It’s officially the start of Embark’s busy season—and we’re already off and moving. 🌍

We just wrapped up a trek in Madeira, Portugal. 🇵🇹

Right now, we have two groups on Kilimanjaro, a group crossing a series of high passes in Peru’s Ausangate region, and another group getting ready for our first-ever trek in India.

Different countries. Different mountains. One shared love of adventure.

But they all have one thing in common: people choosing to push themselves.

Not because it’s easy. Not because it’s comfortable. But because there’s something deeply joyful about stepping outside your normal life, testing what your body can do, and realizing you’re capable of more than you thought.

Adventure has a way of reminding us that we’re alive—and sometimes the best parts of life are waiting just outside our comfort zone.

Every year, Embark takes about 10–20 kids (with their parents) on private hiking adventures around the world.

And honestly? Some of them are tougher than the adults. 😄

This summer, we’re taking a family on a big adventure after more than three years of conversations, planning, questions, and “is this the right time?” moments. That’s often how these trips come together—slowly, thoughtfully, and with a lot of trust. Big mountains. Big memories. Big confidence builders.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to hike internationally with kids—how hard it is, what ages make sense, what parents should think about—we recorded a podcast episode all about it.

Give it a listen, and reach out if your family has been dreaming about a big adventure.

Wish these young me good luck!
