Some of you might be looking for something to motivate you toward keeping your resolutions, whether that be fitness, adventure or community driven. Hollie and Cara gave use their 2 cents. And now I guess it's about time I officially announce another option on the blog. Backwoods Adventures is teaming up with the Real Chicks to bring you a women-specific...Kilimanjaro Ascent and Safari in February of 2012!!
The idea for this trip was hatched last March during the Adventure Getaway Weekend. The ladies on that trip were having so much fun trying new sports and enjoying one anothers company that they started to talk about bigger adventures we could all take together. We have all stewed on it for a while and have finally decided to make a go of it.
I am including some details of the trip along with a few of my pictures from Kili in 2006. This is going to be an incredible trip and, for comparison, I spent $8000 doing this trek 4 years ago, without a safari. So, needless to say, I feel this is a great deal! I will be joining this group as a guide and am so excited to be able to show the group that means so much to me exactly how much their bodies are capable of.
In preparation for this trip, I will be writing a monthly update on the blog as a way of supporting trip participants. I will cover topics from training to immunizations, gear to hygiene. For those of you who won't be joining the trip, these topics are easily transferred to expeditions you may be planning elsewhere and I hope you will find them just as useful. If you are planning to go on the trip and have specific items you'd like to hear about, let me know and I will incorporate those into the blog as well.
I hope you will consider joining me and Backwoods Adventures for this trip of a LIFETIME! And what better way to experience it than surrounded by a supportive, encouraging network of women? Tell your friends, your family, your coworkers.
