About

After spending years taking weekend trips and trying to fit as much as we could into each week long vacation, we decided to do something a little different. We quit our jobs, sold all of our belongings and bought a one way ticket to New Zealand. The pandemic brought the trip to a halt, but after 12 months of moving around, having a homebase again is great.

The PNW is our launchpad now for weekend adventures. We will keep sharing and helping others get inspired.

“And then there is the most dangerous risk of all – the risk of spending your life not doing what you want on the bet you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later.” – Randy Komisar

“Traveling makes one modest – you see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.” – Gustave Flaubert

A middle child, snowboarding enthusiast, cheese lover, reader of outdoor gear reviews and also up for checking out a brewery. Born in MN, raised in Southern California and lived about ten places since then.

The one that is in charge of packing, researching supplies, flying the drone, and driving on the opposite side of the road.

A book nerd, type A personality, awkward picture taker, rule follower, boxed wine drinker, and huge fan of playing outside. Raised on the ice rinks of MN and didn’t leave until moving to NYC as an adult.

The one that is in charge of making lists, checking them twice, organizing internet things, and 90% of Instagram stories.

We were married in 2008, bought a house in St. Paul, Minnesota and were ready to be adults and settle down. Until we weren’t. We moved to the east coast in 2013 for a new adventure. Fell in love with New York City, got better at skiing & snowboarding and took our first international trip together to Iceland. We had the best two dogs in the world.

After another move for work and the loss of both dogs in the same year to cancer, we found ourselves trying to figure out what to do next and that’s how this adventure was born.
