Women's Guide to Defining Your Adventure

You carry the weight of the world every day—but you deserve to see it too

Ok, you're ready to check your dream adventure off your bucket-list: Iceland, The Dolomites, or maybe a Patagonia hiking adventure that’s been calling your name for years.

But let’s be real: you’re juggling work deadlines, family and social obligations, and probably 27 group texts at once. Who has the energy to plan a big trip or find people to go with? (How is it possible that all of your girlfriends have completely opposite schedules?!)

Thankfully, we live in a time where finding your people—and expert insight—is easier than ever. Outdoor adventures don’t have to be intense, daunting, or done solo—especially now that options like group travel and even solo tours for women make it easier than ever to get out there.

So how do you define what your perfect adventure trip looks like?

Let’s break it down.

Adventure Doesn’t Have to Look One Certain Way

First things first: adventure travel isn’t one-size-fits-all.

For some women, adventure looks like a Patagonia hiking journey—long trail days, fresh air, and the kind of scenery that makes you feel unstoppable.

For others, it’s something softer. Kayaking through crystal-clear water, hiking to a viewpoint, or simply waking up somewhere that makes them feel small in the best way.

We're gonna let you in on a secret—both are valid because adventure is personal.

It can be bold and sweaty or calm and scenic. It can be your first time leaving the country or your tenth national park. It can be pushing your limits or giving yourself space to breathe.

The only thing adventure has to be? Something that feels like you.

Ask Yourself These Questions to Find Your Perfect Trip

If you’re not sure where to start, try asking yourself a few simple questions:

What do I need right now?
Do you want a challenge? A reset? A break from routine? A reminder that you’re capable of more than your everyday schedule?

How active do I want this to feel?
Maybe you want full trekking days… or maybe your version of adventure includes a short hike followed by an incredible meal and a cozy place to sleep.

Both count.

🧚 Hint from Our Adventure-Travel Fairy: If you’ve been craving a trip that’s active, empowering, and rooted in nature, a guided women's hiking adventure in Patagonia might be exactly the kind of challenge-meets-community sweet spot.

What kind of landscape am I craving?
Mountains, ocean, snow, jungle, desert—sometimes the destination chooses you before you even realize it.

Do I want to go solo, or experience the magic of women traveling together?
Some women love traveling alone or joining solo tours for women, while others want the comfort of a built-in community from day one. Others want the comfort of knowing they’re not figuring it all out by themselves. There’s no wrong answer—just what feels right for this season of life.

What’s Holding You Back (and Why You’re Not Alone)

If you’ve been dreaming about an adventure for years but haven’t booked it yet, you’re not failing. You’re human.

For so many women, the biggest barriers sound like:

• “I don’t have anyone to go with.”
• “I don’t have time to plan something this big.”
• “I’m not outdoorsy enough.”
• “I want to feel safe.”
• “I feel guilty taking time for myself.”

We get it. Truly.

But here’s what we want you to know: you don’t need to have it all figured out to start.

Adventure isn’t reserved for the fearless or the ultra-experienced. It’s for anyone willing to say yes to something more.

 

Why Group Adventure Travel Can Be a Game-Changer for Women

This is where adventure starts to feel a lot more doable.

Group travel takes the overwhelming parts (planning, logistics, navigating alone) and replaces them with something women don’t get enough of: support.

When you travel with a group, you get:

• An itinerary built by professionals
• A community of women who are stoked to be there—and the unforgettable energy that comes from women traveling together
• The confidence of exploring somewhere new together
• Shared memories that hit different when you’re not doing it alone

It’s adventure with a safety net. With laughter. With people who become friends faster than you’d ever dream.

That’s exactly why we’re so excited about experiences like our local Guide-led, women 's only Patagonia hiking trip—an adventure designed for women who want to challenge themselves on the trail, connect deeply with others, and experience one of the most breathtaking places on earth…together.

Your Adventure Can Start Exactly Where You Are

You don’t need the perfect schedule.
You don’t need to be the most experienced traveler.
You don’t need to wait until life slows down.

You just need a trip that feels aligned with who you are right now.

Because adventure isn’t about proving something. It’s about remembering yourself.

So whether your dream looks like hiking through Patagonia or watching the northern lights in Iceland, know this: You deserve to see the world—not someday, but soon.
