Welcome back to Stand Tall. This episode’s a bit different to our usual conversations. Today, I’m excited to share my own stand tall moment with you. Back in April 2023, I travelled to Malawi to lead a Women’s Partnership Challenge trip with Orbis Expeditions, a travel company specialising in sustainable tourism. The 10 day trip is for women, of all ages and backgrounds, who itch to have real purpose in their adventure. From a wildlife safari and eco-island stay to partnerships with female entrepreneurs and students - each experience is designed to benefit the local people, economy, and environment.But the trip also aims to take travellers out of their comfort zones with personal challenges including a hike up Malawi’s highest mountain. This really was a trip of a lifetime and I feel incredibly lucky to be able to share my experiences with you. I hope you enjoy listening to the moments I captured during my time there. Resources Orbis Expeditions https://www.orbis-expeditions.com/Sign up to The Women’s Partnership Challenge to Malawi in April 2024 https://www.orbis-expeditions.com/womens-partnership-challenge-malawiStand Tall with Rachel Bell: Kate Webb, Owner of Orbis Expeditions & The Responsible Safari Company https://www.buzzsprout.com/2007620/12643659Blantyre: Malawi’s second largest city https://www.malawitourism.com/regions/south-malawi/blantyre-limbe/Thyolo (pronounced “Cho’lo”) Fair Trade Tea Estate https://www.malawitourism.com/regions/south-malawi/thyolo-tea-estates/Mount Mulanje https://www.malawitourism.com/regions/south-malawi/mount-mulanje/Liwonde National Park https://www.malawitourism.com/regions/south-malawi/liwonde-national-park/Rainbow Hope Secondary School – STEM Build Malawi Documentary by IET https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Agj3Msy7wqkLake Malawi https://www.malawitourism.com/experiences/lake/Blue Zebra Island Lodge https://bluezebra.mw/Twitter: @OrbisExpInstagram: @orbisexpAbout Stand Tall Stand Tall with Rachel Bell is conversations about life, careers, and defining moments with people blazing a trail across property, architecture, engineering and construction.
