Hi! We are Laura and Joel, world travelers, coffee lovers, and parents to two adorable fur babies.

In 2016 we left our accounting and engineering jobs to try something different and travel the world full time. Up to then, we had rarely left our little bubble in California so we started small by moving to Oregon and exploring the PNW. This is where we fell in love with the outdoors, hiking and backpacking.
