Travel news for our favorite travelers.

June is Bow to the Bold, Badass Women month at NextTribe. Actually every month we salute bold and badass women, through our articles in NextTrbe Magazine, shoutouts in our newsletters, and celebrations on our trips.

Some of these women have been in the news lately, but others you may not have heard of. All of them deserve recognition for shattering glass ceilings and proving (once again and louder, for the people in the back) that women can, and should, do anything they feel called to do.

This past week, I had the honor of speaking with several other bad-ass travel entrepreneurs at a special JourneyWoman webinar on travel in North America. You can watch the discussion here and learn that you don’t have to go far from home to have moving, exciting travel experiences.

This month, we salute Bold Women in Travel.

Be kind to your flight attendants!
