Walking the Camino de Santiago is about so much more than reaching the final destination.

Along the Portuguese Coastal Way, we walked through charming towns, followed centuries-old paths, shared meals and conversations, and experienced the beauty of slowing down together. Every mile brought its own challenges, laughter, encouragement, and moments of reflection.

Reaching Santiago de Compostela was an unforgettable ending to a journey shaped by connection, perseverance, and the simple joy of putting one foot in front of the other.

Guatemala Women’s Adventure

November 2024

Guatemala was a beautiful combination of adventure, culture, connection, and a little well-earned relaxation.

We explored the colorful streets of Antigua, tasted traditional Guatemalan food, connected with local artisans, and experienced the country’s rich culture in meaningful ways. Some of the women challenged themselves on an overnight Acatenango adventure, while our time at Lake Atitlán introduced us to breathtaking scenery and inspiring local communities.

This journey was especially meaningful to me because Guatemala is the country where I was born. Sharing its beauty, people, traditions, and spirit with this group of women made the experience unforgettable.

Adventure Highlights

  • Exploring historic Antigua

  • Traditional cuisine and cultural experiences

  • The overnight Acatenango adventure

  • Relaxation and spa time at Casa Santo Domingo

  • Lake Atitlán and its surrounding communities

  • Meeting local artisans and learning about their traditions

Havasupai Women’s Group Adventure

April 2024

Hidden deep within the Grand Canyon, Havasupai is one of those places that hardly feels real until you are standing beneath its brilliant turquoise waterfalls.

This women’s adventure challenged us physically, rewarded us with extraordinary beauty, and reminded us what can happen when women encourage one another through every difficult mile. Between hiking through the canyon, spending time beside the waterfalls, and sharing camp life together, we created the kind of memories that can only come from experiencing something truly remarkable as a group.

It was demanding, beautiful, and absolutely unforgettable.

Adventure Highlights

  • Hiking into the remote Havasupai Canyon

  • Experiencing its famous turquoise waterfalls

  • Camping surrounded by spectacular scenery

  • Supporting one another through a challenging journey

  • Learning the importance of respecting Havasupai land and community

  • Creating friendships and memories along the trail

Great Smoky Mountains Women’s Adventure

July 2023

This adventure took us into the heart of Great Smoky Mountains National Park for an experience filled with mountain views, shared challenges, and plenty of laughter.

We climbed to LeConte Lodge along the popular Alum Cave Trail, passing some of the park’s most memorable scenery. With no road leading to the lodge —just a trail —we reached it on our own two feet, which made spending the night high in the mountains feel even more rewarding.

For our return, we followed the Boulevard Trail and had the opportunity to hike a section of the legendary Appalachian Trail. It was a challenging, unforgettable journey that reminded us how much farther we can go with a supportive group of women beside us.

Adventure Highlights:

  • Hiking the iconic Alum Cave Trail to LeConte Lodge

  • Spending the night at the highest guest lodge in the eastern United States

  • Descending by way of the scenic Boulevard Trail

  • Hiking a section of the Appalachian Trail

  • Encouraging one another through a challenging mountain journey

  • Sharing laughter, meals, and unforgettable views

  • Experiencing the beauty of disconnecting from everyday life
