Archives: MTrek Trips

Deciding if you prefer partying, eating great food, visiting historical spots or relaxing? Don’t know which cool places in Europe you would like to visit? Just like you, we don’t like making such decisions, so we gathered all of that in one trip to three of the best spots in Europe. In Portugal, we will have the chance to try lots of delicious food and will enjoy the best of Lisbon’s nightlife. In Spain, we will be in the best city to party in Europe, so we will rage on! We know that a good trip is not only made of partying and eating delicious food, so we will fly to Mallorca to relax a little bit by the Mediterranean… but we can party while we relax as well. So we will have a booze cruise before we fly back to Ann Arbor. By the end of the trip you will know that sleep is totally a waste of time.

Looking for the ideal blend of beautiful beaches, physical activity, raging in bars/clubs, and a little bit of culture? This is the MTrek for you! We’ll start in Dubrovnik, jewel of the Dalmatian Coast, and travel to Split, Zagreb and Bled. Highlights include a Boat Day trip to Blue Cave, hiking in Plitvice Lakes National Park, canyoning through Bled—and a healthy dose of lazy beach days, bar hopping and raging through the clubs. There’s no better way to see Croatia and Slovenia!

Nicaragua is so hot right now! This trip is part of a long lineage of Central America trips ranging all the way back to 2015. Here at Rick’s-aragua Dos , we’ll do our namesake bar, and our trip heritage, proud and make sure your adventurous spirit (see: liver) are ready for the next 2 years. This trip is the perfect mix of neon-colored good times, outdoor adventure (on volcanoes and waterfalls) and beach recuperation. You will be in great drinking shape by the end. Sand boarding, boat adventures, hiking in rainforests, rum tasting, surfing on one of the best surf spots in the world – if any of these sound fun, look no further. If they don’t sound fun, just come chill hard. Either way, you’ve come to the right trek…

In the Summer of 2016, five wide-eyed MBA-1s embarked on a 10-day Eastern European Mtrek. It was through the shared experiences of sleeping through a Viennese symphony, raving in the mold-infested basement of a Budapest ruin bar, and ingesting enough beer and schnitzel to put an elephant into cardiac arrest that Adi, Ben, Drew, Pauline, and Sabrina forged bonds (we mean relationships, not counterfeiting) and memories to last a lifetime.

Now, it’s our chance to pay it forward. Against a backdrop that includes the scintillating sights, sounds, and tastes of Amsterdam, Berlin, and Prague, we five have organized “…the greatest, most amazing, most tremendous…” Mtrek that Ross will ever know.

If you choose to join us, you too will become the stuff of legends.

Welcome to YoseMiTrek, the Mtrek that’s disrupting the entire trek landscape. We are four dedicated and passionate visionaries looking to build the right team to help us scale. We promise not to beta test our trekkers – we’re way past “minimum viable product” stage. Founded and headquartered in beautiful San Francisco, CA, we are planning to aggressively expand into the Nappa Valley submarket where we are well-positioned to maximize our wine consumer experience. We are also keen to harness our proprietary machine learning capabilities and big data analytics to kickstart operations on the legendary Yosemite platform. We fully expect to generate historic returns for YoseMitrek investors by ultimately floating shares on the Lake Tahoe exchange as part of an integrated exit strategy. This is one opportunity you do NOT want to miss, get in while you can!

Calling all foodies!!! Ever wanted to eat your way through Italy? Take a cooking class with an Italian chef? Kick back and relax on the coast of Italy? If the answer is yes, then join us for the trip of a lifetime! We will travel through Italy from Florence to the Amalfi Coast, eating and drinking our weight in pasta, pizza, wine, and gelato. There is no better way to start your MBA adventure! Your four fantastic leaders promise to make this trip unforgettable! And as a bonus you will get to see all of us at the Ross fitness center this fall as we try to burn off all the calories we ate during the trip.

It’s your chance to Party with the Greek and Spanish Gods!! It will be a sun filled trip of Greek island hoping, boating, booze cruising and partying, all ending with a final few cultural days in historic Barcelona. There will be plenty of chances to wear your best bikinis and swim in the Aegan. Get ready for the trip of a life time!

You read it right, it’s going down in Cape Town! Buckle up, this trip is not for the fainthearted. Consider this your formal invitation to earning your ROSSsafarian stripes. There is no better way to kick off your MBA experience than journeying with the dopest Trek Leaders through the Western Cape of Africa.

As if two years in the Big 10 isn’t enough, you’ll experience an overnight Safari with Africa’s Big 5. Don’t worry we’re keeping it Bad & Bougie too. From the beach house to the cooking class, we will make sure there is enough South African wine to go around. Need we say more?

(Trek cost includes lodging; overnight safari; Robbin Island tour; Table Mountain cable car ride; winery tour and tasting in Stellanbosch; cooking class; whale watching in Hermanus; Belmond Tea Time; traditional South African Braai and most meals)

Mirë se vini në Shqipëri — welcome to Albania!  Probably the most isolated country in Europe due to its insular communist government that fell in 1992, Albania offers untouched natural beauty — from its rocky undeveloped beaches to its rugged mountainous terrain — and a culture unlike anywhere in the world.

Your leaders come from around the world and a variety of backgrounds and are excited to show you Albania — from its natural beauty to its lively urban culture to its impressive history.  We are also excited initiate you into the most important organization you will ever be a part of — the University of Michigan family.  We will rage. We will explore. And we will have a bonding experience that will send you back to Ann Arbor with 15 brand new friends.

Food, beaches, dancing, and speedboats, what more could you ask for? We’re headed to Brazil! This trek will be a great mix of cultural immersion (markets, food, dancing),  beach time, and partying like there’s no tomorrow. We are traveling along the coast after all! First we’ll start in Rio and find the best dance party. One of us has the low down on Brazil (read our profiles to find out who!). Then we’ll move to the northern coast, where we’ll visit lagoons and sand dunes, while raging like there’s no tomorrow.  Bring your swimsuits and let’s make this the BEST TRIP EVER!
