Desperately Seeking Adventure

Isn’t every woman desperately seeking a little bit of adventure at some point in her life? But what exactly is adventure? To Helen Stoker, founder of Desperately Seeking Adventure, it’s ‘feeling on top of the world but not necessarily being there, it’s feeling alive and free, it’s doing something new that fills me with a little apprehension and excitement and leaves me feeling fulfilled’.

Desperately Seeking Adventure provides adventure travel specifically for women. From trekking in the Moroccan Atlas, walking in the Lake District to Walking, Yoga and Meditation breaks in Tuscany there’s something for everyone.

Through taking part in an adventure with a group of like-minded women not only do you get the support within the group, but also meet new people with different stories to tell and life experiences to share, and a little bit of laughter on the way…
