Pretty & Dirty
Glow Up Travel Trips are a balance between luxury, wine, barefoot adventures and messy hair.
This is a luxury trip. Comfort is key - but so is unplugging & connecting with nature.
We will guide you outside your comfort zone, show you how strong you are…and then pamper you as a reward.

The "Glow-Up" Part
Something insane happens on these trips. When you're removed from your day to day distractions, your truest emotions rise to the surface. The bullshit falls away and leaves you with the truest version of you.
During your Glow Up Trip, here’s what you’re going to do:
- Prioritize fun.
- Step outside of your comfort zone.
- Cry...but like a feel-good therapy kind of cry.
- Get super clear on who you are (and who you want to be).
You'll leave with a head full of new ideas for your life - and the tools + sisterhood to help you brings that vision to life.

Hi, pretty girl.
I’m Alexa, the co-founder of Glow Up Travel. Why am I here? Well, believe it or not –It’s my life’s mission (yes, I have one of those) to reconnect women to the human experience through travel.(My ayahuasca experience officially confirmed this). Get ready,I’m going disconnect you from first-world stressors and distractions,and plug you back into the beauty of culture, nature, and connect you with your higher-self. This is what I do.
Oh, and I love to eat. #WillTravelForFood
Can't wait to meet you.
-xoxo, Alexa
Testimonials

Coming off 6 days on the Salmon River I can’t help but feel so grateful to Lexi for coordinating this girls trip. My soul is refreshed and my sense of adventure has been restored.
From the beginning planning stages, Lexi made me feel super comfortable and confident in her recent experiences with Momentum River Expeditions, their guides, and the trip we were going to be experiencing. She (and they) definitely delivered - rafting, kayaking, camping, hot springs, hikes, historical homesteads, bridge jumping, sunbathing, sleeping under a blanket of stars, thrilling rapids, delicious food, incredible women and 4 outstanding river guides I trusted with my life.
I walked away with a piece of that river permanently in my heart, with new friendships, and a new appreciation for a warm, hot shower! I would highly recommend a trip like this to anyone thinking about going - just do it - it may just change your life.— Ashley
Salmon River, Idaho, 2025 + Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, 2022 -
I can honestly say that this trip healed my soul. I haven’t laughed that hard since middle school! Alexa’s river rafting trip in Oregon was everything I didn’t know I needed—amazing food, breathtaking nature, and the best group of people I’ve ever met.
Unplugging from the world and connecting with such incredible humans was beyond healing. I’m officially hooked and plan to go river rafting with Alexa every summer. All humans need to experience this kind of magic!— Melissa
