Inspiring adventures for all women

Dez Bartelt is who I want to be when I grow up. She's full of energy and creativity and has an amazing zest for life. Her mantra - "Explore, study and preserve" - defines why I love to travel.

She's climbed avidly for 20 years, conquering some of Dez Barteltthe toughest cliffs and likely has more mountains under her belt than most of us have shoes. But she's equally devoted to white-water rafting, sea kayaking, ice climbing, and skiing, as well as teaching wilderness survival techniques.

Her Adventure Company, Best of Both Adventures for Women takes women to amazing places and encourages them to stretch their limits, to explore their potential amid the safety and comfort of other women doing exactly the same thing.

What I love about her adventures is that it doesn't really matter what your fitness level is. If you want to get out and try something new, she has a journey for you.

Choose from three destinations: Patagonia, Panama and Puerto Rico, and then start customizing:

Yoga, spa treatments and fabulous food nurture your body between adventures

Hiking

Bird watching

Mountain biking

Rafting ( float and white water)

Glacier trekking

Horseback riding

Sea kayaking

Scuba diving

Snorkeling

Aerial canopy

Surfing

Dez is off adventuring for the next few months, but she's going to be checking back weekly, sharing her adventures with us.

Got a question for Dez? Post it here and I'll make sure she gets it.

On Chinese Earthquake Shakes Tourists in Chengdu , Steve said "Although the initial concerns are warranted, travelers should not intentionally avoid Chengdu. I am currently living in Chengdu and was here for the earthquake. Although some of the nearby cities suffered major damage, damage in Chengdu was very limited. I have heard reports of a building that collapsed and a couple buildings suffered minor structural damage but, by in large, tourist trips to the area will not be impeded at all. The day following the quake most stores in the city were closed but everything in Chengdu should return to normal by the weekend at the latest. It is a great city and I would encourage people not to change their travel plans. "

Families do indeed get a lot out of our trips, as do couples, single travellers, and seniors. Yours in Adventures That Count Chris "
