Check out how much fun Venus Adventures girls have on safari in Africa! We travel by Safari truck and see lots of majestic African animals, beautiful sweeping landscapes and much more…be warned, if you watch the video you might want to come. This is a safari for anyone, you don’t have to be gutsy women to travel with us!

I am a modern-day nomad, adventuress and ginocologist (I like to pour people a gin in an exotic place). I don't believe you need to win lotto or marry a millionaire to make your dreams come true, just have to believe you can make it happen...and then take the first steps towards your goal. My travels have taken me from North America to Europe to Africa to Asia and . . . literally . . . to Timbuktu - and back. As a result of all my travels I founded my own travel company Venus Adventures Global Trips for Women in 2006. My passion is travel and adventure, with a gin at sunset: be warned, you may catch the travel bug off me! And you might become a ginoholic too!

Fabulous photos from exotic travels
I love the Lauterbrunnen valley, with its high walls and waterfalls. It is surrounded by glaciers and huge mountains and is truly breathtaking and magical! #swissalps #lauterbrunnen #foodforthesoul #amazingplaces
Bedouin kids play „run under the camel“ - would you dare??
St Catherine’s village in the mountains of South Sinai, is my peaceful place. It’s good for the soul. These biblical lands are full of history. But life is hard here sometimes with the lack of tourists. Hence I’m feeding this hungry camel til he’s needed for transport in the mountains. If you love to hike, visit #sinai #Stcatherines #hiking #trekking #mountains #egypt #peace #foodforthesoul #peaceofmind

I just spent a couple of relaxing days at this beautiful camp in Nuweiba. Souf aulam means End Of The World. #camp #beachhuts #weekendgetaways #egypt #lifesabeach #beachlife #beachcamp #campinglife #goodfood #friendlystaff #sunrise #sunset #relaxingbythesea #seafood #seaside #nuweiba #nuweibacamp
Considering I don’t own a couch....they might say this about my @vibramfivefingers hiking shoes though! 😂 but yup, life’s not about stuff. It’s about experiences, people, connections and good food! Right?!
Its always good to get out in nature and recharge your batteries. At the Moment my batteries are having the life sucked out of them by the 40 degree days and 30 degree nights in Egypt. Looking forward to some mountain air in Switzerland soon! #interlaken #myinterlaken #switzerland #niederhorn #backtonature
It’s World Gin Day! Since #ginoclock is an important part of the Venus Adventures Day, i am sharing a gin o’clock Moment with you. This is me and my group in Vietnam on an overnight train ride. We squashed into one cabin for that important gin hour, when gin glues us together and loosens our tongues. (We keep our gin in plastic water bottles so as to avoid carrying heavy bottles around) bringing a bottle of gin is a requirement to come on my trips for many reasons: It’s cheaper than Botox and paralyzes more muscles. It has health benefits. It tastes fine without ice in the Sahara. Its the Queens drink of choice. Etc Let the adventure beGIN! #worldginday #ginoholic #ginocologist #ilovegin #ginlovers #instagin #ginoftheday #gintime #queenofgin #gintasting #ginandtonic
Bored shoppers. Let’s face it, all that consuming of materialistic Chinese made crap does get a little overwhelming. 😂 this is Dong Xuan market in #Hanoi Vietnam. But it smells like #china #madeinchina #cheapclothes #plasticcraptastic #vietnam #shopoholic #savetheworld #dontbuycrapyoudontneed #souvenirsareawasteofmoney
