“Because in the end, you won't remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain.”

– Jack Kerouac

Winter NYC Events - 2020

A few years back, I was daydreaming about being anywhere but at the desk I was currently occupying for 50+ hours a week. It became apparent that a change was in order because, quite frankly, my daily routine left a lot to be desired. In short, I wanted adventure but had no idea where to start. Sound familiar? 

You don't need to see the results of a survey to acknowledge that the introduction of social media makes us a tiny bit jealous of the lives that some people are #blessed with. Who wouldn't want to travel the world on a seemingly endless budget for the rest of their lives? Unfortunately, the chances of getting zapped by lightning are better than that ever happening, but there is still hope! While you're hoping – here is a list of events and weekend trips that I will be leading in partnership with local NYC businesses.

This list dynamic – it will update when new events and trips get added. Don't see something you like? Feel free to send me your suggestions!
