Why Trust Our Travel Guides?
Hi, we’re Skye and Garrett, adventure-focused full-time travelers, lifelong hikers, alpine climbers, and experienced ultralight backpackers who have spent years exploring remote trails, rugged landscapes, and international destinations around the world. We’re both alpine climb leaders, climbing sinstructors, and assistant AIARE instructors for The Mountaineers in Washington State. We’ve been vanlifers for years, but hit the road full-time in 2023 in our tiny campervan.
Together, we’ve road-tripped across national parks, backpacked classic and lesser-known, technical routes, and spent months abroad, traveling through destinations like Patagonia, the Canadian Rockies, Europe, and SE Asia. Through our blog, we share real-world travel tips, ultralight gear reviews, and detailed itineraries based on firsthand experience, so you can plan smarter, travel lighter, and explore with confidence.
No matter where you’re heading next, our goal is to inspire your adventures and help you experience the world in a deeper, more rewarding way.
