Mujer on the Move, Inc. Aventurera Values

​

​​Mujer on the Move, Inc. (MOTM) was intentionally created to provide all Latinas and mujeres Aventureras (adventurous women 21+) with a safe, unique, and intentional travel community while exploring different cities and states throughout Latin America (LATAM). MOTM is an inclusive and safe space for all women (21+), however, it does center and caters specifically to the Latina/Latine experience.

 

This means that all MOTM Experiences, Retreats, and Merch items are created with the intention of connecting Latinas to their Latine roots and motherlands. MOTM Services, Retreats, and Merchandise items are culturally rich, uphold the beautiful "Spanglish" language, and center beautiful LATAM symbols, flowers, birds, histories, etc. Therefore, all diverse Aventureras who engage in MOTM related Services and Experiences (MOTM Experiences, MOTM Retreats, MOTM Merch, MOTM social networks) agree to adhere to the following "MOTM Aventurera Values:" 

​

​

1. RESPECT: 

  • I will prioritize self-care, well-being, and respect for other MOTM Aventureras, MOTM tour guides, and  cultures and customs of the people and places we visit throughout LATAM.

  • I will make conscious choices to minimize negative impacts on the environment and local LATAM communities. 

  • I will celebrate the diversity of experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives within our MOTM community and LATAM communities, restaurants, businesses, etc. we collectively interact with.

​​

​

2. HONOR THE MIDDLE GROUND LATINAS OFTEN FIND THEMSELVES IN 

  • I will embrace the unique blend of cultures and identities that define the Latina experience, both in the U.S. and in their motherlands throughout LATAM. 

  • I will connect with Latinas to foster a safe, loving, joyful community of adventurous women who share their love for LATAM travel and experiences. 

  • I will support and uplift fellow Latinas through shared experiences and knowledge.

  • I will not judge, criticize, or make an Aventurera feel bad for not sharing the same "Latine" experience as I (e.g. not speaking Spanish, being 2+ generations removed Latine, etc.) 

​​

​

3. OPEN-MINDEDNESS TO LATINE CULTURES & EXPERIENCES

  • I will immerse myself in local LATAM cultures, traditions, and languages.

  • I will challenge stereotypes and biases I may carry and embrace new perspectives.

  • I will build genuine relationships with locals and fellow MOTM Aventureras 

​​

​

4. INTENTIONAL AND RESPECTFUL LATAM TRAVEL PRACTICES

  • I will minimize ecological footprint and support local businesses.

  • I will choose experiences that benefit local communities and preserve cultural heritage.

  • I will make conscious choices about my purchases and consumption habits.

​​

​

5. MAKE A GENUINE EFFORT TO SPEAK SPANISH/ THE LOCAL LANGUAGE 

  • I will embrace Spanish and/or other indigenous language learning as a tool for cultural understanding and connection with  MOTM tour guides and locals throughout LATAM. 

  • I will use Spanish and/or other indigenous language respectfully and avoid cultural appropriation.

​​​

​

6. HELP CREATE A SAFE SPACE FOR ALL TRAVELING AVENTURERAS 

  • I will foster a supportive and inclusive community of Latina and women travelers (21+) by bringing my best self forward. 

  • I will share safety tips and resources to empower women to travel confidently and safely. 

​

​

Please make sure you have read these values carefully and fully agree to adhere by the "MOTM Aventurera Values" when booking a MOTM Experience or Retreat as creating a safe, nurturing, and healing community for Latinas and mujeres Aventureras (21+) is of upmost importance to Mujer on the Move, Inc.
