This one goes out to the adventurers.
To the women who wander, who get out there even if it means going first or going alone. To the women who focus less on falling and more on flying, who care deeply about making the world – or even just their world – better, who throw off imposed boundaries so they can set their own.
These are the kinds of women you might meet on an Intrepid trip.
‘Lots of other male porters have said to me that you need to get married and relax on your husband’s money. They don't know me.’
- Sumitra Acharya, Intrepid leader

‘You don’t need things to be perfect and you don’t need to feel ready. You just need to take that first step and see what happens.’
