About Us

Muddy after traversing the Sawtooth

We have hiked 14ers in Colorado,and traveled the American West in a 2 seat convertible sports car.  We have had grizzly bears walk through camp and stumbled upon black bears on the trail.  We have gotten food poisoning in Morocco and climbed Half Dome.  We have kayaked the Apostle Islands, and visited small towns across Wisconsin.

We are siblings from La Crosse Wisconsin, and we make the choice to travel.  While balancing school, life, and work, we spend our free time exploring the American landscape and beyond.  

We made this site as a way to share our travels and what we’ve learned.  We are not experts, but we have travelled to some pretty cool spots, and we think we have learned a couple things. 

Whether you’re here to laugh at us, learn from us, or just keep up with what we’re up to, we think there is something for anyone interested in travel.  We have a passion for travel, and we think you should too!

Who We Are
