Emily Benz
Tour Leader
Emily’s greatest gift is caring for others. As a tour leader, she wants every woman to feel seen, valued, and supported as they explore new places and pursue their dreams. She has the skills and compassion to make any tour unforgettable with her authenticity. Eager to shift into whatever role is needed while making joy a priority along the way.
Emily has a deep curiosity about the natural world and loves sharing her enthusiasm for biology, wildlife, and the incredible places she explores. She believes travel is as much about the people and connections made along the way as it is about the destinations themselves.
When she isn’t traveling, Emily runs Rural Remedy, a small business focused on building community and human connection. At home, she wrangles two young kids and a husband, cooks fresh from scratch, and is always finding new ways to move, learn, and bring people together. And wherever she travels, she makes sure to have something herbal to sip on!
“From the moment we arrived and met our guides Emily and Inga, we were put at ease and knew we were in for a good trip. The knowledge of these two and the care that was put into the accommodations, hikes, water experiences, the food choices, the routes taken, even the cool van that we used for the duration of the journey; it all was created with such care.” – Annie C. (Iceland Multi-Sport)
“Emily, our guide, was thoughtful, attentive and helpful in showing us the best Iceland has to offer. I was very hesitant to book a group tour, but after my experience with Green Edventures, I’m ready to sign up again. Thank you, Emily and Green Edventures, for facilitating this amazing opportunity.” -Tennille P (Iceland)
