Happy #InternationalWomensDay! Today is a day to celebrate the often under-appreciated achievements and contributions of women to the world, and to focus on empowering women and girls globally. When it comes to travel and adventure, this is a very important thing to do. Historically, adventure has been far less accessible to women, who were (and in many cases, still are) expected to spend most of their lives in the home, fulfilling domestic roles instead of exploring the world.
As we mentioned in our last blog post, most of the famous explorers of history are men because of this inequality. However, there were several important women who defied the odds in years gone by and changed the world through travel, often risking it all to do so.
Here at The Bucket List Company, we are passionate about making life-changing adventure travel accessible to as many people as possible – whatever their gender. In order to encourage women to push the boundaries of travel and adventure, we need to recognise and celebrate the amazing female explorers who can inspire us all.
But how much do you actually know about these adventurous explorers? Find out in our quiz below!
