BECOME A GALZ GONE WILD HOST


We are assembling a badass crew of ‘GGW Hosts’ from Galway and surrounding commutable towns to host GGW Communities in their County. We hope to continue to encourage and empower all women regardless of their athletic ability, to connect them with our surrounding landscape, to get back into nature, to nurture, build increased confidence, creativity, fitness, mindfulness and adventure. Most importantly we want to have fun and forge new friendships out in the wild! If you want to be a ‘Wild Gal Guide’ and share your love of the outdoors with others then GALZGONEWILD would love to hear from you.
