LiveAlive has allowed me to do just that: live fully alive - and recognize courage in myself I didn’t know I had!

I’ve been on two adventures to India and Moab with LiveAlive in the past year, and plan on attending many more in the future. I have felt fully prepared, safe, and supported every step of the way on both trips. Logistics are impeccably well-planned and communicated. The two biggest reasons why I love LiveAlive is that it has supported me in visiting places I wouldn’t have necessarily gone by myself and partake in activities that were outside of my comfort zone (safaris, rock climbing and repelling, etc.) AND the people - both times I’ve traveled only knowing a few people and returned with lifelong friends and family. I cannot recommend LiveAlive enough. It has truly changed perspective on life, adventure, and the power of human connection. Cheers to future adventures!

I have completed two adventures thus far, Zion 2018 and Moab 2019. Each adventure is not like the other. Each adventure is a unique experience. The unique part from the start is adventuring with upwards to 25 other adventurers whom you have never met. This is one of the best parts about the experience and that’s just the beginning.
Live Alive does all the research for you. This includes food and activities for the day. There will be an excursion for the day that will most definitely bring you out of your comfort zone. This allows for some personal growth that you probably had no idea you were going to get out of the trip. The co-leaders work together to make it an amazing experience. I would not have gotten through the excursions without them.
Going into the trip with intention and not expectations leaves you open for an amazing experience. The most recent trip we each left apart of ourselves with each person on the trip. So many deep belly laughs, s’mores, dancing and campfires. The trip became about the people, connecting and the adventure we created together. It was unlike any other trip I have been on. I am looking forward to the next one.

The retreats are incredibly well planned and even the smallest details were taken into account. I'm actually paid to look for tiny issues as my full time job so I'm confident in that statement. The locations are fantastic offer breath taking scenery. The accommodations are impeccable with great rooms and food that's so fresh and delicious that I'm getting hungry thinking about it right now.

More than anything the activities and the hosts are masters in making you feel welcome in your own skin and that makes it easy for the group to bond and connect. As a result not only do you come back with some incredible stories (like surfing and jumping off waterfalls on black sand beaches when you don't necessarily know how to swim) you also get to come back with a community. I'm still in touch with people from both trips.

I've been to two LIVE ALIVE Adventures and both were life changing for me. The first trip was to Panama and I was opened to a whole new world of possibilities for myself. I felt so changed that I decided to take yoga teacher training after Panama. The second trip was to Nicaragua and I came back with the confidence to teach yoga and pursue my career as an engineer. I had so many adventures I could tell that I didn't have to limit myself in my regular life. LIVE ALIVE.

I’ve been on various trips with LiveAlive. Each offers something different, always full of adventure. I’ve most enjoyed the trips for the community and the people. With each trip Amara promotes the unwritten expectations for successful adventure travel: be flexible, be open and committed to community, be brave, have no expectations.

Amara builds fantastic relationships in the places she chooses to bring her adventurers, and she thoughtfully plans every aspect from the places, adventures, guides, food.
I believe I have met some of the most remarkable people who have made my adventure and my life more vibrant—From the LiveAlive co-leaders to the resort and surf instructors in Panama to the mountaineering guides in Moab to the country guide in Iceland to Drishti Photography along to capture it all. Not to mention all the others along to adventure!

With every trip I feel like my travel is shared with friends, and I have a growing community of friends near and far. As a seasoned traveler, I’m finally able to enjoy what I love with people I love!!
