Meet Georgee
Hi, I’m Georgee.
In 2013, I was sitting in a tiny plane flying toward the Himalayas for a trek to Everest Base Camp. It took years of “wondering if I could” before I finally said yes. I didn’t go because I was brave — I went because I was tired of waiting.
On that trail, the mountain didn’t care about my age or my doubts. And somewhere in the quiet, I found a version of myself I thought I’d lost.
That trip changed everything. Not because it was Everest, but because it proved something I’d always suspected — adventure doesn’t have an age limit. And neither do the women who chase it.
I’ve spent 30+ years building businesses, communities, and things that connect people. I’ve worked in sales, marketing, and community building — including growing a community of over 85,000 members. What all of that taught me is that the best experiences come from authentic human connection, not transactions.
I created She Can Explore because women our age deserve a place that takes our adventures seriously. Not a pink-washed version of travel. Not a retirement hobby site. A real resource built for women who are still planning, still moving, still exploring.
Here’s what that looks like:

What I Believe
- That you don’t need fixing — you need space, fresh air, and honest connection to yourself
- That we’re all more powerful than we’ve been taught to believe
- That you have the right to choose again, and again, and again
- That boldness doesn’t always look loud
- That adventure doesn’t have an age limit
- That laughter, nature, and a good conversation fix most things
This is dedicated to my dad, who had one simple rule: “Love people.” Every day I do my best to honor that rule in his memory. Some days I do really well at it. Other days I fail miserably.
Fun Facts About Georgee
Family
I have two grown children and a Westie named Mickey. My children still keep me on my toes and are by far my greatest teachers. Mickey thinks he is my protector and my daily walking companion — rain or shine, we’re out there.
Nature
To keep myself sane I spend time outside every day. Usually a 5km walk in my favourite forest by the river. Occasionally an endurance event, but only if I can wear a costume.
Everest
I love nature, especially being in the mountains. Mount Everest is my favourite and I have been obsessed probably from the time I was about 5 years old. One of my favourite vacations was a trek to Everest Base Camp. The Great Himalaya Trail is next on my list.
Reading
I love to read. Mostly non-fiction. I almost always have a book and notebook with me. Events where I have the opportunity to meet the author and get my books signed… awesome!
Coffee & Potato Chips
Coffee and potato chips are my addictions. That Lay’s potato chip commercial that says “No one can eat just one” definitely describes me. Currently I am in recovery for the potato chips (at least at the time I am writing this.)
Podcasts
Podcasts that are long form and interview awesome people are my jam. My favourite host is Rich Roll. A few of my other favourites are Solved by Mark Manson, Cool Conversations, Lex Fridman and Dan Becker Podcast.
Singing & Dancing
I love to sing and dance. I am not very good at either… and I don’t let that stop me. I often make up my own songs to entertain my clients, kids, friends, family… and pretty much anyone who will listen.
Laughter
Laughing is one of my favourite things. Need someone to tell a silly joke to… hit me up. I think I’m funny and so does my mom… my kids disagree.
