Escape on journeys as enriching as the destination

HerScape Adventures

HerScape Adventures is a women’s travel and hiking wellness group designed to empower, inspire, and connect women through outdoor experiences. Our mission is to create a supportive space where women can explore nature, challenge themselves, and prioritize their well-being—both physically and mentally.
With a shared passion for travel, hiking, and fostering meaningful connections, we saw an opportunity to create something truly special. We envisioned a space where like-minded women could escape the everyday, embrace adventure, and discover new landscapes both outside and within themselves. Thus, HerScape Adventures—where “Her escape” meets adventure—was created.
HSA is not just about travel; it’s about creating experiences that empower, heal, and inspire. What sets us apart? We specialize in intimate small-group adventure travel, limiting each journey to 25 participants or fewer. This allows for deeper connections, personalized experiences, and the perfect balance between exploration and relaxation. Whether it’s hiking breathtaking trails, immersing in new cultures, or simply stepping outside of comfort zones, HerScape Adventures is here to make every journey unforgettable.

Whether you’re looking for a break from daily stress, a chance to meet like-minded women, or an opportunity to reconnect with nature, HerScape Adventures is here to guide the journey.

Meet the Team

My name is Christina Mays, Co-Founder and Chief Visionary Officer of HerScape Adventures™—a community where adventure becomes a catalyst for connection, confidence, and personal transformation.

Born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, my journey has taken me across the country. As a military wife, I lived on both coasts before eventually planting roots in Austin, Texas. Along the way, life shaped me in ways I never expected. After my divorce, I embraced the role of raising my three incredible daughters as a single mother while also caring for my mother during her battle with dementia. Today, one of my greatest joys is being “Nana” to my two beautiful granddaughters.

My love for the outdoors began with trail running while training for a half marathon. What started as exercise quickly became my sanctuary—a place where I found peace and renewal. That passion deepened after joining a group hike on one of Austin’s beautiful trails. Surrounded by nature and an encouraging community, I discovered that stepping onto a trail could also mean stepping into a new version of yourself.

That experience inspired the vision for HerScape Adventures™.

HerScape was created because I believe women deserve more than vacations—they deserve experiences that restore them, challenge them, and remind them of who they are. Every itinerary is intentionally designed to create opportunities for genuine connection, personal growth, moments of reflection, and unforgettable adventure. Whether it’s celebrating a milestone, conquering a mountain, sharing laughter around the dinner table, or finding quiet peace on a scenic overlook, I want every woman to leave with more than beautiful photographs. I want her to return home with renewed confidence, lasting friendships, and memories that continue to inspire long after the journey ends.

For me, the destination is only part of the adventure. The true journey is the one that happens within, and it’s a privilege to help create experiences where women can discover just how capable, resilient, and extraordinary they truly are.

My name is Norema Perry, and I am the Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of HerScape Adventures. Born in Panama and raised in New York, I have always embraced the richness of diverse cultures and experiences. I am a proud mother of three amazing children, and for many years, my life was dedicated to being the best mom and wife I could be. However, after my marriage ended, I found myself on a journey of self-discovery—seeking purpose, healing, and joy in new ways.

That journey led me to the great outdoors. Hiking and immersing myself in nature became not just a hobby but a source of renewal, strength, and self-exploration. My first major hiking adventure was at the Grand Canyon, an experience that profoundly changed my life. There, I met incredible women from different backgrounds, each with their own stories and struggles, yet all finding solace in the vast beauty of the canyon. It was there that I felt a deep sense of peace, healing, and connection. I laughed, I cried, and I allowed myself to be completely vulnerable—something I hadn’t done in a long time.

That experience ignited a passion within me to create a space where women could come together, embrace adventure, and reconnect with themselves. HerScape Adventures was born from that desire—to provide women, regardless of their background, with a safe and empowering space to explore, heal, and grow through nature. I truly believe that the outdoors has the power to transform, and I am committed to helping women experience that same sense of freedom, strength, and sisterhood that I found on my journey.

My name is Kae Sol, and I am the Adventure Photographer and Brand Storyteller for HerScape Adventures. I am a Columbus‑based financial developer, documentarian and digital archivist whose work explores the cultural and emotional significance of everyday environments. Working under the moniker xplorHerSol, I document parks, murals, small businesses, and communal spaces through an observational lens that prioritizes authenticity and lived experience.

My artistic practice centers the midlife journeys of Black women, community preservation, and the quiet power of ordinary spaces. I am currently developing Midlyfe Crysis, a documentary exploring identity, reinvention, and emotional resilience.

My name is ToniDee, and I am the Wellness Experience Curator for HerScape Adventures. I was born and raised in Oakdale, Louisiana, and now calling Austin, Texas, home. I’m a special education teacher, certified yoga instructor, and mindfulness coach. Growing up in the country gave me an early love for the outdoors, but during COVID, that connection became more personal. I found myself on the trails, looking inward, and learning how to sit with myself, something that took more practice than any yoga pose. During that season, I also began teaching yoga.

Yoga, meditation, and time outside give me room to breathe and check in with myself beyond all the roles I fill. I’m still learning to make that space consistently, which is part of why I enjoy sharing these practices with other women. I also love getting lost in a good book, exploring somewhere new, and signing up for races that have me reconsidering my choices around mile three.

As HerScape’s Wellness Leader, I guide yoga, meditation, breathwork, and reflection experiences that give women room to recharge and connect throughout our adventures. Sometimes we’re stretching after a hike; sometimes we’re slowing down long enough to notice how we actually feel. I bring encouragement and the belief that taking care of yourself should feel like something you get to do.
