Adventurous Women Blog

This blog is for those of us with even a little bit of adventure in our souls. It started when some friends and I formed an adventure club so we would try something fun, new, interesting, or challenging every few months—the things we had always wanted to try but never had the nerve or the time to attempt. I hope the ideas posted here will inspire you and your friends to take a break from routine and have an adventure! As Helen Keller said, "Life is either a great adventure or nothing.”

Adventurous Woman Needs Our Votes

Beth Walz, creator of AdventureWoman.com, is in the running as one of More magazine's most fabulous women. In Beth's own words, "The woman with the top 100 votes goes to the finals and then there is really decent prize money. I would love to have the money to build my AdventureWomanJr. site for girls. I would really appreciate your vote (and anyone else that might help). I am about 50 votes away from getting into the finals."

You can make Beth a fab finalist by clicking here and registering your vote for this amazing Adventurous Woman. Good Luck Beth!

Beth said...: Thanks for your support Michelle. They never posted the top 100 women(as far as I could tell) and I did not get into the final 3 spots (on the MORE Contest). I am thrilled to see you're blogging again! Bravo!!

How is your daughter? I would still love to publish her article if it is available.
Hope all is well with you. Happy 4th!

Start An Adventure Club!

A few years ago, some friends and I formed an adventure club and named ourselves the League of Adventurous Women. Over wine and appetizers we decided to sponsor four adventures per year. Each one would be an opportunity to try something new or challenging or just plain fun. We all agreed to limit the group to women -- no kids, no husbands, no significant others.

That was more than seven years ago and the group has tripled in size. We maintain an ever-growing, very eclectic, master list of possible adventures. We don't limit our adventure list in any way because what one woman finds adventurous another woman may find terrifying or routine; so variety gives everyone choices. Over the years, the League of Adventurous Women has done everything from trapeze lessons to flower arranging, ghost tours to skeet shooting and skydiving. We still meet every January to plan our adventurous year.

Now it's time for you to create an adventure club of your own. Look below for adventure ideas and the basics of starting a group in your neighborhood. Then go out and expand your horizons!
