Join Women Who Wander for Inspiration and Networking at Overland Expo PNW

In a few short weeks, Overland Expo PNW will be back in Redmond, Oregon, and it’ll be the weekend to check out awesome gear, get training from world-class instructors, and enjoy all kinds of great events over the weekend of June 26-28. One of the highlights of Overland Expo PNW that you don’t want to miss is the Women Who Wander Networking Event sponsored by MAXXIS Tires. Here, attendees can meet fellow adventurers, enjoy an awesome charcuterie spread, and learn from inspiring ladies during the chat.

This bring-your-own-chair event is taking place June 26, 6-8 PM, just outside of the education area. Enjoy a drink, a snack, and some guaranteed great conversations. This event is open to all Overland Expo PNW attendees. During the event, we’ll learn from Luisa Graeme and Alyssa Ravasio, inspiring adventurers who are sure to inspire and educate everyone around the campfire.

Alyssa Ravasio of Hipcamp

Founder and CEO of Hipcamp, Alyssa has built the leading platform for discovering unique campsites, now spanning more than 140,000 locations. A lifelong camper, she is passionate about expanding access to the outdoors through technology. Also, be sure to check out a special collaborative project between Hipcamp and Overland Expo. The Epic 2026 Adventure Route is a great resource if you’re visiting any Overland Expos this year.

Luisa Bell

Luisa and her family have an amazing catalog of overland trips together over the course of the last 16 years. They have circumnavigated South America, traveled from Argentina to Alaska, crossed the United States multiple times, and driven from Europe to their native South Africa. Luisa and her husband Graeme co-wrote Travel the Planet Overland. Luisa is an excellent source of information as she’s learned plenty of lessons over countless miles, and her experiences are a great resource for everyone looking to overland alone or as a family.
