Welcome to Dream life trips

  • Dream Life Trips are experiential, immersive surf/yoga/adventure/self-development trips for women. Founded by Amy Timmerman, a Canadian who moved to Mexico to pursue her own “Dream Life”, we are passionate about crafting intentional experiences to show other women that their ‘dream life’ is possible!

  • Dream Life Trips combine travel, wellness, and self-development. Our Classic Dream Life Trip experience includes surf, yoga, time in Sayulita, and guided workshops around careers, money, and alternative ways of living and working.

    Our trips are deeply immersed in the local community and culture, offering a more connected and authentic experience of each destination. Led by host Amy Timmerman, who has long-standing relationships within the town, guests are welcomed into the rhythm of local life rather than staying at an all-inclusive resort or retreat center.

    Groups are intentionally small and women-only to foster meaningful connection. The focus is not on escaping your life, but on returning home with confidence, insight, and a clearer sense of direction.

  • Dream Life Trips are for women who feel curious about alternative ways of living, working, and designing their lives, while having a super fun week of adventure and friendship. Many guests are students, recent graduates, creatives, entrepreneurs, or remote workers who want to expand their perspective and explore what’s possible beyond the traditional path.

    The trips are ideal for women who value wellness, community, and meaningful travel, and who want an experience that feels immersive, intentional, and real. You don’t need prior surf or yoga experience, just an open mind and a willingness to try something new.

    If you’re craving clarity, connection, and a deeper relationship with yourself and the world around you, this experience was designed with you in mind.

WELCOME TO Dream Life trips-

hosted by Amy Timmerman

Hi! I’m Amy, a Canadian gal who now lives in Mexico.

Before becoming a surfer and entrepreneur, I worked for a NGO running trips in Kenya and Tanzania, represented Canada at the United Nations, received a 5 year honors BA in International Relations from Western University in Canada.

I left the traditional corporate & academic world to pursue my dream life of living by the beach, running my brand Save Our Surf, and surfing everyday. I am passionate about living a beautiful, purposeful life on my own terms, and teaching other women that their dream life is possible, too!

I am currently based in Sayulita full-time, running my brand Save Our Surf, doing content creation, and now running Dream Life Trips.

I am a 200 hour Registered Yoga Teacher and an ISA level 2 Surf Instructor

welcome to the dream LIFE.

activities

  • Two women paddleboarding on the ocean with clear blue water.

    surfing

    This trip is ideal for women interested in surfing and the surf lifestyle, whether you are just starting out or already an experienced longboarder. No prior surf experience is required, as professional lessons are included to support skill development at all levels.

    Participants should feel comfortable swimming in the ocean and be prepared to take personal responsibility in the water, as surfing is an individual sport even when guided. For more experienced surfers, the breaks we visit are well-suited to beginner through advanced longboarding, including Amy’s favorite local longboard break.

  • A woman with long blonde hair, wearing a pink t-shirt and white shorts, walks on a sandy beach during sunset carrying a large cardboard box and a white bag.

    career mentorship

    If you’re feeling uncertain about your next chapter and craving guidance, perspective, and support, this trip is designed for you. The experience includes group sessions and personalized one-on-one mentorship before, during, and after the trip to help you gain clarity around your life direction.

    You’ll leave with a clearer sense of what you want, greater confidence in your decisions, and a grounded vision for what comes next.

    Topics we cover: building an e-commerce brand, monetizing social media, working as a freelancer, taxes and visas for working/living abroad, and more!

  • People participating in a yoga class inside a hut with a thatched roof, practicing poses on yoga mats.

    yoga + women's circles

    Nourish your body, mind, and spirit through yoga and women’s circles designed to support grounding, presence, and self-connection. Yoga and spirituality have been foundational in Amy’s personal journey, serving as tools for mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and deeper self-awareness.

    Women’s circles create space for reflection, intention setting, and meaningful conversation, allowing you to connect with yourself and others in a supportive, judgment-free environment. These practices are not “workouts”, they are spiritual practices to get in touch with yourself and create clarity from within.

    sisterhood

    Each Dream Life Trip is intentionally curated to bring together a small group of like-minded women, creating a supportive and genuine community that extends well beyond the week of the trip.

    Sisterhood is a core value of Dream Life Trips. These experiences are designed to foster connection and new friendships based on shared values. We create spaces where women support one another, share openly, and grow together. Dream Life girls leave with deep friendships, ongoing support, and a sense of belonging that continues long after the trip ends.
