hey it's mads!
Hi! I’m Mads—a 25-year-old Texan with a big love for travel, raving, and creating unforgettable experiences around the world.
I first stumbled into the underground rave scene during COVID, when the world felt upside down and all I wanted was to feel alive again. That first taste of freedom, music, and connection completely changed the course of my life—and I’ve been chasing that energy ever since.
Along the way, I realized how many women crave this kind of experience too, but feel overwhelmed by the idea of going it alone. That’s why I started Girls Who Rave: to create trips that are safe, exciting, and full of real connection for women who want to explore the world through music and community.
So far, we’ve hosted five epic girls’ trips in Budapest and four more in Berlin, with our first-ever festival trip happening at Sziget Festival in Budapest this summer. Watching strangers turn into family on these trips has been nothing short of magic.
We’re growing fast and dreaming even bigger—with new destinations like Ibiza, Croatia, and Tbilisi on the horizon.
Whether it’s your first rave or your fiftieth, this is your invitation to say yes to something new—with people who get it.
