Why should you join my trek?
What? An MTrek to Slovenia of all places? Well.. Go Blue, Go ANYWHERE! (In case you haven’t heard it a 1000 times already). Here’s 3 reasons why YOU MUST choose Slovenia for your MTrek:
1. Slovenia packs an incredible amount of diverse and beautiful locations while being just as big as New Jersey! From the magnificent Lake Bled – said to be one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, to river rafting in crystal clear emerald water on the Soca river, from wine tasting in Tuscany-like wine country (which actually borders Italy so its just as beautiful, if not more) to having a fun day out in the natural thermal spring water parks – Slovenia has it all! I’ll let the itinerary do the rest of the talking, but do check our locations out and I promise you won’t be disappointed!
2. Perfect balance of outdoor fun and partying – given our incredible MTrek experiences from last year, we’ve all arrived at what we think is a great balance between having some good ‘ol outdoor fun and letting your hair down and partying the night away. So for those who want the perfect balance of Mtrekking and partying – Slovenia is YOUR trek!
3. THE BEST TREK LEADERS – For many of us, our MTrek leaders were our first real MBA2 connections, and they’ve gone on to become our closest friends and mentors throughout the rollercoaster that is an MBA. Your MTrek leaders for Slovenia hail from diverse professional backgrounds and have navigated very different MBA journeys. We’ve got folks who have deep exposure across tech, consulting, healthcare and public policy; and while we promise your trek will be so fun that you’ll almosty forget about your recruiting stuff for a bit, we’ll always be there to give our (un) solicited advice!
And seriously, how often will you get to go to Slovenia with a bunch of 25 of your future best friends?!

Why should you join my trek?
Slovenia is breathtakingly beautiful and an offbeat destination in Europe. The trek has a combination of activities and experiences that, at once, nurture friendships and community, while also offering space for self-driven activities. It offers a range of fun group activities and experiences, from hikes to rafting, urban tours, and cultural immersion. In short, there is something for everyone. Also, you get to a chance to explore this stunning country before it becomes a mainstream tourist destination.
