Alexis's story

The idea for Authentic Adventures has been on my mind for quite some time. I'm a recreation therapist and have always had a love for nature, the outdoors, and connecting with others through outdoor experiences. In 2017, I have diagnosed with Stage 4 Papillary Thyroid Cancer. To cope with this unwanted experience, I set my sites on an adventure and did my first solo tour of Italy that September. This caused me to seek out more adventure and from 2018 to 2020, I participated in many outdoor adventures through First Descents and Send It Foundation, organizations that provide free adventures for young adults with cancer. These experiences brought healing in a way no medical procedure or medication could. After experiencing this, I wanted to do the same for others.

Although 2020 brought many difficulties and halted many of the adventures that I loved, this allowed me to take the time and develop ideas for my own company. After planning a 5 National Park road trip, leading friends and family on adventures in my hometown, Authentic Adventures Central CA was born. Using my background in Recreation Therapy and her love of the outdoors, I now provide custom trips, retreats, meetups, and team builders.
