Chile-in’ out, Maxin’, Relaxin’ All Cool
(To the tune of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Theme Song)
Intro
Now, this is an Mtrek all about how
5 MBA 2’s show you how to get down.
We’d like to take a minute – Just keep reading on
We’ll tell you how much fun you’ll have (if you can rap to this song).
Verse 1
In west South America, country of Chile
Hot springs and Wineries is where we’ll spend most of our days
Chile-in’ out maxin’ and relaxin’ all cool
While taking shots, drinking wine outside the b-school
When 5 MBAs who were up to no good
Decided to make trouble outside our neighborhood
We had one conversation and took on a dare
We’re heading to a country with cool crisp air.
We made all the plans to make your choice clear, there’ll be a lot of fun so have no fear
If anything else, The “Ross Difference” is here.
All that’s left is for you to join in, come on down – see you there!
The rest of out the song will be completed with the Trekkers during the trip!
Volcanoes, Chupitos, Giant Turtles! Join us as we traverse the rich cultural history of Ecuador, from Quito to swimming with sea lions and blue footed boobies in the Galapagos! Equal parts partying in Quito, relaxing in Papallacta’s hot springs and adventuring through the Amazon, this trek is a good mix of everything Ross. Add to that some sassy leaders with a few surprises up their sleeves, you have yourself an unforgettable time in one of the most beautiful regions in the world. (Did we mention we’d be chillin’ with an iguana or two? Or an uninhabited island? Yes, we’re THAT cool.)
Do you enjoy rich history, interesting local cuisines and lazy afternoons in the sauna? Picturesque bike rides, small beachside villages, and hikes through lush green forests? Boat rides, breweries, and late nights on the dance floor? This trip has it all!
While traveling through Latvia and Estonia with a final stop in Helsinki, we promise adventures, misadventures and the best friendships and memories to carry you through your two years at Ross.
Alpaca your bags…we’re going to Peru! Business school boils down to three things – the b-school bod, booze and best buddies (and getting a job, but that doesn’t start with a “B”). We’re going to make sure you’re equipped to handle them all after 10 days with us. Fend off the b-school bod (like the freshman 15, only worse ‘cause we’re old now) with hiking, biking, swimming and a few dance floor dance-offs. Discover a new favorite drink (before all you can afford is the free tab at Skeeps) with Pisco tastings and plenty of cerveza. And leave with 16 new besties who you’ll inevitably be stuck with for life. After surviving Machu Picchu with this motley crew, you can definitely survive Stats*.
Come along with us as we eat, drink and explore our way through Peru. Alpaca your bags…Vamanos!
*Disclaimer: Joining this MTrek does not guarantee a P in Stats, but it does guarantee a few shoulders to cry on when you get that first LP.
Get ready to check a trip of a lifetime off your bucket list. Adventure in the Galapagos Islands and explore Ecuador with a trip filled with everything from partying with the blue footed boobies to chilling in some hot springs. Don’t forget your hiking shoes and swimsuits!
Just like the Migos have changed the “Culture”, this Mtrek to Tanzania & Zanzibar will change the “Culture” as well. Are you ready to explore Ngoro Ngoro Crater, considered a “microcosm of natural habitats” in Africa? Are you ready to explore the greatness of Mt. Kilimanjaro? What better way to kick off your Ross journey than with the dopest Mtrek leaders at Ross.
After this trip, you’ be able to tell your classmates about the bad and boujee beaches you visited, the “home of the Elephants” at Tarangire Park, and the spice farms, where you can smell and taste spices such as cinnamon and ginger. You won’t want to leave Tanzania after this Mtrek. Last but not least, we will indulge in some of the finest wine and alcohol that Tanzania has to offer. If you are looking for relaxation or the ultimate turn-up, we got you covered.
We’re headed to one of the smallest countries in Europe, but it’s filled with stunning coastlines and a ton of UNESCO World Heritage sites for all you cultured folks. This trip has everything your heart desires- from cooking classes + wine tastings, beaches and yacht parties, and also climbing an active volcano. Sounds too good to be true? It’s not, we swear. We’ll start off in Malta where we’ll do some off-roading in jeep tours, explore the beautiful beaches, and visit plenty of islands so you can get some pics for the ‘gram. Want to recreate some scenes from Gladiator, Troy, Game of Thrones, or even Pirates of the Caribbean? Well you’re in luck, because all of those movies have been filmed in picturesque Malta. We’ll then move to Sicily- land of great wine, food, and…more wine. We’ll start off in Palermo where we’ll learn about the city’s history and visit several historical sites. We’ll then have a cooking class and learn how to make a delicious Italian meal. After exploring nature and relaxing at the beach, we’ll end with hiking an active volcano (don’t worry- lots of wine will await you once we finish) and having a choose-your-own-adventure activity day. This trip is a perfect blend of cultural immersion, turning up, outdoor activities, and some zen to balance our raging…all while staying in 4 star hotels. We’ve literally thought of everything. This will honestly be the best 10 days of your life…and you’ll meet your b-school BFFs! What more could you ask for?
There is “NOR-way” you could find a better way to celebrate the beginning of the two best years of your life than by venturing to Scandinavia to bike the kingdom of fairytale, watch the dark waves of the Baltic sea crash with the vivid blue ones of the Northern sea , and take a look at the classicist palaces of 18th century. All of your trek leaders couldn’t have imagined a better way to kick off their Ross MBA lives than MTrek, and want to pass this love and passion along to you. We will guarantee a trek through Scandinavia that will be one of the best trips of your life.
Join us for a journey to the Emerald Isle where we’ll enjoy some scenic landscapes, remarkable historical sites, and of course a few good pubs along the way. It will be a week of good beer, bad jokes, and even worse attempts at Irish dance. We also hear the Pope will be there at the same time, so we’ll see what kind of Irish blessings might be in store!
In case you were wondering what you’re in for in Vietnam, here are our goals for the week:
-Spend at least 100,000,000 Dong. Yup, that’s 33,333 local vietnamese beers baby. We’re cultured like that.
-See cool sh*t. Eat weird things.
-Become besties. Let’s be real – this group is going to be your first group of friends at Ross, and anyone who’s adventurous enough to come on this MTrek is going to be pretty awesome ‘pho-sho’.
