Some places stay with you long after you’ve left.

The call of the loons across the lake. Mornings on the water. Trails through the pines. Evenings around the campfire, sharing stories and laughter with women who were strangers just days before.

Our Killarney canoe and camping adventure is about more than getting outdoors. It’s about slowing down, reconnecting with nature, making new friends, and creating memories that stay with you long after you return home.

But don’t just take our word for it… Here’s a little glimpse into our Killarney journey, through the moments we shared and the words of the women who joined us.

✨ Dreaming of your own Killarney adventure?

Our 2027 journeys open for registration in December!

Follow along for a little more wilderness inspiration, behind-the-scenes moments, and details of our upcoming adventures for women who want to unplug, explore, and connect — with nature and each other.

Maybe next time, there’ll be a place for you around the campfire. 🔥

A few more shots from our September Killarney trip! Yes, we do yoga on bedrock using Therm-a-Rests 😂🧘‍♀️

Our Killarney trip really is as awesome as it looks, but it’s also physically challenging in ways that are sometimes hard to explain. There was a lot of laughing along the way, especially when things got tough. A few memorable quotes: “When does the nurture part happen?” and “I wouldn’t call it relaxing.” And of course, “We are the food barrels.” (You kind of had to be there for that one 😂)

That’s part of what makes these trips so special. You do hard things together, support each other through them, and somehow end up laughing about it all. It’s hard to explain, but you come away feeling a little stronger and more connected. ❤️

Our hearts are still so full from our September Killarney trip. Incredible weather, endless laughs, beautiful scenery, and the most amazing group of women to share it all with.

We really couldn’t have asked for a better trip. Already missing this wonderful group and feeling so grateful for the connections, the adventures, and all the memories along the way. ❤️

Just a little glimpse of the magic. More photos to come!

What an amazing time we had together in Iceland!

We hiked through breathtaking landscapes, soaked in world-class Nordic spas, shared incredible meals, persevered through all kinds of weather, and experienced so much of the beauty that Iceland has to offer.

Thank you for joining us on this adventure. We absolutely loved sharing our country with you, creating memories together, and experiencing the magic of Iceland as a group. ❤️

Until the next adventure!

There are few things more Icelandic than a lopapeysa (Icelandic wool sweater)... and we are completely obsessed!

In Iceland, it's almost a rite of passage. Nearly every child grows up with a hand-knit wool sweater made by their mom, grandma, or aunt (and these days, maybe even a few dads and grandpas are knitting too 😉).

Almost every Icelandic adult owns at least one. Vala has many—most lovingly knitted by her mom, one by her late grandma, and another by a friend's mom. Kate even has one that Vala's mom recently made just for her. ❤️

These sweaters aren't just beautiful—they're incredibly practical. Made from Iceland's unique dual-layer lopi wool, they repel moisture, block the wind, and trap body heat, keeping you warm even in Iceland's ever-changing weather.

If you don't have an Icelandic knitter in your family, our favourite place to find one is Litla Lopasjoppan (The Little Wool Shop) in Vala's hometown of Hella, just an hour from Reykjavík on the South Coast. Every sweater is hand-knit by local women. The shop's owner, Berglind Kristinsdóttir, is as warm and welcoming as the sweaters themselves—and you'll often find her sitting behind the counter with knitting needles in hand. 🧶

It's one of those special places where you don't just buy a sweater—you take home a piece of Icelandic tradition.

Have you ever owned an Icelandic wool sweater? Or is it on your Iceland wish list?

After a full day hiking in Þakgil, we gathered beneath the cliffs to share a meal together in a volcanic cave. Iceland never stops reminding us how extraordinary this landscape really is. 🇮🇸

Waterfalls and gale-force winds. Iceland in all its glory.

We've wandered behind waterfalls, hiked through a remote canyon, and made our way into Iceland's breathtaking Highlands—where the famous Icelandic winds reminded us who's really in charge.

Every day brings new adventures, incredible landscapes, and plenty of laughter. We can't wait to share what's next.

A moment of awe.

Some of the best moments in nature are the quiet ones. Slowing down. Sitting by the fire. Listening to the waves. Doing absolutely nothing for a while.
