Today is the day I start this blog. And I ask myself – how did I get here? How did it start?
As I tend to be more analytical than introspective, it took me a while to realize that though I love travel of every kind, what most excites me is adventure travel – the exhilaration, the thrill, the inspiration, the eye-opening experience, the discoveries! And I also love children and connect to them in a special way. I feel protective of children – perhaps this is what has brought me here today.
As a trip consultant, creator and manager, what I enjoy most is putting the two together and serving my travelers well by creating really spectacular vacation adventures for them and their families. Family Adventure Travel Works was born out of this love. But it doesn’t stop there – there’s a philosophy behind it as well.
We live in a world where the word “virtual” has taken on special meaning – virtual games, virtual friends, virtual reality! The German term “luftgescheft” (business in the air) most appropriately describes my sense of “virtual”. How does this connect to Family adventure travel?
Our children are growing up in a “virtual world” where social interaction comes in the form of a computer screen. The “world view” they are necessarily adopting is through the maze of technology. More and more, I find that parents are desperate to help their children leave the computer screens and technological gadgets and engage instead in the “real world”. This is when Family Adventure Travel Works and where adventure travel holidays come in.
Travel adventures abroad are a wonderful means to connect – to get in touch with nature and respect its preservation, to explore different cultures, to be exposed to new languages and other ways of living – in short, to interact with other people, to socialize, to engage in real life! Adventure Travel opens our eyes and our minds to the commonalities we all share, and leaves us with an imprint in time in our ever-evolving family bonds.
Come join me and together we’ll dive into the unknown as we explore unique vacations and settings – wildlife travels, coastal adventures, tropical landscapes, biking routes, hiking vacations, deserts of the world – these are just a sampling of the myriad of venues, activities and tips to savor. The natural wealth and wonders our earth offers are here to be appreciated. The world is our playground – let’s share it together!
