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 BarteltDez 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 Surviving a Hurricane While Traveling, Lisa S. said "Growing up in good ole NC, I have survived my share of storms. Actually, where I sit currently (on a barrier island) has been under water many times. Staying on an island is scary. We leave if it is over a CAT 1. The most important thing for us is to fill our gas tanks at the first inkling that there may be a storm. Water, medicines, non perishable food, they're all really important. Honestly, if it is a big storm, alcohol later serves as pay for work. We stock up on EVERYTHING. We start eating out of the freezer days before (like we did tonight, getting ready for Earl). You don't want much to go bad. Then we tie up all the trash cans, secure grills, and hold on for dear life :)"

    • On American Tourist Kidnappings on the Rise in Mexico, Roger said "Better not to drive if you can travel by bus. Buses are not apt to be targets like cars with US plates that also can be stolen. The buses in Mexico are very comfortable like flying in a plane they often have movies and it is safer.Plan your trip and don't travel alone especially if you are female.Women traveling alone are a target Good luck and stay alert."
