What I Do
Raven Rocks Resources (RRR) is a concierge service for older adventure travelers.

create tailored itineraries
identify necessary and enhancing services and products—including transportation, unique accommodations, guides and local assistance as well as appropriate gear, clothing, journaling methods to capture experience, contingency planning (surprise is integral to adventure!), and security measures
