What
kind of traveler are you? Would you want totake off for Timbuktu at a moment's notice, and
figure it out as you go? Or would you want to know the plan in advance — how far,
how strenuous, and what to pack for dinner? Studies have shown that women like
more information in advance than men, and Adventurous Wench, a travel company specializing
in active travel for women, caters to this need.
"The Penn State study found that
knowing what to expect is more important to women than to men. This fits with
my own experience and what I've heard from other women. Our company is dedicated
to travel for women, so we strive to provide all the information they need," said Adventurous Wench founder Deanna Keahey. In addition to extensive trip information available through the website, brochure
and itineraries, Adventurous Wench provides every traveler with an Adventure Essentials
booklet.
Designed
by women, for women, this booklet includes a detailed itinerary and much more.

following:

reading, from history to mystery "Information lets a guest be better prepared for the trip, and increases
her comfort level. We want every guest to relax and have fun, and this is part
of our commitment to doing that," said Keahey.
