We’re Austin and Kait, an adventure-loving couple with full-time jobs, dedicated to exploring U.S. National Parks, hiking challenging trails, and discovering new, off-the-beaten-path destinations. Growing up in Michigan, we both spent our childhoods road-tripping with our families to national parks and forests, hiking, camping, and soaking up everything the outdoors has to offer. Our love for nature—especially the water being from the Great Lakes State—was ingrained in us early.

When we met, our shared passion for the great outdoors brought us even closer, and now we have a goal: visit all of the U.S. National Parks together! As DINKs (dual income, no kids), we know how to balance work with adventure and want to help you do the same. Through practical travel itineraries, insider tips, and relatable travel stories, we’re here to make your trips unforgettable.
