Today is International Women’s Day! Taking place annually on 8 March, thousands
of events are held throughout the world to inspire women and celebrate
achievements. Well there are plenty of inspirational female travellers and
explorers out there - from Freya Stark, Gertrude Bell and Fanny Bullock Workman
to Dervla Murphy, Ellen MacArthur and, more recently, Bonita Norris, who last
year became the youngest British female to summit Mount Everest at 22yrs!
So all you ‘gals’ out there, are you inspired by today to
get out and achieve something you thought was beyond your capabilities? This could be as ‘simple’ as finally taking
the plunge and booking that adventure trip to Turkey or trekking the Inca Trail
to see Machu Picchu.
No need to be intimidated by the thought of climbing Kilimanjaro
surrounded by testosterone! Don’t dream
it – do it!
