Hi there, I’m Kristin!

I never took the opportunity to study abroad in college, but by the time I realized that I had a real passion for travel, I was already stuck in a 9-5 career with limited vacation time.

Growing up, I was accustomed to the 1 week vacation a year lifestyle. As I got older I realized that there were SO many more opportunities for adventure outside of the yearly vacation. Every weekend is an opportunity to adventure, every day is an opportunity for a day trip, every detour is an opportunity to explore a new place. I quickly found out that adventures didn’t have to be lavish to be enjoyable.

When we set out on our cross-country adventure, the Tetons were merely a park to check off the list. We didn’t know anything about this park at all, we just knew it was worth visiting prior to heading into Yellowstone National Park! Little did we know that it would remain one of our favorites to this day.
