Trek it Easy: Ross Mtrek Island Escape

In Jamaica, time moves slower. Long, sunny days encourage everyone on the island to sink into a more relaxed rhythm and enjoy the simple pleasures: the light being cast through the trees, the sound of the tide on the shore, the taste of a carefully-prepared meal. On this six-day trip to Negril, you’ll get to experience the joy of island time while staying at a wonderful, seaside, all-inclusive resort. Of course, there’s more planned on this adventure than just free time! Tours to phenomenal locations like Benta Falls and Negril Beach will allow you to see Jamaica’s beauty and connect with the island’s unique culture. Book now to reserve your spot on this Jamaican journey!

Bae-lize

Get your booty down to Belize because this trek is about to be unforgettable! Dreaming of sunshine, crystal clear waters, endless rum, and taking on a bit of (seriously, just a little) adventure? See you in San Pedro! Your leaders have worked HARD (like, maybe should’ve applied this effort to Finance) to bring you the best itinerary, giving you the ultimate vacation, a Belizean and Ross culture mashup. We’re talking Mayan ruins and cave kayaking one day, secret beach clubs and sailing trips the next (i.e. most of the days). Belize has the sights and we have the vibes 😉

Zero jet lag, the best tan at the Bus, and your new B-School BFFs? Look no further. We’re coming in hot for a good (lit) time AND a long time (did we mention no jet lag, an extra night and affordable airfare?). Still on the fence? Beach, Pelize…

The Floor is BakLAVA

Trek Description

I can think of no better way to celebrate the end of MBA orientation than by flying 5000 miles away from cheesy ice-breakers and the Sanger Leadership Center. Come join us in Turkey for a trek full of adventure, partying, and baklava!

In Istanbul, we’ll take in the city’s amazing cuisine, architecture, and nightlife; this all comes with the territory when you’re the 15th largest city in the world, and the former capital of the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman Empires. Get ready for Doner Kebap, Borek, and Istan-redbulls&vodka.

We’ll cruise the Bosphorous and escape the hustle and bustle of the city by visiting nearby islands—think hiking, swimming…beach party?! After all this activity, we’ll head to Cappadocia, a beautiful and enchanting region unlike any other on Earth. We’ll see the sunrise from a HOT AIR BALLOON, walk amongst incredible rock formations, and embark on a sunset quad ride.

Join your tight-knit, fun-loving trek leaders on an unforgettable journey to Turkey!

Don’t de-Nile Yourself of a Good Time

In addition to the ruins featured in many a NatGeo documentary IRL, we’ve got spa day and club night. Don’t be in de-Nile, you’re in business school and can get everything you want.

Alpacalypse Now: So Machu Fun

Calling all future high Inca earners!

Picchu yourself in Peru.

You came to B-School for adventure and to make your friends back home (and wherever you’ve been working) jealous. It’s time to start on your Insta highlights. Let us help.

Pisco sours overlooking the ocean. Rainbow mountains glistening in the sun. Llamas prancing through the Andes.

This trek offers you a taste of it all.

We’ll start in Lima before hopping to Cusco. After a day to acclimate, it’s off to explore Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley and other highlights. Then, we’ll pass back through Lima as we offer sage wisdom. How to keep your feet from sticking to the Skeeps floor. How you will be able to handle anything the Rick’s bartender slings your way after practicing at altitude. How many times it is socially acceptable to consume ceviche in a week.

We’re an eclectic mix of MBAs, Dual Degrees and gainfully employed Partners. We’ll even have a future doctor traveling with us so you’re absolutely in good hands.* We can’t wait to take the best picture with the Ross flag and we want you there.

*Moderate hands. Legal disclaimer, etc.
