Meet Tara ShortÂ
Tara is The Founder & CEO of Green Edventures Tours!
Tara started Green Edventures in 2009 with her last $1000 and a vision to create an eco tour company that focused on women’s adventures and to help ordinary people do extraordinary things through sustainable travel.
Tara is from Lockport, Illinois and currently lives in Chicago with her partner, Kelly, their two dogs, and a frog!
Tara loves to help people step outside their comfort zones on trips, along with teaching about animals and conservation issues. Her biggest lesson that she wants everyone to know is that dreams do come true. She is living proof of that as the founder of this woman owned business which supports other women to fulfill their dreams, by traveling to the destinations found on most people’s bucket list.
