Our Story
Hey, I'm Dani (on the left) and this is my wife Alexandra (on the right)! We both met at work while working in corporate I.T. and now get to work entirely remotely from wherever we are. Being able to work remotely allows us the freedom to take the trips we want to take and be able to not have to plan around being in an office. Becoming location independent like this literally changed our lives.
Even though we love to travel various times throughout the year, our home base is in the pacific northwest. Road trips and exploring are what actually led us to our home in the PNW. We are both from the midwest and lived there for most of our lives until an adventure led us to relocate 2100 miles across the country at the end of 2020.
The Mission
We both love the outdoors whether it is on a hike, run, with our pets, or touring a new place we discovered when taking a wrong turn on a road trip. It is amazing how much you have yet to discover, even in your own backyard (and not). So much so that we thought we would create this site dedicated to just that - the unexplored road or trail right in front of you. As avid hikers, road trippers, and travelers, we wanted a platform to share our experiences and bring together other hikers and travelers.
Here you will read everything from hiking tips, experiences, and gear reviews to entire road trip itineraries but they will all be pretty focused to a specific area or route so you can pick and choose based on where you are (and maybe meet some others along the way). Everything on this site isn't written only by us and we want to create a space where all wanderers are welcome to share their tips and stories as well.
Above all else, we are here to spread the message that anyone can make their dream trip or dream outdoors adventure a reality, do it safely and freely, and within their budget.

So if you have a great travel/road trip story, hiking experiences to share, big accomplishments, and anything outdoors-related - drop us an email at [email protected] or fill out this form.
Let's embrace the beauty that still lies beneath, #getoutside, and explore!
