A note about our Boundless Work Culture:Įxplorer Chick is a virtual office with Dream Team members scattered throughout the United States with our “World HQ” in Cincinnati, OH.

Being a member of the Explorer Chick Team is a demanding role requiring a unique skill set. However, we require more than just a love for the outdoors and adventure travel if you want to work and travel as a guide for us. So, you wanna join the Team? Fantastic! We think it’s the greatest job in the world! (But then again, we’re outdoor junkies who love snuggling in our sleeping bags and cooking group meals next to a campfire.)

Providing our Explorer Chicks with bold, well-orchestrated, safe adventures is what makes us successful! We are always on the lookout for women who are not only passionate about work and travel in the outdoors, but those who want to create a wonderful experience for others. Explorer Chick empowers women in the outdoors through kick ass outdoor adventures, uncommon experiences, a supportive community, and a healthy dose of SHE-nanigans.
