A scenic shot of Tiger’s Nest Monastery in Bhutan currently graces the homepage of the Adventure Brat Website. The exotic destination is this week’s travel pick being offered by Kelley Counts and his unique Web-based company designed for adventure seekers.

Counts attributes his involvement in the tourism industry to past travels through Europe, Africa, and the United States. During these excursions, he met a number of tour operators offering exciting and affordable, yet often overlooked, vacation and tour services. “I wanted to start a company”, recalls Counts, “that offered affordable marketing solutions for tour operators all over the world.”

Adventure Brat is a user-friendly travel marketplace connecting travelers with tour operators worldwide. The site is designed to provide adventure seekers with a means of comparing travel deals and vacation packages by location or budget. A free newsletter, travel offers, advice, tips, and featured destinations are all offered through the website.

“Experience a new travel destination every week!” is Kelley Counts’ invitation. To browse available vacation and tour listings, visit the company’s website: http://www.adventurebrat.com
