Refund guidelines

In our effort to keep the costs of our trips down and enable us to package trips to small groups Walkabouts for Women has a NON-REFUNDABLE deposit policy.  Collected trip deposits are used to secure your spot on the trip, arrange accommodations, make reservations, book local transportation, and provide deposits to our vendors and wholesalers.

 

Our trips begin at the scheduled time of your arrival at the airport in your destination city. We are not responsible for missed flights or connections. We will however, attempt to accommodate your delayed arrival.  You will be asked to cover additional costs, if incurred.

Refund calculations:

Your initial deposit is non-refundable.

If your cancellation is received in writing 46 or more days before trip, you will receive a refund of trip fees paid over and above the total of the trip deposit plus $100 fee.

If your cancellation is received in our office 45 days or less before trip there will be no refund of trip fees or deposit paid.

 

In rare instances we will refund the trip fees (minus a $100 service charge) if we can fill your spot.  However, we must sell all available spots on the trip before we can fill a potential cancellation.  Please let us know as quickly as possible if it appears that you will have a change in plans so we can do everything possible to fill your spot. 

 

Refunds are provided if Walkabouts for Women must cancel the trip for any reason.

 

Trip cancellation/trip interruption insurance is strongly encouraged!

In order to avoid disappointment and expense if you need to cancel or interrupt your trip for any reason we urge you to purchase some type of insurance.  You may purchase coverage through your own insurance company or through a travel agent, as well as companies such as:

Insure My Trip

Travel Guard

Travelex  

There are many other insurance companies available for this service.  Walkabouts for Women does not recommend any specific company at this time.

Wisdom of the Five Elements

Understanding the five elemental forces: fire, water, metal, wood, earth give one a better understanding of the eastern medicine model. In this class we explore the concept of chi and its expressions in the body. This is nothing new. Taoist practice has been around for thousands of years. This class simply presents movement, breath and meditation as vehicles to explore things that we would already know had we been brought up in some Asian cultures.

GREETINGS

Goodday,


  I have been waiting for you to contact me regarding your bank draft of
Eight Hundred thousand United states dollars but i never heard from you
so i decided to deposit the draft with FedEx express courier service,
Nigeria, West Africa. I travelled out of the country for a (2) months
surveying project because I work for a construction firm in
Nigeria.However, as you may know, this courier company do not ship funds
in CASH but in confirmable bank draft via their London office which
covers the European Union and Africa respectively.What I need you to do
now is to open communication with FedEx as soon as possible to know
exactly when they will deliver your parcel to you because of the expiry
date.


I have effected payment for the delivery charges, Insurance, Premium and
clearance certificate fee of the bank draft stating that the funds is not
meant to sponsor narcotics and terrorism.The Only fee you are expected to
send to them is the Security keeping fee which is $120 USD. I would have
paid for that but they did not agree simply because they do not know when
you will contact them and in case of demurrage.

Your parcel's serial number is (FD192837WF).


In conclusion, endeavour to reconfirm your postal address...your phone number and your country  and direct
telephone number to them again to avoid mishaps during delivery and also
request for a tracking number after you must have sent the security
keeping fee of $100 USD to them.


Below is the information for the dispatch officer from FedEx in charge of
your parcel:

Contact Person:Mr jefferson Donald
    Email: (fd.express01@w.cn)
    Tel: +2347064762249.


contact him without further delay so he can give you directives on how to
pay the security keeping fee and how you will receive yourbank draft. Also
remember to send me an email once you get your bank draft.

Yours sincerely,
Mrs joanna Benz

Good Day,

I am Mr. Niam Cho, Director of Operations of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd, Sai Wan
HoBranch, Hong Kong.I have an obscured business suggestion for you.I am
here-byseeking your service in helping me recieve a large amount of money

patiently wait retirement.

For security purpose, due to telecom interception in Hong Kong, I shall not
accept or acknowledge any phone call. Only fax messages/emails would be
treated in relation to this proposal but not without this code;[CODE NO:
