Meet the Team
Meet Gilmara
I'm the CEO and Co-Founder of 70 Hours Adventure, but before 70HA became a business, travel was simply something I loved to do.
While building my career in engineering, raising a family, and navigating the responsibilities of everyday life, I found ways to keep exploring. I planned trips with friends, organized vacations for my family, and discovered that I genuinely enjoyed bringing all the pieces together—from researching destinations and creating itineraries to managing the logistics and budget.
Travel became more than a hobby. It became a passion and a reminder that you don't need unlimited time to experience the world.
That belief eventually inspired 70 Hours Adventure. Many of my early trips were quick getaways—sometimes spending less than 72 hours in a city or destination while still finding ways to experience as much as possible. From that idea, 70 Hours Adventure was born.
Today, I use my firsthand travel experience, planning skills, and love of discovering new cultures to help others explore the world with confidence and less stress.
I've now traveled to 70+ countries, many within the past several years, and I'm still exploring. My personal goal is to reach 100+ countries by 2030.
But 70HA isn't about counting countries. It's about making the most of every journey, creating meaningful memories, and proving that travel can be part of your life—even when life is busy.
Explore. Connect. Experience.
Meet Dilce
I'm the COO and Co-Founder of 70 Hours Adventure, and my journey with 70HA began at a time when I realized I needed to make more room for myself.
For years, I dedicated my career in the criminal justice field to helping victims of crime. I was passionate about supporting others, but somewhere along the way, I forgot to prioritize my own well-being. Life became a routine of responsibilities, work, and caring for others—with very little time to simply recharge and enjoy life.
Travel changed that for me.
Becoming part of what would eventually become 70 Hours Adventure gave me an opportunity to step away, experience new places, reconnect with myself, and return home refreshed. It reminded me how important it is to create space for joy, new experiences, and the things that make us feel alive.
I once thought traveling more than twice a year wasn't realistic. Traveling with my niece and 70HA Co-Founder, Gilmara, showed me that with thoughtful planning, even a busy life can include more opportunities to explore.
Gilmara and I bring great energy, different strengths, and a shared love of travel to 70HA. Together, we want to encourage others to make travel part of their lives—without feeling like they need unlimited vacation time or have to put the rest of their responsibilities on hold.
For me, 70HA is about more than seeing new places. It's about making time to live, recharge, connect, and experience more.
Our Vision
To inspire more people to make travel part of their lives—exploring the world, experiencing new cultures, and creating meaningful connections and memories along the way.
We envision 70 Hours Adventure becoming a trusted travel community that encourages people to explore more, connect more, and experience more
Our Mission
To inspire people—especially women—to experience more of the world through thoughtfully planned group adventures that make travel easier, more accessible, and possible even with limited time.
We create opportunities to explore new places, connect with new cultures, and make meaningful memories together.
Our Values
Adventure
We embrace curiosity, discovery, and the excitement of experiencing somewhere new.
Connection
We believe travel brings people together through shared experiences, cultures, and meaningful moments.
Passion
Our love of travel is at the heart of every journey we create.
Care
We thoughtfully plan the details so our travelers can feel supported, confident, and present in the experience.
Authenticity
We encourage travelers to go beyond simply visiting a destination—to experience its people, culture, food, and character.
Our WHY
We believe more people want to experience the world than actually get the opportunity to do so.
Too often, travel can feel out of reach—because of limited time, cost concerns, uncertainty about traveling alone, safety, or simply not knowing where to begin.
70 Hours Adventure was created to help break down those barriers.
Through thoughtfully planned adventures, firsthand travel knowledge, and the power of community, we help travelers feel more confident about stepping outside their comfort zones and experiencing new places and cultures.
But for us, travel is about more than the destination.
We want to build a community filled with adventure, laughter, connection, shared experiences, unforgettable memories, and friendships that continue long after the trip ends.
Because sometimes the best part of exploring the world is who you experience it with.
"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."
— African Proverb
