What to expect
Welcome to Adventure Collective, where travel isn’t just about ticking off bucket-list sights—it’s about transformation, connection, and those “I can’t believe this is my life” moments.
Here’s what it feels like to be part of the Collective:
Landing like a VIP – From the moment you touch down, you’re covered. No fumbling with Google Maps or trying to remember your high school Spanish—someone will be waiting to whisk you away to our first home base.
A welcome dinner that feels like a reunion – Except instead of awkward small talk, we’re already laughing over our first meal together. When like-minded women gather around a table, the energy shifts—walls drop, stories rise, and new friendships start to bloom.
Your own space, always (if you want it) – Deep connections don’t require bunk beds. You’ll be paired in a beautiful shared room to spark connection, but private rooms are available if solo recharge time is more your style.
Choose your own pace – Some days, we’ll adventure together. Other times, you’ll pick from a few curated options—or take time to reflect, journal, or sip coffee seaside while reconnecting with your own inner rhythm. We build in breathing room on purpose.
Meet the locals, not just the landmarks – We don’t just visit places; we connect with the people who call them home. Think: storytelling circles, hands-on experiences, shared meals, and learning traditions firsthand.
Travel solo, but never alone – You may arrive solo, but you’ll leave with a crew of incredible women who just get you. These friendships run deep—and often far beyond the final day.
Get ready to feel... Supported. Adventurous. Bold. Empowered. And, most importantly—ALIVE.

Intentions + Introductions
About 3–4 weeks before departure, we’ll gather for a virtual Pre-Trip Collective Connection Call. This isn't just a logistics briefing—it’s your first step into the community. You'll meet your fellow travelers and start building real friendships, begin exploring your Collective Compass (a soulful journal to help you set your intention for the trip and beyond), and reflect on what you want to release, receive, and remember.
Your inner journey begins now. Because transformation doesn’t wait for wheels up.

Fly into Liberia and head to the foothills of Rincón de la Vieja, where volcanic peaks and jungle air welcome you. Ease into the adventure with a sunset welcome dinner and our first Collective Compass circle—a soulful space to set intentions and begin our journey together.

From Mountains to Magic
Today we trade mountain peaks for ocean breezes.

Wake up to ocean breezes and breakfast at leisure at our coastal lodge. Then it’s time to hit the waves—our private group surf class at Playa Guiones is designed for all levels, whether you’re whether you’re wobbling on your board or nailing it like a wave whisperer.
After working up an appetite, we’ll head into town for a fresh, local lunch. The afternoon is yours—wander the shops, sneak in a beach nap, or grab smoothies with your new travel besties. Tonight, we’ll come back together for dinner and relaxed conversation under the stars.

After a final slow morning—maybe a walk on the beach or one last smoothie in the sun—we’ll head to Liberia for flights home. Expect hugs, swapped contact info, and talk of future adventures.

post-trip
We’ll meet again for three post-trip Collective Connection calls to reflect and reconnect. One month after the journey, we’ll share what’s shifted and what’s sticking. At the three-month mark, we’ll revisit the intentions and goals you set, together. And a year later, we’ll gather once more to celebrate how this experience helped shape your next chapter.
These friendships don’t fade—they deepen. You’ll leave with more than memories. You’ll leave with a Collective.

You’re craving a reset—not just a break. You want to slow down, unplug, and reconnect with yourself, others, and the natural world.
You love immersive, small-group travel that’s high on authenticity and low on mass tourism.
You’re excited to stay in boutique hotels, eat farm-fresh meals, and support inspiring local women, artisans, and guides.
You’re the kind of traveler who finds joy in both group connection and solo hammock time.
You can hike a bit, journal a bit, laugh a lot, and say “yes” to new experiences (like a pottery class, a cacao tasting, or a beach walk under the stars).
this is not for you if…
You expect five-star luxury with butlers and daily turn-down service—this is barefoot elegance, not black-tie.
You want every minute scheduled with back-to-back tours. We believe in margin, magic, and the power of presence.
You’re not into group dynamics or shared dinners—this trip is designed for connection and camaraderie.
You need air conditioning 24/7 or can’t live without your hairdryer. (Some spots are off-grid and tropical!)
You prefer to spectate rather than participate—this journey is about showing up fully and being real.
Meet your trip host
Lindsay
Hey there! I’m Lindsay, your trip designer, adventure buddy, and go-to person for all things travel magic.
I’ve spent years guiding, planning, and curating incredible travel experiences, and I’ve personally crafted this trip with amazing local partners. This isn’t just another itinerary—it’s a handpicked collection of my dream experiences, and I cannot wait to share them with you!
A few things you should know about me:
I take my coffee very seriously. If you need espresso recommendations, I’m your girl.
I have a dog named Leo, who is probably having FOMO while I’m on this trip with you.
I’ve traveled to 58 countries (and counting!) and deeply believe in the power of travel to create connection.
I believe the best moments happen when you step outside your comfort zone—whether that’s trying a new food, striking up a conversation with a local, or saying yes to an unexpected adventure.
Let’s do this. Let’s make some ridiculous memories together.
-
Our groups are made up of bold, curious women—solo travelers, besties, and even mother-daughter duos—who thrive on deep conversations, belly laughs, and epic experiences. Most of our travelers are in their 40s and 50s, but if you vibe with our adventurous spirit, you’ll fit right in, no matter your age!
While our trips aren’t extreme endurance challenges (no scaling Everest required!), we do ask that you’re comfortable walking for long periods unassisted—because the best views, hidden gems, and local delights usually require a little legwork. If that sounds like your kind of adventure, then welcome to the Collective—you’ve found your people!
-
Solo travelers, rejoice! Most of our adventurers come solo, so you’ll never feel like the odd one out.
From the moment you sign up, we help you connect with your fellow travelers through our online trip forum, virtual “Trip Talks,” and pre-trip meetups.
By the time you arrive, it’ll feel like you’re reuniting with old friends—except these friends are just as adventurous as you.
-
A lot! We take care of the logistics so you can focus on the adventure. Your trip includes boutique stays, immersive experiences, expert local guides, most meals, and all the unforgettable moments in between.
Basically, we handle the hard stuff—you show up, soak it all in, and make memories for life. Some extras (like flights and cocktails) aren’t included.
Check out each adventure’s page for the full breakdown.
-
We get it—plans change. That’s why our cancellation policy varies by trip, with one golden rule: the earlier you let us know, the better!
You'll find the exact payment and cancellation terms on each trip’s page, so you’ll always know what to expect. No hidden fees, no fine print surprises—because unexpected detours are fun on adventures, but not when it comes to refunds.
For extra peace of mind, we also offer travel insurance to help protect your trip investment. Because while we’re all about embracing the unknown, some things (like cancellations) are better covered.
-
At Adventure Collective, connection is kind of our thing—so on each trip, you'll be thoughtfully matched with a roommate who’s here for the same reasons you are: soulful adventure, new friendships, and maybe a little magic.
Prefer your own space to recharge, journal, or sprawl like a starfish? We've got you. A handful of private rooms are available for each departure. Just let us know when you sign up and we’ll share the solo upgrade pricing.
-
If you can handle a solid day of exploring, occasional hikes, and maybe some spontaneous dance parties, you’ll be just fine on most adventures.
Each trip has a different activity level, and we always include the details up front. Some days might involve hiking, biking, or kayaking, but there’s always time to slow down, soak it in, and enjoy a sunset cocktail.
If you’re unsure, just ask—we’ll help you pick the right adventure!
