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
Check out this fantastic video clip by @henrik_uth of our recent Danish hiking challenge. Great images of people, places, Bedouin guides and Bedouin we met along the way...#goodtimes #memories #vikings #bedouins #hikingaddict #challenge #hikeforcharity #denmark #toughdanes
This is Abdullah, a 13 yr old Bedouin boy who recently had his leg amputated above the knee. In this picture he has just come home from hospital. Due to inadequate hospital care after falling off a boat and cutting his leg in the propeller, the leg got infected. I was outraged and sad. I wrote about it on fb. This led to people around the world wanting to help me with advice, donations and more. Now, 10 days after his operation i was able to organize physio for him. Locals donated a bed, mattress, sheets (he used to sleep on the ground) - it’s a miracle and magic what has happened globally to change this boys aftercare from nothing to something amazing. Thanks to everyone out there for your ongoing support. If you can help someone, do it #angelsunite #community #love #support
Camels cross the desert carrying our hiking bags. Bedouins have been accompanying and guiding people, traders, travelers, pilgrims across the desert for centuries. These days they guide hikers. I love the filter on this picture which gives it that oldie woldie look! #desert #bedouins #backtonature #simplelife #arabiannights #camels #shipsofthedesert
Hiking down from the high plateau of El Gunna into this amazing landscape was like walking into a painting. If you ever get the chance to come to South Sinai, the desert is good for your Soul...it clears your mind and energizes it again. Nothing beats being out in nature, sleeping under Arabian skies and hiking in places like this! #hiking #southsinai #backtonarure #simplelife #energy #beautifuldestinations #landscapes
I was on a hike in the Sinai desert. Asleep under the stars, at 4am thunder awoke me. I lay there wondering if I should evacuate my warm nest and head for higher ground. But the clouds moved on and the morning blessed us with this wonderful light show....#southsinai #hiking #planetearth #desert #bedouins #exploration #adventure #wilderness #womenwhohike
Does anyone else have a problem with cats climbing in the fridge as soon as you open the door? They’re not hungry- they have more than enough food. They just curious and full of mischief! #cats #cats_of_instagram #catlovers #help #catinthefridge
Ahh just another beautiful day in Dahab, South Sinai. On my way to visit Bedouin friends for a cup of tea :)
A few of my friends at a recent 50th birthday party. A reminder: life is uncertain - eat cake! Don’t let time, distance or money stand between you and the good people in your life. #goodfriendsgoodtimes #besties #memories #peoplematter
Im just at the end of a 3 week trip to Switzerland where I was enjoying some rain (and shine) after the hot Egyptian summer. On my way back toy Dahab, South Sinai today. Here’s hoping it’s cooled off a couple of degrees! #rain #weather #singingintherain #switzerland #myswitzerland #interlaken #clouds
At night there is a star which rises which the Bedouins call the Guest’s Star (نجمة الضيف). If you arrive at a Bedouin camp when the star is up, the Bedouin are obliged to serve you dinner. If the Star has already gone down - you’re out of luck! 😁 #stars #starrynight #arabianskies #gueststar #bedouinlife #bedouins #mountains #southsinai #traditions #sinaitrail #egypt
