You didn’t hear it from us but apparently this is going to be the sickest MTrek in the history of MTrek.. Get ready for 7 days and 6 nights of healthy chaos. That’s right, you get 7 days for the price of 6! Did anyone say sunk cost?! ~High NPV + 0 regrets = sunk cost (yes, we all passed finance)~
We have an elite group of MBA2s who have been deemed the most fun MBA2s at Ross (once again, you didn’t hear it from us). Michael will begin speaking Spanish as soon as he is drunk (aka 10 mins into the night), Fran will be at the clubs until they close and will still be the first one drinking the next day, Drew is known as a golden retriever so you can expect only good vibes, and Jamie will be singing ABBA and trying to find the best karaoke spots in Croatia.
We are an extremely fun (if that wasn’t clear enough) but also inclusive and welcoming group who want you to have the best MTrek experience. We can’t wait to welcome you to the Ross community and have the most amazing week together!!!

If our trek description wasn’t convincing enough, watch this video 😉

Not to be alamarist, but technically speaking, your entire life has been leading up to this decision about which Mtrek to go on. Fortunately, while all Mtreks were created equal, some (this one) were created more equal than others.

If you’re a fan of wine, beaches or like Taylor, can’t stop thinking about Cristiano Ronaldo’s six-pack, this is the trip for you! We’ll kick off the trip in the Portugese capital of Lisbon, where we’ve got a boat party, bar crawl, and some clubbing lined up for the evenings. During the daytimes we’ll explore the city center, hit the beach, and check out some big-ass castles in Sintra.

From there we’ll go to Porto in northern Portugal, a beautiful coastal city known for its port wines. In Porto, we’ll take a boat cruise of the nearby enchanted Douro Valley, a bucket list item for all wine lovers, or anyone who, like Zach and Stephen, love saying “I can really taste the volatile and earthy character of the 2018 harvest”. During our last day in Porto we’ll explore the city center and let Adam re-live his (junior) varsity soccer glory days through a tour of FC Porto’s stadium.

So…if you want to party with a group of super fun active degenerate MBA 2’s who (hypothetically) bribed their way into leading an Mtrek, join us on this once in a lifetime trip. If not, maybe see if Kellogg is still taking applications.
