Our Story
We love human-powered multi-sport adventures in far-flung places. In order to create our trips, we have read through hundreds of pages of travel journals, blogs, and trip reports, made phone calls to friends abroad, picked partner’s brains on belay ledges, eddies, and singletracks, and just generally dreamed big. Then we threw caution to the wind, and went out to do them. Sometimes we succeeded, sometimes we failed, but have always paddled, biked or climbed away as stronger, and deeper people. As we traveled the world and met other traveling athletes, we have realized that our passion for human-powered multi-sport adventures was not just some strange personality trait. So, we decided to create an online guidebook of our experiences and invite other athletes to do the same, in order to create an inspiring and accessible guide to adventures that you can’t find in a guidebook.
