I’ve been a traveler since 1984 when I spent a summer studying at Oxford. There, I fell in love with the history and architecture of England, as well as the people and culture. Since then, I’ve been to England countless times and have broadened my love for travel throughout all Europe. Each of these trips has been different—from a family missions trip, to anniversary celebrations with my husband, to river cruises with my mom and sisters, to birthday adventures with my daughters, to culinary explorations with friends.

I have lots of places still to explore, and that’s how Walkabout got its start.

As I’ve shared stories and pictures of my travels with others, people started asking me if they could come along on my next trip. That got me thinking:

What if I found a group of women, designed a trip with their interests in mind, and added elements of an intentional spiritual retreat?

When I announced my first trip, it sold out in a week!

I’m excited about Walkabout because it aligns so closely with my personal mission: to help guide women into a deeper relationship with God. I do that by helping them experience him in cities, in his creation, and in his world. On trips with me, you’ll not only open your eyes to the wonder of the world around you, but you’ll be similarly awed as you experience God in richer, deeper ways by watching his character on display outside the comfort of the place you call home. I hope you return from a Walkabout trip with a deeper understanding of how each place we adventure to together has shaped who you are—and who you are becoming.

Won’t you join me on our next adventure?
