Hi all, apologies for the delay in sharing the next segment of our Deep Dive. We were traveling through India, and the unexpected loss of a very close friend slowed us down.
We’re excited to finally bring you the third installment. This time, we’re featuring Allison Fleece and Danielle Thornton—the dynamic duo known as Dallison—co-founders and chief adventurers of WHOA Travel, an adventure company building a global community of strong women chasing big dreams.
It was their own Kilimanjaro-sized dreams that kicked off their partnership and led to the beginning of WHOA. More than a decade later the company has taken curious and open minded women all around the globe, from the majestic corners of Antarctica to Patagonia to the Scottish Highlands.
And in doing so they’ve made it their mission to show that all bodies are made for the great outdoors and serious adventuring.
We chat with Allison about the inception of WHOA Plus, the impact of a certain special documentary, and how travel opens the door to a kinder world for us all.
