Our fearless leader, Brian Morgan, makes the cover!Adventure Life News
Adventure Life's president and founder, Brian Morgan, was interviewed by Inc. Magazine for their How to Build You Dream Company issue. Check it out -- he even made the cover! (That's Brian on the far right.)


"..Morgan had just a couple thousand dollars in savings, though, so he accepted a software job and relegated start-up work to evenings and weekends. He printed 200 brochures advertising a single excursion and deposited them in coffee shops and sporting-goods stores near universities. No one called. Travel agencies waved him away. Concluding that travelers wanted more than one option, Morgan created a second brochure offering three itineraries with six departure dates. He also built a website, which looked like the work of an Amazonian howler monkey. Fortunately, a graphic design student redesigned the site a few weeks later. Drawn by the brochure and the site, 100 people booked the first year..." - By Leigh Buchanan

Start planning your holiday trip todayHoliday Depatures -- No Time to Waste
As a seasoned traveler, you know that it is never too early to begin plans for holiday travel. The savvy who get a head-start on their wish-list are gifted with the best trip option, travel dates, and save themselves a lot of unnecessary stress. Remember, air travel expenses begin to skyrocket for the holidays in October. And this year, I have already seen a surprising decline in flight availability, as airlines are limiting departures while trying to pinch pennies. So simplify your holiday travels and start planning your retreat today.

Meeting the locals in AntarcticaWomen Inspiring Women Trip: Explore Antarctica
Renee and I have set our sites on one of the most secluded destinations in the world, Antarctica. Inspired by its remote and rugged landscape, there is no better destination for Renee and I -- who, between the two of us, have run marathons, tackled the Inca Trail, trekked the Fitz Roy Range and make regular appearances in the RATPOD -- to explore. We hope our trip will inspire fellow adventurous women to explore outside the box and discover just how far your wanderlust can take you.

It is easy to be inspired by such a place. Antarctica holds the title of coolest, driest and windiest destination on earth. This enormous frozen land has conquered the most experienced explorers, yet nurtures some of the most fragile wildlife. It will be the first time either of us have visited the White Continent, and our excitement gets harder and harder to contain each day.


We have booked our trip onboard the M/V Orlova, departing November 20, 2009. First-time roommates, I trust that Renee will hang-up her wet towels. In exchange I promise I will not snore.

We'd love to have you join us as we discover the treasures of this remote region. Click here for more details.
