Find out how Just Challenge empowers women from around the world
Every year, Just Challenge, an award-winning adventure agency organises an extreme trip around the globe that requires both determination and an appetite for exploration.
Together with Her Planet Earth, a non-profit organisation focused on the connection of the environment and women’s empowerment, this year’s competition is expected to be the most exciting yet: seven days in Iceland trekking through glaciers, waterfalls and steaming hot pools.
We speak to a previous Just Challenge attendee Holly Millward, the Managing Director of sports and entertainment marketing agency CSM, to get the inside scoop on the upcoming women-only trek.

Having recently taken part in the Just Challenge trip to the Himalayas, Millward tells us there is nothing more powerful than sharing trips like these. “In the same way that life has its ups and downs, the same can be said for a challenge that puts people out of their comfort zone,” she says.
“We’ll be encountering everything from lava tunnels to hot springs and the famous colourful sulphur slopes of the Brennisteinsalda volcano,” Millward says. While the beautiful scenery is enough to entice you, you’ll also have the rare opportunity to meet like-minded women from all around the world, making friendships that will last a lifetime.

What Just Challenge events have you been a part of?
I was lucky enough to take part in the inaugural trip to the Himalayas last year. It was a privilege to be part of the start of the Just Challenge journey with an inspiring group of 100 individuals from all over the world. The campaign raised over US$300,000 for Laureus Sport for Good.
