Soulfit Adventures - what's it all about?

My passion for travel was ignited, like a many of us, in my early 20's when I was fortunate to spend seven years living, and working in the travel industry in Europe. Ever since I’ve traveled to destinations in all corners of the globe exploring. Upon returning to Australia I worked primarily in travel and hospitality, then eventually as an event manager co-ordinating everything from major film premieres to corporate conferences.

 

My passion for all things cycling, and yoga developed over a long time. Early in 2009 I was burnt out and unquestionably decided the corporate world was over-hyped and knew I wanted to make a major change in my life. Right from the start I knew that cycling and yoga complimented each other perfectly and so I began finding ways of combining my appetite for travel, cycling and yoga with my skills as an event manager and eventually, Soulfit Adventures was born.

 

I am a Yoga Alliance certified teacher and as an active cyclist, I am acutely aware of the benefits that yoga brings to cyclists, both on and off the bike. On my retreats I teach a sports focused practice with plenty of options for all levels, paying particular attention to demands placed on cyclists bodies.  

As the founder and leading lady behind Soulfit Adventures, I coordinate everything on you’re retreat and worry about all of the tedious details for you, guaranteeing you get the most out of your time away. 

I have designed Soulfit Adventures for people of all ages and backgrounds, and as an experience like no other of it’s kind, tailoring luxury escapes that combine my passions of cycling, culture, yoga and travel. All you need is a sense of adventure.

 

I look forward to meeting you on one of my Soulfit Adventures somewhere soon! Virginia.

We'd like to be crystal clear here: Soulfit adventures is not a travel agent.  We do not book, sell or ticket airfares for our groups. We work closely with our licensed travel agent partners, IATA travel professionals, who belong to the Travel Compensation Fund.  We do what Soulfit Adventures does best, we design fantastic, creative, holistic and authentic cycling experiences available in conjunction with the best local suppliers in each retreat location. 

So - you'll need a flight to join our group but we don't do that bit.  If you decide you'd like to come along, we'll provide you with options to contact our preferred travel agent, you arrange your own flights, book with your agent or online - that's up to you.

It's impossible to leave nothing but footprints and Soulfit Adventures recognises the environmental and social responsibilities that come with being a tour operator. We continually strive to reduce any negative environmental and cultural impacts of our trips on the regions we visit. The very nature of travel means we have an impact on the cultures we visit, so we try to make it a positive one by encouraging travelers to consider the benefits of offsetting their travel with Carbon Credits.

There are many considerations to responsible travel and none of us have all the answers. The fact that you are thinking about them is a good start. Soulfit Adventures is a boutique company and we aim for an evnironmentially-friendly office in the following ways:​

We try to be as paper free as possible
(e.g. using email whenever appropriate, down loadable itineraries and trip notes).​

We recycle all paper, plastics, cardboard, tin, glass and food scrapes.

We minimise the energy used in the office by not leaving equipment on
standby and switch off all computers, lights and unnecessary power each night.

Thank you for caring and being a responsible traveller!

If you have any questions relating to any of the above, please contact us.
