The light is shining. The world awaits and with it, endless hiking, a new found appreciation for the wonders of travel, and a deep desire to be outside engaging.
Welcome! Our trips just keep on getting better. Yes, we've finessed our trips to become a way of life ... maximizing today, the moment, the full on experience.
We start the year in paradise ... New Zealand, a true hiking destination. This will be our third time returning to "the Long White Cloud" where we're focusing on two truly magnificent hikes ... the Abel Tasman and the Queen Charlotte Track. LOLA hiked the Abel Tasman back in 2023 and we're hiking its golden sands & coastal forest trails once again. As for the Queen Charlotte Track, this "real" never never land is something out of a Peter Pan storybook ... "hands down, the most breath taking, unforgettable 71 kilometers I've ever walked in my life!" ... the quote that says it all.
The magic of Ireland will unfold when we head over in May to hike the Wild Atlantic Way. With Liam as our guide and the powerful Atlantic ocean by our side, we'll hike the emerald green pastures, visit the Cliffs of Moher, and toast our Irish friends with a Sláinte or two.
The Via Matildica in Northern Italy is a discovery, a true gem. We're returning in the fall of 2025 for our 4th time. It's a remarkable trip: a hike/pilgrimage that delivers so much in the way of richness - history, scenery, culture, cuisine, moments and authenticity. It's a glorious way to explore a forgotten Italy.
Iceland, a trip requested by many, is coming back in 2026 with full on magic. The local Icelandic family that we've partnered with is thrilled ... the fun we all had in 2024 was pretty special.
Patagonia ... Canada ... stay tuned.
It is fair to say that our LOLA trips are transformative. There is nothing quite like a trip that exposes you to so much of what is important ... to truly living ... to the exhilaration of the physical to the hilarity of play to the beauty of nature.
It's JOY ... living out loud while enjoying the camaraderie of others and the beauty of life.

＂LOLA is a company that provides a superbly organized adventurous travel experience with a heart...

The world belongs, and will always belong, to the people who participate.
Those who stand on the outside, who never risk, who never fail, cannot now,
nor will they ever, understand the beauty of each breath of life.
So don’t feel sorry for those who fail, feel sorry for the majority that never participate.
They’ll just never understand, let alone feel, all that life can and should be.
