About

Hi! We are Chris and Mikayla and are avid outdoor lovers and world travelers who are wanting to spread our love, and expertise of traveling and adventuring. Check out a little more info below!

Have you been to a Nordic Spa? Ever wanted to see the Lion 🦁 King in real life? Well, you can when you visit the Masai mara reserve in Kenya Africa! 🐅🦒🐘🦛🐆🐒 Save this for your next visit! Laramie, WY is just a little over an hour away from where we live in Northern Colorado or about 2 hours from Denver and is a great hidden gem with no traffic! This is your sign, to drive the Icefields Parkway in winter! Winter weekends for the win 🙌🏼 Frozen waterfalls, canyon walls, and that quiet you only get in the mountains—winter is pure magic. 🪄 ❄️ The snow is still here for those that are looking for winter activities! This was from this past weekend so those pow days can still be found!! ❄️ Winter adventures are some of the best! But being out in the cold can make you chilly 🥶 so what is your favorite way to warm up after a day in the cold? Life in the Masai Mara in Kenya, Africa!

Thanks for being here! We are Chris and Mikayla, certified explorers and enjoyers of life! Here is a little about us, ourselves as individuals and the hope for this site.

We bonded over a love of the outdoors. Hiking snow covered mountains and riding snowmobiles for some of our first dates. We find a peace and inner growth that occurs from being a part of nature as well as exploring the world and challenging our impressions of the world. From hiking and backpacking to riding snowmobiles through picturesque landscapes. We love traveling to places near and far to try new things, meet new people, and see landscapes that change the way you view the world and the power of nature and the earth. Getting to see different ways of living life to the fullest and experiencing happiness in all its forms has been so fulfilling.


Our intention is to help share the tools that we have discovered along the way that help to make both possible. To balance having a professional career and home life with the ability to grasp onto the opportunities that life has to offer, and live a life in the moment full of adventure and wonder.

My name is Chris and I wanted to take a moment and introduce my self to those of you reading and give you some background on myself. To many I am a bit of an oddity, a strange mix of opposing personalities. I am part workaholic, routinely putting in twelve hour plus days on site as a contractor and then doing paperwork and the office side of the business in my evenings and nights. I have been known to take too little time off and if not for my loving wife, Mikayla, I would certainly find myself on job sites many more weekends through out the year.

But, I am also an adventurer and explorer. Seeking out new experiences as much as possible, taking time away from work to explore new places, and push my physical limits. Mikayla also works a full time career in marketing and we are regularly asked how we manage to do it all… with so many hobbies and traveling the world, all while staying on top of the day to day.

We aim to help take the guesswork out of planning and adventuring while still honoring daily obligations. We want to share the strategies that we use to plan travel both locally and internationally and how to maximize your budget while still making memories. This includes tips for taking advantage of credit card perks from airline miles and status tiers to sign up bonuses and special offers. We will also give insight on topics like packing for day trips, picking trails or destinations, and all the less fun logistical leg work that has to happen to be able to get out and explore.

We hope to share stories of experiences and practical advice on hobbies, gear lists for high mileage day hikes and much more on this inside view. We hope to also be able to directly help you get started on your path to adventure!
