I wanted to provide an opportunity to not only lower the barrier of entry to get more women playing outside but ALSO create an opportunity to allow more women to connect in wild spaces with one another.
That is why I didn’t even skip a beat when saying HECK YES to working alongside TrovaTrip and local Guiding Companies to host hiking, backpacking, adventure, and camping trips. These trips are something I wish had when I first started dabbling in the outdoors, so I decided to create what I wish existed years ago.
All are welcome! This could be your first time ever visiting a National Park or sleeping in a tent. This could be your 5th hiking trip and your 100th time sleeping in a tent. It doesn’t matter. Join us!
Make the badass and brave & maybe scary decision to say YES and click BOOK on one of the adventure trips. (FREAKIN’ PROUD OF YOU)
Book your flight + get stoked during the days leading up to the trip, engage in the group chat with your fellow travelers, and receive detailed packing lists and trip information along the way to make sure you feel prepared when the day comes.
Fly into the designated airport where you will book your own transfer or we all get picked up in big ole’ Ford transit van(s) by our awesome local guide(s) who are with us the entire trip [they drive us around, teach us about the area, run point on the itinerary logistics, help with cooking all the meals] and we head to wherever we are staying the first night (campground or hotel).
Learn how to set up a tent, get your swag bags, partake in the introductions circle-up, and get a rundown of your camping gear (for the camping specific trips) on the first night and become a PRO by the end of the trip.
Enjoy all the hiking and adventure activities planned as the days go by & learn more and more about the other women on the trip through trail conversations and freshly-made dinner around the fire at the local restaurant.
Take way too many pictures, eat all the trail snacks, and create memories that will fill your soul for years to come.
Get shuttled/driven to the airport again on the final day (sad panda) and head home with a full heart.
Stayed connected with the women you met on the trip, share the post-trip stoke, and KEEP ON GETTING OUT THERE
I’ve been hosting these incredible, life-changing trips all over the US and world for 3 years. I’ve had the privilege of witnessing brave women from all experience levels step outside their comfort zones, learn how to set up tents for the first time, and see what their bodies and minds are capable of on trail. How COOL is that?
“This trip exceeded every expectation I had. From the time we got together on Saturday for dinner until our guide dropped us at the airport on Friday, it was non-stop. We packed in more in one week than most people could imagine. I was pushed beyond my comfort zone in the best ways and this trip showed me I’m more capable than I believe. It was 100% worth it.”
“AMAZING. Trova, Wildland Trekking and Bethany did an incredible job preparing us for the trip, helping us work through logistics, and creating a welcoming space before we even arrived. Everything was so well planned, the guides were so nice and knowledgeable and made for an awesome, safe adventure in Yosemite. I came away with a full heart and 12 new friends.”
I traveled with Bethany to Patagonia in October 2023. Bethany is a warm and encouraging woman who makes every effort to empower those around her to be their best and feel confident to take on audacious goals. I’m excited to have two more adventures planned with her in 2024, and I’m looking forward to seeing what else she’ll be doing in the future!
These trips have women ranging in ages 25-55!! How cool is that?
Nope! There will be a 25% down payment (deposit) to confirm your spot, but after that – you can choose to pay with Affirm (US residents only) which will be automatic monthly payments leading up to 90 days prior to the trip. If you live outside of the US, you will also need to put down the 25% deposit and you will log into your account and pay as you’d like against your balance which is due 90 days prior.
Yes! Which is the BEST part because you will walk away with TONS of new rad friends. I would say 90% of travelers come solo and don’t know anyone else on the trip. 🙂
Each itinerary will outline what’s included/what’s not included (it will vary). Most of the time, all of your camping gear is provided [except a sleeping bag] and you will just need to bring your personal items & hiking gear!
You sure can! But it will not unfortunately change the cost of the trip.
They sure are! They are all Certified Wilderness First Responders.
Each trip will have a local guide(s) that are experts in the area and will be the ones driving the van(s), coordinating all the logistics, getting all the meals together, and teaching us about the local area.
It is not required, but it’s recommended!
You betcha! I prove an EXTENSIVE packing lists and LOTS of tips for getting ready for the trip to make sure you feel comfortable and have everything you need.
Heck yeah! Leading up to the trip, you will provide the local Guiding Company we will be with on the trip any dietary restrictions you have and they will cater the menu to accommodate.
Nope! ALL EXPERIENCE LEVELS ARE WELCOME! There is so much room for learning on these trips and you will have me and the local guide to show you the ropes. 🙂
100%! Lots of travelers choose to do this in case of flight delays. There will be a group chat started prior to the trip, so you can coordinate with other travelers to share a hotel room to save some $$.
Heck yeah it is!
Weekly newsletter where I share outdoor education, safety tips, adventure trip info, gear/products I am loving, newsletter-exclusive mini giveaways, Iron Soul Trailblazers updates, and anything that will help YOU get out on trail.
