Laurel Robbins is the founder of Monkeys and Mountains Hiking, one of the best hiking tour companies in Europe. A proudly woman-owned business, Laurel’s on a mission to help 1 million people discover how life-changing hiking can be—whether it’s your first trail or your fiftieth.

Originally from Canada (yes, she apologizes too much and loves maple syrup), Laurel has spent over 20 years hiking and traveling across six continents, chasing summits from the Canadian Rockies to the Alps. She holds degrees in B.Mgmt, B.Sc, and M.Ed—proof that she’s a total nerd when she’s not out getting shown up by mountain goats.

Her travel writing has appeared in BBC Travel, BBC Earth, National Geographic, Forbes, and more. Laurel’s also taken the stage at ITB Berlin, World Travel Market, TBEX, Arival, and Bansko Nomad Fest, sharing why lacing up your boots might just be the best decision you’ll ever make.

When she’s not plotting new trails for clients (or sneaking in cough, “research hikes” for herself), you’ll find her with a glass of wine, planning her next big adventure – probably trying to convince you to join.
