This extension of LimitLes brings like-minded women together to explore our most loved corners of the world! The intention of LimitLes Explore is to continue to facilitate group travel ~the LimitLes way~ at a lower price point and bigger scale than our OG LimitLes retreats. These trips foster connection, exploration, perspective, and something much bigger than us. It’s the ultimate girls trip!
About LimitLes Explore
The common thread of The Road Les Traveled, the LimitLes retreat series, and now LimitLes Explore has always been to encourage people to step out of their comfort zone to explore new landscapes and perspectives in the world, and in turn, themselves.
LimitLes Explore is an extension of LimitLes Travel retreats where I curate an itinerary from the ground up with my favorite travel partners from around the globe. While I’m not leading the trip this time around, the intention of LimitLes Explore is to continue to facilitate group travel with a curated itinerary and my personal touches with like-minded people in the most beautiful places on the planet. These trips foster connection, exploration, perspective, and something much bigger than myself.
Who is the LimitLes Explorer?
The LimitLes community is a safe space where women come together to explore new parts of the world and in turn themselves. We are mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, cancer survivors, caretakers, travel junkies, adventure seekers, criers, and deep-belly laughers. If you are an open-hearted human seeking the road les traveled with women alongside you who are craving the same movement, adventure, and community you are in the right place.
Where does LimitLes Explore go?
So often, I’m asked about my favorite place to visit. While this question might be challenging to some as their answer changes through the years, mine is unwavering. “Patagonia!” is what I always say, and it hasn’t changed since I stepped foot on its soil for the first time in 2014. If you’ve been following me on social media or The Road Les Traveled for a while, you know my love runs deep for the Andes Mountains, the wildlife, the raw beauty and the beautiful people of the region, so it only made sense to kick off this dream travel series in the place I love most. In 2024, 2 groups of 16 like-minded women explored Argentine and Chilean Patagonia over 10 incredible days guided by the best in the business. Two countries one one itinerary – another LimitLes first!

Our aim with LimitLes Explore is to make travel to our favorite parts of the world more accessible while still maintaining comfortable accommodations in ideal locations, offering exclusive activities, and adding in extra special itinerary highlights – all vetted and curated by us while being guided by our long-term travel partners. With that being said, The Road Les Traveled strives for epic adventures and unmatched nature experiences in sometimes expensive regions of the world. We’re excited to bring our favorite parts of Patagonia to more explorers at a more economical price point than our LimitLes Travel retreats. (For reference, our LimitLes Chile 2022 retreat price was $9,200 VS LimitLes Explore Patagonia 2024 was $7,500)
