  AdventureFit Travel

  Dec 2013 - May 2019

  Founder & CEO

  AdventureFit's goal was to improve the world through travel, exercise, mindfulness and conversation. Through the course of its lifetime, it was a shining light in terms of bringing people together from all over the world for life-changing experiences. Ceased operations as I fell out of love with the process. It was sad. 💔
