Dancing on tables. Murder mystery dinner parties. Luxurious booze cruises that quickly qualm any doubts about recent decisions made to spend one’s life’s savings (and then some) on an MBA. All of these things and more occurred last summer when your five fearless MTrek leaders met and fell in love whilst galavanting through northern Italy together. Our trip was so idyllic that we decided to recreate it, but this time with more feta and tzatziki. Welcome to the #besttrek, where you will meet your new best friends, witness some of the world’s most ‘grammable #views, and find out just how much Greek food and ouzo a group of MBAs can consume in 10 days (hint: the limit does not exist).
Join us as we get cultured in Athens, beach party our faces off in Mykonos, and complete a practice round honeymoon in Santorini together. Some say that the way you spend MTrek is the way you’ll spend all of MBA1, so trust us when we say that this is how you want to kick things off. OPA!
Do you enjoy learning European history, trying local cuisines, and staying at creepy mountain hotels? Picturesque European cities, wine tasting, and hikes through lush green forests? Karaoke, local beers, and late nights on the dance floor? If so, then this trip is for you!
From exploring the streets of Prague to hiking the mountains of Slovakia to promanading along the waters of Budapest, we promise adventures, misadventures and the best friendships and memories to carry you through your two years at Ross!
MTrek is coming! Are you ready to venture North, to the land of maple syrup, hockey, Tim
Hortons, poutine, the Mounties, Ryan Gosling and Reynolds, and most importantly… Justin Bieber? We are going to explore all that our friendly northern neighbor has to offer, including nature walks, glacier hikes, kayak rides, suspension bridges, and as many whales as we can find. Also included – nights under the stars, delicious dinners, and lots of Kokanee beers.
Prior adventuring experience not necessary, as this seasoned crew of Peruvian Alpacas has got your back. We met on MTrek last year, and could not be more excited to travel around with a new crew of Canadian Mounties? Moose? Kermode Bears? We’ll figure it out.
Think you’re ready to travel aboot Canada, eh? Well strap on your adventuring (read dancing) shoes, and get ready to Banff that a$$ up with some Canucks (and us). Drake – here we come!
TLDR: Do you love the finer things in life? Like wine, beaches, romance, and carbs? Then this trek is for you!
Get ready for the greatest Fall A pregame ever and join your fearless leaders as we galivant across The Boot in search of the best wine and food Italy has to offer. Our journey starts in Venice, where we will explore the historic city by foot and private gondola explore the historic city by foot and private gondola before it sinks into the ocean (oops). Our next stop is Florence, where we will hit all the major sights, see the naked David, and enjoy a foodie paradise including a private cooking class! Our next stop dials up the romance and you can Google Cinque Terre to see what we mean. Treat-yo-self beach day or shape-yo-self hiking, it’s up to you! We will continue to make our way through Italy into the Chianti Region. But first, we will enjoy a tour and tasting at an ~organic~ vineyard on the way. Our hotel also happens to be on a vineyard, where we can relax by the pool and try to convince them to just hand over the entire barrel of wine. On our final stop we will be pulling our best Lizzie McGuire (sing to me Paolo) and exploring EVERYTHING Rome has to offer. This Trek is what dreams and great Instas are made of.
Some Treks will say they have it all – beaches, cities, boats, amazing leaders, parties, clubs, animals, fine dining – but Here Pho a Good Time not a Dong Time is pho-real. Blending the perfect mix of adventure, cultural immersion, and treating ourselves to the finest dining and drinks that South East Asia has to offer, you’ll be ready to fight to the death that you were on the best MTrek. We kick off the adventure in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia where you’ll get to know your fellow trekkers and leaders as we fight off jet lag with ice breakers and stupid drinking games. We’ll spend the next two days enjoying the surrounding natural beauty(and elephants) by day and exploring the city at night – did someone say rooftop bar? Next, we jet over to Hanoi Vietnam and proceed to kick off the contest for who can create the best “pho” pun and eat the most bahn mi sandwiches. Next it’s on the Halong Bay, a UNESCO world heritage site where we can capture all the #content, because what’s the point of B-school if you can’t post about all of the sick travel, also the MTrek instagram contest is pho-king intense. We will spend the night cruising among the limestone islets and emerald waters, then head back to dryland for a beach day. Finally, we head back to Hanoi for more #culture and #content such as night markets, water puppets, and tour the Ho Chi Minh complex. During all of this you will be learning your fellow Trekkers deepest darkest secrets, and forming bonds that will have you calling Mom to say you’re skipping Thanksgiving to hang with your new, cooler, fam. MTrek is a once – well twice, but who’s counting – in a lifetime experience, make sure you spend it with raddest Trek leaders and MBA1s around and remember you’re at Ross for a good time, not a long time.
Estimated trek cost includes all activities mentioned on the itinerary, and nearly all meals and bar tabs.

We’ll finish our amazing European holiday with nothing but sunshine and rose wine on the French Riviera.

We’ll depart Europe having accomplished everything we set out to do: conquered mountains, explored majestic scenery, gotten a tan, eaten incredible food, drank maybe a little too much, and made great friends along the way.

Stunning scenery. Unreal nightlife. Ha Long Bay cruises, historic city walking tours, Vespa food experiences, pho and Sơn Tinh for days, cycling excursions, Vietnamese massages, beautiful weather and beaches, and did we mention pho? More nightlife. All with a group of your soon-to-be great friends. Your trip leaders met on their very own MTrek last summer and are setting out to relive their glory days. There is one trip – and one trip only – that is as well-rounded as we all made ourselves out to be during internship recruiting. This MTrek checks off every box and then some. That’s right, let’s pho-king go to Vietnam!
