This is an index of all our trip reports around the world. Of course, I will back fill my past trip reports in time, though I have a hard enough time keeping up with the new ones.

If there is a past trip report you’d like or a place you’d want us to report on within reason, I’ve set up a patreon that allows you to direct the time we spent out in the world and on this page.

trip report map

The google map below is an interactive map of our travels and walks around the world. The icons represent the activity that we enjoyed (e.g. the one person orange hiking icon represents a multi-day trek and the multiple people purple hiking icon represents day hikes). For the key, click on top left icon on the google map title bar.
