We live to explore the world around us and find intrigue in what is different, unknown, and even scary…because we know that we are on a journey to observe, to learn, and to interpret, in order to become more educated, more understanding and more appreciative of this wonderful world and the humans and creatures that cross our paths and fill our lives.

Lindsey
Our Founder and CEO (Chief Experience Officer), Lindsey Conroy,
Lindsey is an avid traveler and has designed a life that is centered around movement, conscious travel, unique experiences and community. After 6 years in the corporate world, gaining experience in Marketing and Business Management, Lindsey decided to pursue her dream of becoming an entrepreneur and focus on her passions.
In 2014 she left the corporate world to focus on her future business – AdZENtures, an Experiential Travel Company. In deciding to do so, she spent the next 11 months traveling around the world to teach and study yoga, explore the world and establish meaningful relationships in many unique destinations. During this time she discovered Slovenia, which would one day become the European headquarters for AdZENtures.
In 2016 she landed in Austin where she officially founded AdZENtures. She began teaching outdoor wellness programs for locals and travelers alike, both in Austin and Slovenia. From brief, daily experiences, Lindsey gained enough of a community to launch the first ever Experiential Retreat in Slovenia in 2017. The group of 8 guests loved the experience so much, they were eager find out where the next AdZENture would be, and so began the development of more AdZENtures. She has developed and lead retreats in over 19 locations, across 12 countries for the past 9 years.
Lindsey leads every AdZENture to date and loves getting to share her passion and expertise with guests who love to learn about new cultures, have unforgettable and impactful experiences and connect with an intentional community. She is truly living her passion and hopes to share AdZENtures with the world for many years to come!
As CAO (Chief Adventure Officer), Jordan is in charge of designing most of our unique and memorable adventures. He has dedicated his life to travel, exploring new places, seeking out unpaved paths and finding those special experiences that are discoverable to those who are prepared to take risks.
Jordan is a professional skydiving instructor, deep sea fisherman and experience provider. He lives a life of adventure by pursing his passions of moutaineering, speed flying and base jumping. He is great at discovering rugged and awe-striking locations for our AdZENturers and creating unforgettable experiences that challenge your comfort zone! He loves to learn new things and has become quite the assistant brewer, fish smoker and chicken coop architect! A man of all trades and one we are so lucky to have on our team!
He wasn’t always into yoga but being married to our Founder and CEO, that was bound to change. He’s incorporated it into his wellness routine which has helped his body recover from all of the strenuous work he puts his body through for work and pleasure. Jordan adds that sense of adventure and challenge into all of our experiences and supports our guests to do the same!

Sebestyén, we call him Šebi, grew up in a kayak but later fell in love with a whitewater SUP. Šebi is an ISA certified SUP instructor and owner of the Bovec SUP company in Slovenia. Paddling has been his true passion since he was 9 years old. You will mostly find him playing on the waves of the Soča river.
AdZENtures has partnered with Šebi and Bovec SUP since the first year it was open! Lindsey and Šebi have been working together to bring awareness to both SUP and Yoga…so it works perfectly to have a program that combines both. You can join us for SUP Yoga classes in Bovec or for our first SUP and Yoga Camp in 2023!
