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!

Join me on a Venus Adventures trip to Morocco this September! Morocco is a fabulous mix of African/Berber/Arab culture with stunning landscapes from the Sahara to the Atlas mountains and Atlantic ocean. An amazing trip guaranteed! You can even wear a cookie monster djellaba and noone will bat an eyelid 😀#morocco #womens #womeninspiringwomen #travel #traveladdict #womenonly #girlsontour #ladieslovetravel
This is Dahab, South Sinai, where I live. It‘s a beautiful windswept morning on the Red Sea, with clouds casting atmospheric shadow patterns on the mountains. A great place to visit for a relaxing holiday, desert safari, snorkel or scuba trip! #dahab #scubadiving #kitesurfing #snorkelling #relaxing #safari #southsinai #egypt #myplace #beachtime #lifesabeach #visitme

Walking the@sinaitrail with Um Yasser, Egypt‘s first female guide. She showed me the different medicinal herbs that grow in the desert, some old rock drawings and a cave dwelling where she grew up. The following week she lead her first group of women hikers and made international news. So proud of her for making history and breaking new ground ❤️🐪 #bedouins #southsinai #femaleguide #womenempowerment #women #hiking #hikingculture #hikingaddict #lessismoreoutdoors #springtime #queenofthedesert

The more I hike with Bedouins, the less outdoor gear I need. We make tea on a fire in a tin can (no stove or teapot), wear gallibeyas (cotton dresses) instead of expensive outdoor gear, sleep on rugs with blankets (no tents or sleeping bags). However, nothing will part me from my @vibramfivefingers shoes! #vibramfivefingers #outdoorgear #bedouins #adventure #desert #lessismore #lessismoreoutdoors #nature #hikingaddict #hikingculture #walking #southsinai #simplelife #thebedouinway
Out on a hike with a lady from the Bedouin Hamadha tribe, we come across some old rock art. Pictures of animals that no longer exist here but tell a story of long ago. #hikingculture #bedouin #tribes #rockart #rocks #hikingaddict #desert #sinai
