What to expect
Welcome to Adventure Collective, where travel isn’t just about ticking off bucket-list sights—it’s about transformation, connection, and the kind of “I can’t believe this is my life” moments that stay with you forever.
Here’s what it feels like to be part of the Collective:
Land like a VIP – From the moment you arrive, you’re covered. No deciphering signs or awkward solo taxis—someone will be waiting to whisk you to our first boutique home base.
A welcome dinner that feels like a reunion – Except you’ve never met. Picture a buzzing table of like-minded women, laughter rising over shared plates and local wine. This is where the magic begins—stories spill, walls drop, and new friendships take root.
Your own space (if you want it) – You’ll share a room with one amazing new friend (no bunk beds here), but private rooms are available if solo recharge time is your jam.
Choose your pace – Some days, we’ll adventure together. Other times, you’ll follow your curiosity—maybe it’s a seaside coffee, a moment with your journal, or a local experience from the Destination Guide. 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 Collective of incredible women who just get you. These friendships run deep—and often far beyond the final day.
Get ready to feel Connected. Brave. Inspired. Alive.
This isn’t just a trip. It’s a turning point.

Daily Itinerary
pre-trip
August 2026
Intentions + Introductions
About 3–4 weeks before departure, we’ll hop on a virtual Collective Connection Call—a first taste of the magic ahead. You’ll meet your fellow travelers, get cozy with your Collective Compass (our transformational travel journal), and set soulful intentions for your journey. This isn’t a boring info dump—it’s where we start to soften, release, and remember who we really are.
Your journey starts before your suitcase is even zipped. Transformation doesn't wait for takeoff.
day 1
Arrival + Acropolis Vibes
saturday, september 26
Touch down in timeless Athens—where ancient ruins meet rooftop cocktails (or mocktails). A private driver will be waiting at the airport to whisk you straight to our boutique hotel—no stress, no guesswork, just a smooth start to your adventure.
After settling in, we’ll gather for a welcome dinner overlooking the Acropolis. Expect clinking glasses, vibrant Greek flavors, and easy laughter under the night sky.
Tonight’s our first Collective Compass circle—a grounding moment to set intentions for the journey ahead, together.
Stay: Athens Fresh Hotel (or similar)
day 2
Taste + Time Travel
sunday, september 27
Today’s about uncovering the soul of Athens—through its flavors, myths, and postcard-perfect views.
We’ll kick things off with a privately guided Flavors of Athens Experience, where you’ll snack your way through Greek favorites like koulouri, souvlaki, local cheeses, and rich coffee.
In the afternoon, history takes the stage. On our Myths + Monuments Walk, we’ll explore ancient wonders like the Parthenon and the Theater of Dionysus, brought to life by a guide who knows their gods from their gorgons. You’ll leave with stories that stick.
We’ll wind down in Plaka, Athens’ most picturesque neighborhood, perfect for a relaxed stroll through cobblestone streets and bougainvillea-covered shops. Today’s all about uncovering the soul of Athens—through its flavors, myths, and iconic views.
Stay: Athens Fresh Hotel (or similar)
day 3
monday, september 28
Cruise + Cyclades
Today we trade the mainland for island magic. Hop on a ferry and sail the Aegean to Paros, where golden beaches, whitewashed alleys, and Cycladic charm await.
Once we check in, the afternoon is yours to explore Naoussa, a postcard-perfect fishing village with bougainvillea, sea views, and taverna-lined paths that beg for a slow wander.
Whether you’re craving a dip in turquoise waters, a chilled glass of wine, or time with your journal by the sea—Paros makes it easy to slip into island time.
stay: Saint Andrea seaside resort (or similar)
day 4
Fields + Flavors
tuesday, september 29
Today’s about slow living, sunshine, and flavors that taste like they were made just for us—because they kind of were.
We’ll head to a local organic farm just outside Naoussa, where we’ll meet the owners, hear their stories, and taste the land’s bounty—grapes, capers, creamy cheeses, and olive oil so smooth it should be illegal.
