Book It, Feel It, Love It:
Why Planning Your Adventure Early Supercharges the Whole Experience
The rush is real when you click ‘Confirm Booking’. It’s the thrill of saying yes to something bold, something new, something exciting on the horizon. That spark you feel when your next adventure is locked in? That’s dopamine – the happy hormone – doing its thing and fuelling your excitement for what’s to come. And the best bit? With Adventurous Ewe, that buzz doesn’t stop there.
Booking your adventure a year or so in advance isn’t just about good organisation. It’s about giving yourself the space – and the support – to enjoy the full journey. And at Adventurous Ewe, we make every step of that countdown part of the adventure.
So whether you’re dreaming of snowshoeing in the Arctic, cycling the Land of a Thousand Hills in Rwanda or climbing lesser known peaks in Nepal, here’s why booking early is the smartest and most exciting decision you can make – and why doing it with us makes all the difference.
🌟Make the Most of the Adventure High
Ride the Dopamine Wave
That post-booking high is science-backed – and powerful. Lock in your spot now and stretch out the excitement. Our Vamoos Travel App puts a personal countdown clock in your pocket, helping you stay focused, motivated, and buzzing for the journey ahead.
Save Money, Secure Your Place
Flights and group spots get snapped up fast – especially on our remote, small-group expeditions, many of which only run once a year. Booking early gives you the best shot at securing your place, getting decent flight prices, and locking in the dates that work best for you. Remote destinations like Greenland, Rwanda, or Iceland in the Winter, which often run just once a year and have limited capacity (typically 6 – 12 people).
Travel Smarter, Travel Better
Planing ahead gives you the flexibility to extend your trip – whether that’s arriving a few days before your expedition starts to get over jet lag, or staying on afterwards to explore at your own pace. It’s not just a nicer way to travel – it’s better for the planet, too.
By slowing down, flying less frequently, and spending more time in one place, you reduce your carbon footprint and support local economies in a more meaningful way. You’ll also get more from the experience – from wandering local markets and trying regional food, to simply having the time to breathe it all in without rushing to the airport.
Give Yourself Time to Prepare – Properly
The difference between a tough slog and a life-changing adventure? Preparation. Booking early gives you time to:
- Sort Your Kit the Right Way
No need for any last-minute panic buys. We’ll send you a full kit list along with plenty of helpful advice from our experienced Leaders – like Jo Bradshaw’s Essential Packing Guide for Kilimanjaro (7-Summiteer, so she knows her stuff!). You’ll have time to borrow, test and tweak your gear to suit you. It’s also a great chance to check out second-hand outdoor gear options like ReWorn or the Outdoor Gear Exchange group on Facebook – good for your wallet and the planet.
- Train Smart and Feel Strong
We provide expert training guides tailored to each trip – so you can build up gradually and enjoy every step on the trail, rather than counting the steps to the finish.
Getting fit for your trip boosts more than just your physical strength. You’ll sleep better, feel more energised, and arrive with the confidence to enjoy the whole experience.
You’re Not Just a Number
This is a big one.
With Adventurous Ewe, you’re not lost in a booking system or speaking to someone in a call centre. You’re talking to the people who run the business and lead the trips – people who’ve cycled Costa Rica, snowshoed the Arctic, summited Kilimanjaro scores of times, lived in Morocco and lead overland expeditions across the African & Asian continents for over 12 years.
You’ll speak to AE Founder, Jim, or Deputy Ewe, Sue – and when they say “you’ll be fine on that trail”, it’s because they’ve actually done it. That honesty and personal insight is rare – and it’s something our flock values deeply.
