Do I get to pick my roommate?

Yes! if you’re signing up with a friend just let me know and you will be put together. If you end up connecting with one of the girls before the trip and decide to room together we can put you together too. Otherwise I place girls together based on a small roommate survey I send out before the trip.

What is the cancellation policy?

The minimum number of girls for this trip is 8. Once we reach 8, the 25% deposit is no longer refundable as I book our hotels, activities, etc. at that point. If we don’t reach the minimum number of people, you will receive a full refund.
If you cancel your trip more than 60 days prior to the trip your 25% deposit is non-refundable but can be used for future Adventuring for Life trips minus a $100 cancellation fee. Anything over the 25% will be refunded automatically.

The trip credit must be used within 12 months of cancellation.

The trip is 100% non-refundable 60 days prior to the trip.

The only way to get any money back within 60 days of a trip is if you are able to find a replacement. Rachel can definitely help try to fill the spot but there are zero guarantees we’re able to find a replacement. This is why we recommend travel insurance – incase something happens causing you to be unable to join us!
Rachel highly recommends checking out Travel Insurance quotes as they can be pretty reasonable and assist in these situations.

What currency is the trip in?

All trips are priced using USD, so you may need to convert this to your local currency.

How do I get to know the other girls going on the trip?

We will create a group chat prior to the trip commencing – so keep an eye out on your Instagram request folder in case it ends up in there! This is also why we ask for your handle when you’re booking, and it’s super important to triple check for any spelling mistakes.

This allows everyone to chat before hand, get to know each other, and make plans for the free time you will have.

While it’s not required to join, it is highly encouraged and we do share fun and important information on the group chat prior to the trip.
