https://www.twowanderingsoles.com/pnw-map We are backpack-wearing, camera-toting, coffee-loving travelers who are passionate about showing others how they can travel responsibly & adventurously on any bud

get -- big or small. Shortly after getting married, we quit our comfortable jobs, booked an absurdly cheap flight to Colombia, and left behind everything that didn’t fit into our backpacks.

-- UN Responsible Travel Winner --

Our wanderings have since taken us to South Korea where we taught English for a year. In our other travels, we have backpacked in SE Asia and Eastern Europe, became temporary ski bums in Washington state, and road tripped in a converted campervan through the Western US.

Can you relate?

This is your reminder that 👇🏼

a) getting out the door is usually the hardest part
b) it doesn’t have to be a “big adventure” to count
c) when you see people post outdoor adventures with kids, you usually aren’t seeing the whole picture (the messy house, the things that go wrong, the struggles getting out the door)
d) it does get easier 🫶🏼 promise

Comment “SUNSHINE” if you want me to send you my best tips for hiking with littles! (Be sure you’re following first so the DM goes through!)

🥰 follow for more (realistic) outdoor adventures with kids!

📩 share with a mama who needs this reminder before the start of the summer season!
