Archives: MTrek Trips

Brazil’s got it all – beaches, awesome cities, amazing history and phenomenal food. We’re planning to explore all of it, and can’t wait for you to join us! From soccer games in Rio, to waterfall hikes in Paraty, to checking out old pirate haunts in Ilha Grande, to the best nightlife in the planet, there’s a little for everyone on this trip – and plenty of time for your MTrek crew to become your new Ross family along the way. The four of us became BFFs on our MTrek, and can’t wait to replicate the experience for you. We’re amped to give you an awesome experience, from outdoor activities to nights out to cool history tours and everything in between. See you in Copacabana!

Congratulations, you’ve been admitted to ROSS, now it’s time to celebrate! This is your chance to party with the Gods – the Returning Champions from last year’s craziest MTREK and most fun SQUAD. This trip will be a sun filled vacation of beach hopping, boating, bikinis, booze cruising and partying, all ending with an EPIC surprise in Valencia (which will be revealed later). Get ready for the trip of a lifetime, to make forever-lasting friends and to become a GOD.

Disclaimer: Abandon hope, this is the beginning of the end. This is not a trek for the faint of heart or liver. This is an excursion of the tried and tested Party Gods – a titanly clash of red wine and pina coladas. Consider yourself warned, all culture you absorb will be fermented, blurry, and a hella good time.

You’ve made some important decisions recently. Where do I go to business school? What should I recruit for? Do I liquidate my savings to buy a Canada Goose jacket for the Michigan winters? We’re excited to present you with the easiest one of them all: Where should I go on MTrek? The answer is unequivocally Italy. Your seven fearless trek leaders all met a year ago on their trip to the French Riviera, where they became BFFs after day-long wine adventures, cliff jumping, and baguettes. Since, they have been working tirelessly to prepare an itinerary to Italy this year filled with wine, beaches, culture, wine, and some fantastic Italian food. So if clubbing in Milan, booze cruising on Lake Como, working on your tan-line on the beaches of Portofino, and drinking all of the wine in Chianti sounds like the greatest pregame to business school ever, we can’t wait to see you in August.

Does spending 10 days rafting through class III rapids, climbing a mountain, befriending monkeys, and soaking up the sun before Ann Arbor winter hits sound super awesome to you? Yeah, us too obvi. Together, your fearless leaders will guide you through four cities in Bali and make sure you have the time of your lives while building incredible friendships along the way, and becoming as close with each other as these monkey are in the photo. Somehow, this group of BUS Managers and pitcher-crushing MBA students feel confident that they can take care of you halfway across the world, so join us for an unforgettable adventure to BALI!!!

Are you a Type A business school student with trouble giving up control? Let’s face it, we all are. But put your faith in our questionable hands and buckle in for the ride of your life. We’ll leave as acquaintances and return (at least those of us who make it back) with a bond forged over shots of dubious alcohols distilled in mysterious ways. Culture, food, parties, breathtaking views, bustling cities, beautiful people, responsible decisions…this trip will have at least six of those things.

Beyond the No-No Zone promises to be a life experience you won’t ever forget (except for a few many hazy nights).

DISCLAIMER: While we will see at least one wonder of the world on our journey, there will also be a fair amount of partying as we introduce you to Adult Summer Camp business school life. If you secretly want to say “Hangovers” when McKinsey asks you your biggest weakness, you may find this trip challenging.

Are you and your significant other ready for our ten-day pre-Ross training session? We will cover everything you need to know before the two best years of your life begin: we will get you ready for The Bus with practice drinking on the beach, and get you ready for operations class through some hands-on analysis of the Bacardi factory. You should be ready for some or all of the following: competitive rounds of the newlywed game (marriage not required), learning killer dance moves from Paula, kayaking in bio-luminescent waters, zip-lining through the rain forest, and the unexpected.

Si Claro, Baby.

Join 15 of the coolest (literally, cool as Ice-land) Rossers around as we explore and party our way through Iceland and Ireland. We promise there will be adventures, misadventures, boats, the most scenic views, and Jameson. Get ready, the fun on this trip won’t stop until the sun goes down (FYI – the sun doesn’t go down in Iceland during August)!

Looking to have a great experience before getting started with the MBA? We invite you and your partner to discover along with us the most wonderful landscapes in the United States!

Beginning with the breathtaking Rocky Mountains, where we will enjoy exciting outdoor activities and entertaining trips to local breweries and wineries! Then we will fly to the unique and vast Grand Canyon, we will visit amazing places like the South Rim, Antelope Canyon and the Colorado River, where we will spend a day rafting in its impetuous waters!

And for the grand finale? Viva Las Vegas, Baby! Who knows what will happen there… but whatever happens, will stay there! We just can guarantee that it will be a lot of fun!

Do you enjoy rich history, mouthwatering cuisine, and perfect summer weather? Hikes with picturesque views and rafting through breathtaking canyons? Walking along ancient walled cities, diving off of cliffs, exploring underground war tunnels, and tasting local wines? There’s more but we’ll stop right there, because we know what you’re thinking. This is the best vacation I’ve ever heard of! How can it get any better?! WE. KNOW. In fact, we’re thinking the exact same thing, which means we’re probably soulmates and you should come to the Balkans with us.

We’ll travel to four once-in-a-lifetime countries virtually untouched by tourism, where East and West converge. Experience the vibrant culture and nightlife of Serbia, intriguing history and innovative cuisine in Bosnia & Herzegovina, beautiful nature and charming mountain villages of Montenegro, and the beaches and culinary delights of Croatia.

The Balkans are full of hidden gems, and we’ve planned them all into this trip! Five awesome MBAs and their equally awesome partners dreamed this MTrek up to prove that you can literally have it all in one vacation. We promise you amazing group activities, lots of free time to explore, and the best friendships and memories to carry you through the next two years!

By the great beard of Zeus, we’re going to Greece! Our trek will encompass the Greek mainland and neighboring Greek islands, where we will participate in ecological, historical, cultural activities, in addition to getting some relaxing beach days…what a combo, the Snickers of Mtreks! This trek will be a balance between some very active hiking days and some leisurely days on the beach and enjoying the nightlife. Specific regions we will explore include: Thessaloniki, Mount Olympus and Meteora, Athens, and Naxos.
