Welcome to The Women’s Adventure Gang!
“To be authentic, we must cultivate the courage to be imperfect - and vulnerable” - Brené Brown
An unquantifiable magic happens when women get together outside their comfort zone in new places. Adventure travel is like miracle grow for friendships and self-discovery. If you have been searching for something more, something real, something life-changing, a community of likeminded women to share new experiences with, look no further.
I am so happy you are here and I can’t wait to host you on a retreat! - Lydia
I rediscovered myself and my passion for hiking, camping and all things outdoor adventure after my 2nd child was born and felt completely lost. I never thought joining a local adventure mom online group and signing up for one snowshoe hike would transform my life but nature is a powerful force. The more I hiked with other women, the more we laughed and bonded and connected with each other and ourselves.
Hey! Hi, I’m Lydia and
I am pumped to adventure with YOU!
Bringing women together for adventure and self-discovery is one of my deepest passion, rights up there with finding the perfect combination of sweet and salty hiking snacks.
I can’t help myself but gasp when I see a beautiful view for the first time or step off a plane in a new country. I am completely addicted to iced coffee with oat milk but will more than happily substitute it with an instant coffee hot chocolate combo in the back country.
Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life — and travel — leaves marks on you.” Anthony Bourdain
How will you spend your one precious life?
What to expect from a trip with The Women’s Adventure Gang
Adventure, relaxation, bonding, laughing, good food, experiences outside of your comfort zone is just the tip of the iceberg when you join a My Adventure Girl Gang trip
Whether you participate in an adventure/hiking trip or relaxing book club retreat, you will leave refreshed and renewed with new friends, ready to tackle anything . . . and maybe book another trip
Some trips are focused on hiking and involve more rigorous physical activity while other trips are centered around adventure, exploring a new culture or getting cozy with a good book. Hiking trips tend to have fewer restaurants in favor of sandwiches and snacks with stunning views, more challenges and more personal growth.
All trips include accommodations, transportation once you arrive at the destination, meals and activities (unless otherwise specified)
