Hi! :)
We are Ryan and Katie, a young married couple living on Vancouver Island with our Old English Sheepdog, Pluto. We have been eagerly exploring this jewel of British Columbia for many years now, escaping to the mountains whenever we can. We've also developed a penchant for international adventure travel, with recent highlights including a Japan ski touring trip and Vietnam motorcycle and caving tours.
We started this site during the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to record our adventures and share them with friends and family, near and far. As time has gone on, we've branched out to also aiming to connect with and provide useful information for other adventurers. We hope you enjoy reading about our adventures and that we can inspire you to take that trip or tackle that objective!
About Katie:
Born and raised in the hidden gem of Smithers, in north central BC, Katie is happiest when she is in the mountains. She loves exploring, whether it be on two feet or two wheels. Katie's favourite international destination so far has been Japan.
About Ryan:
Born and raised on Vancouver Island, Ryan grew up exploring through Strathcona Provincial Park on skis in the winter and on the trail in the summer. He loves to get outside - be it backpacking, on the water, or on the road. Ryan's personal goal in the coming years is to complete the Alpine Club of Canada's Island Qualifiers.
