    Ashley, Peru 2025

  • "This trip was exactly what I was looking for. The days were full but not packed. Just the right amount of activity and it was great to meet everyone. The group is a great way to travel safely, trips are easy to make friends, and not having to do all the planning was a major bonus."

    Sara, Yellowstone 2025

  • "DO NOT HESITATE! Jump in with both feet and these lovely ladies will embrace you! The friendships you will make while on a Women in the Wild adventure will be lifelong and the memories, laughter and fun you will have will last a lifetime! It will be the best thing you'll ever do!"

    Miranda, Costa Rica 2025

    Stacie, Colorado 2025

  • "From making new friends to pushing myself to limits I didn't know were possible and being motivated by the women around me…reaching the summit of Kilimanjaro, crying with overwhelming emotion, seeing lions and elephants and all the other animals up close in pure awe of the moment. I'll be reliving this one for years to come."

    Kristin, Kilimanjaro 2025

  • "It was just incredible. I love that this group of women was able to come together for all sorts of different reasons and accomplish something difficult and absolutely enjoy it. The guides were excellent and informative, the scenery stunning. The trek was well-paced allowing for a variety of fitness levels. The food was outstanding, and the room service coffee wake up call was an over-the-top perk."

    Cindy, Peru 2025

    Katelyn, Patagonia 2025

    Summer, Kilimanjaro 2025

    Melissa, Bali 2025

trish

Founder + Trip Host

As a forestry professional and lover of all things outdoors, Trish spends a lot of time outside. Whether hiking, climbing or snowboarding, if she has the time, she will be out there getting after it. Trish’s favourite thing about hosting Women in the Wild trips is “bringing together groups of women who don’t know each other, and getting to watch them click and connect over the course of the trip. The friendships made on these trips are the reason I started this community, and every time I’m on a trip and get to see new friendships develop it fills my heart. Of course climbing mountains is amazing, but the friendships and personal growth is so much better.”

Trip Host

Her love of nature shines through everything she does, and she’s always up to spending multiple days in the mountains. Liz’s favourite thing about hosting Women in the Wild trips is “getting to explore new places alongside fun, bold, adventurous women! These trips aren’t always easy. Sometimes they’re uncomfortable, sometimes they’re intimidating, and sometimes they push us way outside our comfort zones. But there’s something pretty magical about doing hard things together, and having a group of women beside you who will cheer you on, laugh with you, and keep you moving forward. That’s the kind of adventure that stays with you long after you’re home.”
