Meet Your Guides- Emily Ross

You know those people who “light up a room?” Where laughter follows their movements at social events? Whose stories often fall somewhere between “I didn’t know that,” and “you’ve got to be kidding me?” Allow us to introduce you to Emily. You can thank us later.

Emily is the Yin to Allen's Yang; you will not soon forget her boundless energy, contagious enthusiasm and curiosity, and her infectious laughter. Oh, and her meals are killer, too.

Patagonia 2019

As for her experience?

Teaching middle school in New Zealand? Check.

Au pair in Scotland? Check.

The Cappadocia Loop in Turkey? Also... check. 

Glacier routes in Iceland and Mount Rainier? Uh huh.

Hiking Machu Picchu? By the rugged Salcantay Route? Yep.

How about a “date” with Allen, backpacking through Torres del Paine National Park in Patagonia? While 6 months pregnant? Of course.

Solo travel in the Masai Mara? Italy? Greece? The Netherlands? Estonia? Australia? Well, you get the picture. She hasn't done it ALL, but she hopes to soon!

At home in the desert

Emily provides a wealth of knowledge and perspective from her travels on 6 continents, yet maintains a sense of wonder and a yearning for "what's next?!" With 17+ years of experience as a Montessori educator, she is a master of turning work into play.  She especially loves the canyons of the Southwest and sunny beaches all over the world. 

Emily is a lover of art, music, and great food, a long distance runner, and a world- class mother. We’re sure you’ll get along famously.
