About

Our story of travel and adventure

We started with a bucket list of places we’d like to visit. There was no plan on how we’d do it. Just a list of places. Gradually, the trips started taking shape along a general theme of the two of us on the road, and usually involving hiking, which we had already gotten into via the Appalachian Mountains running through our home state of Virginia (it was an inexpensive hobby).

The road trips started in your basic economy rental, moved on to SUV’s for the occasional unimproved roads and then graduated to Camper Vans.

The other theme is – we’re amateurs. We don’t live full time on the road. This is our hobby, and we’ve made good use of other people’s travel blogs to help fill in our gaps in knowledge and inform our plans and goals. So, aside from enjoying having a record of our adventures in one place, this blog is our way of ‘giving back’, in hopes it might serve as a reference or jumping off point for other would be travelers.

What’s with the “Odd Couple “? It refers to our VERY different personalities. We are complete opposites, sometimes in complimentary ways, other times it can be infuriating. We spend a significant amount of time with each other, in some challenging situations. We want to bring honesty and some humor along this journey!
