It's March, Women's History Month, and on March 8th, women (and men) around the world celebrated International Women's Day. Women's voices matter more today than ever and we are proud to be living in a country where we can speak out on issues we care about. We hope that all women, worldwide, will enjoy such freedoms in the future.

So this month, we're encouraging all Adventure Women to live by the motto "carpe diem" (seize the day) to achieve your objectives - whether those be personal or professional ones. To inspire you, we've collected a few aspirational stories about women doing just that.  We hope these stories give you new ideas and inspiration for meeting whatever life throws at you this year.

And in Ciao Bella, we look at 3 of the 15 women leaders featured by the Women's History Project as part of their "Nevertheless, She Persisted" 2018 theme. So impressive!

And our own fearless leader, Judi, is about to be interviewed by Condé Nast Traveler's "Women Who Travel" podcast to be broadcast on March 26th! Just subscribe to the podcast "Women Who Travel" on iTunes, and you can tune in to hear Judi's segment.
