Adventure Lover and the Founder of Lover Her Wild, Bex Band

Bex Band is an adventurer and the founder of the Love Her Wild, which is a women’s adventure community with over 10,000 members and is the UK’s largest female adventure community. The community has regular expeditions in the UK and abroad, as well as community activities such as mentoring, sponsorship, and a supportive community group, are all aimed at encouraging more women to get outside and engage on adventures.
Her expeditions are hiking the length of Israel, kayaking the length of the United Kingdom against plastic waste, and kick-scooting the length of the United States are among her personal exploits. After seeing a paucity of female adventurers, Bex founded Love Her Wild in 2017 to give resources and opportunities for female adventurers. Love Her Wild has taken hundreds of women on life-changing trips all around the world. In addition to an online forum, the group offers a mentoring program and funding opportunities to help women overcome financial and social hurdles to stepping outside.

In 2021, she organized Women’s End2End, a world-first hiking relay across the UK, bringing together hundreds of women to help carry the baton and raise money for conservation.
Bex was named one of the top 30 inspirational entrepreneurs in the UK by Business Leader, and she received the Next Generation Award from Enterprise Nation. She was nominated for a National Diversity Award for her efforts fighting for women in adventure and was named a “Legacy Maker” on the San Miguel Alternative Rich List in 2018.
