Who is this Trip for?

This tour was created with plus-size travelers in mind. However, travelers of all sizes and gender identities are invited.  It's ideal for those who enjoy leisurely hikes and relaxing natural hot springs. 


The Chasing The Northern Lights Tour is perfect for the traveler who isn't afraid to go after what they want. Someone who loves nature is adventurous and is willing to wake up early and stay up late for a chance to get a glimpse at the Aurora Borealis. 

Special information

You will spend lots of time in a private van exploring Iceland's Golden Circle. The extended periods of sitting will be broken up with nature walks and relaxing hot spring sessions.


Please note that while there is a good chance of seeing the lights of the aurora this far north, there is no guarantee, as they are a natural phenomenon and weather conditions can affect visibility. 


There are several apps you can download that show current and forecast activity of the aurora around the world. Some can alert you at night when the aurora becomes visible in your location. 


Remember to pack warm clothes, as temperatures can drop to below –5°C.

Our Fat Camp Retreats are the opposite of the weight loss camps you might be thinking of. Our adult summer camp focuses on self-care, community, travel, and fun! This year we’re returning to Finger Lakes Wine Country for our annual stateside Fat Camp. This year we’re launching Fat Camp Canada and traveling to Scotland for Fat Camp UK!

There are not enough words or emotions to describe my trip with Annette! It was my first time out of the country. She coordinated this trip with experiences I’ll never be able to repeat. The cenote, the beaches, the yacht trip, the food, the tour guide and the friendships I made in 5 days! The day to Chichen Itza was fabulous. It was magical, it was memorable and it was breathtaking! Annette made sure each of us were comfortable, safe and had everything we needed to make our stay wonderful! I will definitely travel again with her! Tulum, playa del Carmen, the cenote, Umaya, and did I mention the food! I’ve made new friends, made new memories and have experienced emotions of never felt before! I’d give it 10 stars!!

This was my second trip with Annette and FGT. I loved it! My only complaint is that it was over too soon. Annette planned this retreat meticulously, with intention and a special focus on providing an experience that was chill but adventurous. The adventures we went on - a cenote, a day out on a private yacht with snorkeling, Chichen Itza, etc. - were all focused on experiencing less touristy parts of Mexico and grounding us in culture and history. We ate local food and went to places off the beaten path. We also had plenty of time to float in our private pool, do art, hang out and chat, and just enjoy ourselves. Just like on my previous trip with FGT, I've made friends for life. At this point, I'd travel anywhere in the world with Annette and FGT!

I had such an amazing time at fat Camp this year. This is my second time attending and I have yet to be disappointed. Not only does Annette curate a well rounded trip, she remembers small touches that make you feel special. there was wine tasting, sailing, impromptu singing, drag queens and nightly chats by the fire. Most importantly, I got to be in community with some incredibly lovely women and can't wait to do it all again. I've become accustomed to treating myself to this yearly excursion and look forward to what Fat Camp offers in 2024.

A truly amazing experience! I felt comfortable, seen, and supported. Annette did such a brilliant job at curating a fantastic getaway in the Finger Lakes. The food was magnificent. The entertainment was outstanding. Our activities were well paced and inclusive. Most importantly, the other attendees were a delight. I plan to travel with Annette again in the near future!