After a breezy farm-to-table lunch, we’ll return to Paros with the afternoon wide open. Whether you're craving a quiet coffee, a seaside stroll, or a boutique browse, you’ll have the rest of the day to explore at your own pace.
Your Destination Guide is full of our favorite local gems—perfect for discovering Paros on your own or with your new crew.
stay: Saint Andrea seaside resort (or similar)
day 5
Villages + Views
wednesday, september 30
One last island hop—this time to Naxos, the largest (and arguably most underrated) gem in the Cyclades. After a ferry ride across the deep blue Aegean, we’ll check in and head out to explore the villages of Naxos—each one a little quirkier and more charming than the last.
Expect pottery in Damalas, citron liqueur in Halki, and a warm welcome in Apeiranthos, where old-world rhythm meets soul-stirring flavor.
Tonight, we’ll raise a glass over a cliffside dinner where the sunset is the main event and conversation flows easy.
stay: Kouros Art Hotel (or similar)
day 6
Today, we trade trails for turquoise as we set sail on a private catamaran cruise. First stop? A secluded beach near Paros—perfect for a dip and a moment to soak in the quiet.
We’ll cruise past the stunning lagoons, where emerald waters meet golden sands, while the crew preps a traditional Greek lunch that hits even better with salty hair and sea views.
With the wind in your hair and the Cyclades at your feet, this is your slow-living, sunshine-soaked moment of bliss.
stay: Kouros Art Hotel (or similar)
Sails + Swims
thursday, october 1
day 7
Our last full day begins with a sunrise beach yoga session—saluting the sea, the sky, and maybe even a few new dreams stirred up this week.
From there, the day is yours. Wander the whitewashed streets of Naxos, climb up to the Venetian Castle, or relax on a beach like Agia Anna or Alyko. Want something cooler? A freddo espresso and sandy toes await.
Tonight, we gather one last time for a special farewell dinner—a joyful, heartfelt toast to the memories made and the women who made them unforgettable.
Stay: Kouros Art Hotel (or similar)
Soulful Sendoff
friday, october 2
All adventures pause eventually… but transformation doesn’t stop here.
After breakfast, we’ll arrange transfers to the Naxos airport or port, depending on your next chapter—heading home or joining our optional Santorini extension (more on that soon!).
No matter where you're off to, we hope you leave feeling a little braver, lighter, and more connected than when you arrived.
We’ll reunite online in a month for our post-trip Collective Compass circle, where we reflect, reconnect, and keep the momentum going—because sometimes, the real journey begins after the bags are unpacked.
Safe travels—see you soon.
Departure Day (but the journey continues)
day 8
saturday, october 3
optional extension
Sunsets + Santorini
Saturday-Monday, october 3-5
For those looking to linger a little longer...
After our time together wraps, you’ll have the option to extend your stay with two unhosted nights in Santorini—at a supplemental cost, with full details coming later this month.
You’ll stay at the centrally located Santorini Palace, giving you easy access to explore the island’s magic on your own or with new friends from the trip. One day includes a daytime boat ride to the caldera, with time to swim, soak in the views, and reflect on all you’ve experienced.
We’ll provide a Santorini Guide with our favorite local restaurants, experiences, and ideas to help you make the most of this dreamy finale—at your own pace.
Stay: Santorini Palace (or similar)
post-trip
We’ll gather again for three post-trip Collective Connection calls—designed to help you reflect, reconnect, and carry the magic forward long after you’re home.
One month after the journey, we’ll come together to share what’s shifted—what’s been stirred, what’s sticking, and what’s surprising.
At the six-month mark, we’ll revisit the goals and intentions you set before the trip and check in on how those seeds are growing.
One year later, we’ll gather one last time to celebrate the ripple effect—what’s changed, what’s unfolded, and what’s next.
Because the friendships you make here? They don’t fade. They deepen.
You’ll leave with more than memories.
You’ll leave with a Collective.

You’re excited to stay in boutique hotels, savor farm-fresh meals, and support inspiring local women, artisans, and guides.

You’re open to new experiences—like a pottery class, cacao tasting, or a moonlit walk by the sea.

