I am the founder of Her Adventures (formerly known as Girls Who Travel), one of the largest online travel communities for women. Our mission is to radically redefine travel to be inclusive, sustainable, and empowering.


Through the power of community and a team of 40 global volunteers, we have created an extensive network of resources that help women regardless of things like money, race, orientation, identity, or passport power experience the magic of exploring and learning about the world. From virtual tours, to safety courses, to expert speakers, to local meetups, we are ensuring that travel is transformed from something for a privileged few to something for all women.


Our work has been recognized by organizations and brands like Delta, Facebook, Libsyn, and Cratejoy who see the impact of what we're doing, the ability, to further our mission, and the opportunity to connect with their audience on a more personal level.
