Cool Women
This is a brand-new section, written for and about women. Here
I will provide specific content of interest to women which will
include profiles or interviews of intriguing women. These women
will of course include travellers and travel experts, but they may
also include writers, entrepreneurs or just regular people like
you and me who have done some interesting things.
If you would like to contribute a story (travel-related or inspiring
in some other way), feel free to contact me at sq@travelandtransitions.com and we can connect to do an interview or to publish your story.
