An extensive background in outdoor education and years of adventures with family pathed the way for Monique Farmer to create Women Want Adventure, empowering women to “take up space” and experience nature in the company of like-minded adventurers.

Tell us about your organisation and your role within it.

“As the Founding CEO of Women Want Adventure, I saw there was a need for women to connect to community and nature in a safe and supportive environment. With serious health conditions such as anxiety and depression at all-time highs in Australia right now, including low self-esteem and self-worth, particularly for women between 40-55 years, I wanted to help solve the problems women face such as the demands of family/work/life and a society that reinforces women’s “smallness”.

“Today ,Women Want Adventure guide hiking, kayaking, camping and larger multi-day trips across Australia. There is something for everyone, even beginners to the outdoorsy, and women who have never been hiking or kayaking before. My role today has shifted from guiding fulltime, to managing a brilliant team of professional female guides. Every day, I get to work on how we can impact women’s lives through adventure experiences and I love it.”
