IMPACT EXPEDITIONS

For women Explorers

Designed for, by, and with women explorers, the 2025 Impact expeditions will take women explorers to breathtaking locales, including wildlife conservation efforts in South Africa and cultural and natural wonders through the Peruvian Andes and Amazon, all while fostering women changemakers community and supporting social causes in gender equity and conservation.

The story of Impact Expeditions for Women Explorers begins with Carmen Chan, an entrepreneur and solo traveler from Hong Kong, who embarked her world travels for over two years with a quest to discover alternative ways to work and live. Frequently questioned about her safety and the challenges of traveling alone as a woman, Carmen recognized a pressing need for a platform that not only encourages women to explore the world but also empowers them to embrace their roles as changemakers. "Traveling offers a unique opportunity to explore both the outer world and one's inner self," she reflects. "It allows us to regroup, reset, and reinvent who we want to be."

IMPACT EXPEDITIONS For women Explorers

Through her journeys, she met many passionate changemakers around the world and discovered the power of adventure—not just to see new places but to challenge societal norms. "Every trip is a chance to redefine what it means to be a woman in exploration," she adds. Carmen envisioned expeditions that empower women to travel confidently and purposefully while forming a lifelong support network in changemaking. "I want to inspire others to embrace their roles as catalysts for positive change," she says. With this vision, she started Impact Expeditions for Women Explorers, dedicated to challenging societal norms and redefining women's roles in exploration and changemaking.

At the heart of Girls Be Change’s Impact Expeditions lies a commitment to holistic empowerment, designed with the six Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) guiding every step, including Gender Equality, Partnerships for the Goals, Life on Land, Quality Education, Reduced Inequalities, and Responsible Consumption and Production.
