of eleven women who have been best friends for five decades and planned their own private trip together.

At its best though, travel is a force for good. It connects and unites us in a way that makes us better, more engaged citizens of the world. It gives perspective, and when we travel, particularly with a woman-owned and operated company like AGC, we are making a difference to empower and employ women and to support small and local businesses that are just now getting back on their feet after the pandemic.

I realized that I want to be a part of the change that makes a difference in the places I travel. I want to learn about the local people, the language, and see the special places in each area. Travel is not about ticking boxes off of famous landmarks, it is about the connection and spirit you feel when you share a meal with a new friend, when you learn how to say “cheers” in the language, and when you can penetrate the less-traveled, and therefore more special places of a country. Everyone is craving connection; connection to the land, connection to the people, and connection to personal growth. This conference gave everyone the opportunity to think more thoroughly about how to make a global impact with their travel.
