Loves: Dragging Jonny on hikes + Tacos

Hates: Tomato sauce + Putting away her laundry

​

Having grown up in Canada by two adventure-driven parents, Alana has always felt at home in the outdoors. She runs a remote marketing company, and has a face that often gets her stopped for directions and advice, even in towns she doesn't live in, As the head chef. road-trip DJ and Google Maps pin champion, she is always sniffing out the best destination, hiking trails and cocktail bars. With way too much camera gear for one person, she loves tea and may be the only person left who physically writes in a travel journal.

​

Alana's Party Trick: 

Having the strange ability to always be followed by hummingbirds. She's convinced they are her spirit animal - never having the ability to slow down or sit still.

No stranger to traveling, Jonny was born in England, raised in France and Australia. He is now a proud Canadian citizen who is learning to love maple syrup and peameal bacon. Mechanic by trade, he is always ensuring our daily life necessities are in working order, while being the much-needed voice of reason and safety, Jonny is always capable of telling us how long our hikes are, even when we didn't ask, and would likely prefer to be by the van with a margarita in hand!

Jonny's Party Trick: 

He's the jack of all trades. Give him a paperclip, some duct tape ( & your hopes and dreams) and he'll be able to fix nearly any problem you have.

Quinn

​

Quinn suffers from multiple Husky-personality disorder, He will quite happily laze around all day, or he'll run around exploring and hiking with you from sun-up to sun-down. Rescued from a high-kill shelter in Los Angeles, he is no stranger to living on the road - having joined us on our previous six-month road trip in the U.S. and Mexico. When he's not channeling his inner sun-loving lizard, he enjoys performing the 'bone dance' and singing along with fire trucks.

Hank can be selective who he shares his loving, snuggly and playful self with. Don't be offended if he runs up to you wagging his tail to sniff you only to dodge your loving pets. He is his moms shadow, Quinn's partner in crime, and sleeps with one eye open to keep us all safe.
