Every Detour is a journey of self-discovery and growth.

I find that the best way to maximize the impact of the work I do with the group is to take a solo trip to reflect and integrate my learnings.

A solo female travel experience is incredible for the soul — at any age.

I am deeply passionate about this and believe it to my core. Providing safe and meaningful opportunities for women to experience travel is the intention behind Dare to Detour and it's at the root of our mission.

Do you ever find yourself thinking…?

I want to design the next chapter of my life on my terms. But I'm worried that it's too late to start.

But it will change your life.

Detouring has become my religion.

Why?

Because Detours shift perspective.

You might be wondering why I chose Morocco as a place to travel as a woman.

And why do I think Morocco is such an important place for us to Detour?

Why you can (and should) make a travel budget.

Are budgets your B*&%$ or your BFF? For most of my adult life budgets have been a B*&%$. In 2022 I made the decision to make a major shift, and step by step, I've been turning that B*&%$ into my BFF.

So what have I learned?

SLOW DOWN. EASE BACK IN. INTEGRATE.

These are not the words we typically hear when we come home from a trip…

What is ‘authentic’ travel?

And how do we get more of it?

There’s nothing better than a Detour where you really get a feel for how the locals do it. Whether it’s wandering the cobblestone streets of a small European town or driving down the dusty road toward a mountain ranch, the experiences we all crave are authentic ones.
