THE ADVENTURESS

Over the last few weeks, we’ve watched as the Covid-19 crisis has unfolded at an alarming rate. Our hearts have been heavy as this crisis has reached such unprecedented proportions and impact. Today, we are faced with a new reality of self-quarantines, sheltering in place, and the closures of our beloved businesses, restaurants, schools, events, and even parks. At the end of last week, we made the difficult decision to cancel all of our domestic trips through May 15 and our international trips through the end of June. The disappointment we share in having to cancel them is universal. Moments of connection feel especially poignant right now and we want all of the AGC community to come together through these challenging times.

Supporting our participants to have the adventure of a lifetime is at the absolute core of what we do. It is not, however, the only way we are committed to supporting women. In many parts of the world tourism has become an important source of livelihood, and traditionally tourism has been dominated by men. That has started to change in the past 15 years as tourism has grown and we are part of that effort in several ways.

As I write this blog, the news of coronavirus is rapidly evolving and we understand the uncertainty and concerns from our community. Our travelers’ health and safety is always a priority and we are closely monitoring the situation. We realize you may be wondering how this could affect you both before and while you travel, and we are here to offer help and advice to allow for your adventure plans to run smoothly.

There’s something intriguing about an adventure trip that’s physically demanding. Have you ever read the description of a challenging trip and wondered what it was that so illusively piqued your interest? Did it sound intriguing, challenging, and a bit daunting all at the same time? These trips seem to conjure up a tantalizing combination of a promise, a challenge, and a gift.

Have you ever dreamed of hiking the Appalachian Trail? What would that look like? Are you envisioning a thru hike? Does section hiking make better sense with your personal calendar or maybe a few day hikes when time allows? The AT is a beautiful trail with amazing diversity and easily accessible for both short and long hiking/backpacking experiences. Join us as we explore all the different ways AGC can help you make this dream a reality!
