	Description:		Debra Asberry is the owner of Women Traveling Together, a company built on her own personal frustration when she could not find a travel partner to do a once-in-a-lifetime trip with her. Women Traveling Together cultivates an environment where solo women can experience new things without a travel buddy, in a safe and secure way. The company was started in 1997, and has created an experience where even the most inexperienced traveller can have a fun time without feeling pressured to keep up with the pros. Key Takeaways: What is Women Traveling Together about, and how did it get started? Debra and Women Traveling Together will be hosting around 70 tours throughout 2017. The company started because no one wanted to travel with Debra on a rafting trip 20 years ago. Debra knew she couldn’t have been the only one who felt this way. She wanted to share her experiences with someone. The mainstream tour operators, at the time, did not want anything to do with solo travellers. You can talk to the other women in the group before your trip to get a better feel for what they are and aren’t comfortable with while traveling. This makes the group activity great for both experienced and inexperienced travelers. How does Debra work with introverts and the lone wolves? Some people have strict definitions of what solo travel is. Both Jennifer and Debra do a bit of debunking! You can be as alone as you want to be on any of these trips! It’s just up to you how you want to spend that time. Jennifer loves what Debra is doing because women who are going through a midlife transition are able to rediscover themselves and redefine their stories in a safe way. What are some of the qualities Debra looks for in a tour leader? Debra has 12 employees on staff and 29 tour leaders that are on the front line and who ensure that the tour runs smoothly. What’s next for Debra and her company? A company like Debra’s makes it so easy for you to get up and go, and live life on your own terms.
