Experienced or
Beginner? No matter. Active and Adventure Travel is for the
young at heart! There's something about being in motion and
participating in your vacation that energizes the body, lifts
the spirit and ignites the desire to recapture the moments
of the day. For some, that after-glow sensation is reward
enough. For others, high adventure that cunningly challenges
their skills is the pinnacle.
And, adventure travel consultant Linda Tatten keenly understands
these feelings. Linda has ridden elephants in India, heli-snowshoed
in Canada (left), hot air ballooned in the Australian Outback,
sailed a clipper ship in the Mediterranean, walked the fishing
villages of the Italian Riviera, and more. "Sometimes
I am content to take a more passive vacation where my focus
is to get away from the daily grind to rest and relax. Those
vacations are valuable because they rejuvenate me and ready
me for another day. But, I feel most alive when I am in the
moment—learning something new or practicing to improve
my skills. Today's active and adventure travel packages provide
me the opportunity to experience adventure at the level at
which I feel most comfortable.", says Linda.
