Gutsy Women come from every walk of life. They are homemakers, caregivers, educators and businesswomen. They are mothers, daughters, sisters and best friends. They are both well-traveled individuals curious to interface with their counterparts in another culture and women who have never found the opportunity to explore the world outside their community--until now. They are generally women between 30 and 62, but just as they don’t like to label themselves, neither have we--except as the “Gutsy Women” they are…seeking fresh and exciting travel options with congenial companions.
