About your organizer

I'm Erin Parker - founder of Travel Her Way, Lapland Lowdown & Travel From Australia, group trip host and someone who believes the best version of yourself is usually found somewhere outdoors, enjoying an adventure which may include being above 3,000 metres or well below sub-zero temperatures.

I've led trips to Finnish Lapland, women's weekenders and have more exciting trips planned for the future. Every trip has confirmed what I already knew: the right trip, with the right people, changes something in you permanently.

I'm also a mum, which means I understand exactly what it takes to actually commit to something like this - and why it matters so much when you do.

I work closely with businesses on the ground in destinations we travel within. Our guides are vetted, the pacing is intentional and nothing makes it onto the itinerary unless I believe it will genuinely move you. My job is to make sure that when you step off that plane or walk in the door, all you have to do is show up.