Meet your trip host
Lindsay
Hey there! I’m Lindsay, and I’ll be your guide, host, hype woman, and logistics ninja on this adventure.
After years planning, guiding, and curating transformational trips around the world, I created Adventure Collective to bring together like-minded women through travel that’s intentional, immersive, and connection-driven.
This trip isn’t a package pulled from a catalog—it’s a curated collection of my favorite places, people, and experiences, and I can’t wait to share them with you.
A few fun things to know about me:
I take my coffee very seriously. (If you need espresso tips, I’ve got you.)
I have a dog named Leo who’s probably having FOMO while I’m on this trip.
I’ve traveled to 58 countries and believe the best stories start when you say “yes” to something unexpected.
More than anything, I believe in the power of community and courage—and that travel can be the spark that changes everything.
Let’s do this. Let’s make some ridiculous, heart-expanding memories together.

Got questions?

answers
-
If you’re a woman who’s ready to make herself a priority—maybe for the first time in a long time—you’re in the right place.
Most of our travelers are from the U.S. and in their 40s and 50s, though age is just a number here. What actually matters? That you show up with an open heart, a curious spirit, and a kind, uplifting energy.
We’re all about building a community where women support each other, not compete. So if you’re someone who cheers others on, leans into real connection, and believes there’s room for all of us to shine—you’ll fit right in.
Whether you’re flying solo or bringing a friend, you’ll be surrounded by thoughtful, adventurous women here for something meaningful: deeper conversations, slower mornings, and a shared sense of “I’ve been needing this.”
If that sounds like your kind of adventure… 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 optional pre-trip meetups.
Bringing a friend? Absolutely. While most women come solo, all are welcome—whether you’re adventuring with your sister, your college bestie, or someone you just met in yoga class. You do you.
-
In short: the adventure of a lifetime—minus the stress.
We handle the details so you can just show up and soak it all in. Here’s what’s covered:

You’re welcome to use any provider, but we strongly recommend that you’re covered. Peace of mind is a beautiful travel companion.
-
Let’s be honest—half the magic of an AC trip is who you meet. Most guests will share a room with another incredible woman who’s here for the same reason you are: meaningful connection, deep belly laughs, and a little soul-sparking adventure.
But if you’re more of a journal-in-bed, starfish-sleeper type, we’ve got you.
For $1,000 extra, you can claim your own private room for the Greece Connection. Just select the private room option in the booking form, and voilà—privacy secured.Thinking about extending your stay in Santorini?
That dreamy program is designed for unwinding solo, so private rooms are included by default. (Cue the sunrise views and long, slow breakfasts.)So whether you’re rooming with a new soul sister or flying solo, you’ll be in good company.
-
Greece Connection is more slow stroll than strenuous summit. If you’re up for relaxed days of exploring, a bit of walking through ancient ruins or coastal villages, and maybe a dip in the Aegean, you’ll be just fine.
There’s no hiking, no biking, no cliff diving (that we know of)—just enough movement to feel good and make room for another scoop of gelato. Most activities are leisurely and optional, with plenty of time to pause, journal, sip wine, or nap under a bougainvillea.
Need a little more detail? Just ask—we’re happy to help you decide if this trip is the right pace for you.
-
Yes, and we’re glad you asked.
The Santorini extension is a 2-night add-on for guests who want to soak in a little more magic before heading home. While it's unhosted, we take care of:
Transfers from Naxos to Santorini and Santorini to the airport
A private room at a beautiful 4-star hotel
A small group caldera cruise excursion
A curated Santorini Destination Guide with local tips, restaurants, and things to do
This is prime time to slow down, reflect, and take it all in—whether that means solo beach walks or grabbing a sunset dinner with new friends who are also staying on. You get to decide how you spend this beautiful finale.
More details (including price and how to add it) are coming soon. But yes—it’s as dreamy as it sounds.
-
Perfect. You’re exactly who this trip is for.
You don’t need a passport full of stamps to join us—just a curious spirit and a willingness to say yes to something new. Many of our travelers are stepping outside their comfort zones for the first time in years (or ever), and we’re here to make sure you feel supported every step of the way.
Here’s how we’ve got you covered:
A pre-trip connection call where you’ll meet the group, ask questions, and feel at ease before departure
A travel checklist with everything from passport tips to what to pack (and what to leave behind)
A private group email thread for sharing excitement, outfit questions, and airport snack recommendations
Founder-led guidance—you’ll be with Lindsay from start to finish, not handed off to a stranger at the airport
If you’re nervous, that’s okay. That just means it matters.
This experience is designed to be empowering, not overwhelming—and you won’t be doing it alone. -
