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
april 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, may 9, 2026
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, may 10, 2026
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, may 11, 2026
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, may 12, 2026
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, may 13, 2026
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
Sails + Swims
thursday, may 14, 2026
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)
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, may 15, 2026
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)

post-trip
Milestones + Momentum
june + december 2026 | may 2027
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.

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.
-
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 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.
-
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!
