Each of us go through periods where we are faced with more challenges than we think we can handle. Some, more than others but we've all been there. This month we want to highlight the silver linings which we can find through those experiences.

In Ciao Bella, one of our guests has shared with us her personal story of managing through a "curve ball" recently thrown her way. We also focus on the powerful story of Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild (among other works) who learned her own lessons of healing thanks to her time spent in the wilderness of the Pacific Crest Trail.

What challenges will you conquer in 2019? 

What about hiking the iconic Overland Track in Tasmania through ancient rain forests, and past majestic waterfalls on your own Australian version of the Pacific Crest Trail?

Or maybe you'd like to learn about the behaviors and mating habits of bears at our bear watching camp in Alaska.

Or perhaps you'll try open water kayaking in the middle of the Adriatic Sea on a yacht cruise in Croatia.

Whatever challenges you embrace in 2019, we've got your back at AdventureWomen. Courage & Conquer!
