We know great destinations & insider travel secrets like few travel professionals do. Our specialties
include vacation travel, international getaways, rail vacations, small group holidays, & soft adventure trips
with a focus on cycling, hiking, walking, marathoning, or barging. We work hard to insure your vacation is
full of great scenery, tasty meals, & plenty of positive memories, all at a price that makes your pocketbook
smile.
Among our own travels exploits are finishing dead last in the Berlin Marathon, wandering into a drug raid
in Old San Juan, getting tear-gassed in curlers by riot police outside a Seoul Korea hair salon, & tracking
howler monkey squat with biologists in Belize. And how could we forget touring Moscow with a black
market “entrepreneur,” crashing into a snowdrift on a runaway Lapp reindeer sled north of the Arctic Circle,
bailing out of a Swiss glider plane into meadow muffins, or hitching an Amish horse & buggy ride in the
Shenandoah Valley? We’ve had wonderful occasional misadventures & always pass on our insight to you,
our travelers.
The Trip Chicks® have penned travel pieces for CNN.com, FoxNews.com, the Atlanta Journal-
Constitution, as well as other print & online media. We’ve served as a frequent expert travel source for
multiple major media outlets in the U.S.A. & Australia. Covering both traditional & under-the-tourist-radar
destinations with our best insider travel tips, we want not only to inform & entertain, but also to encourage
more of our fellow vacation-deprived citizens to take that well-deserved “use or lose vacation.” If you laugh
& maybe even stretch your mind or muscles too while exploring the great world we share, we will have
done our job. The Trip Chicks® hang their backpacks in Georgia (Ann in Atlanta; Wendy in Peachtree
City), where we dream of finishing a best-selling book & hosting our own nationally-syndicated travel talk
radio show.
