We came for the hike and stayed for the bears. Just kidding we scrammed as soon as we heard there was a sighting up ahead. In all seriousness, our hike in Ramapo Valley County Reservation in the midst of fall was a breathtaking representation of nature’s stillness and...
Ok, so we didn't actually pick apples in New York City, but it was a catchy title that I couldn't pass up, much like our apple picking excursion in UPSTATE NEW YORK.
The hike was beautiful. Boiling cauldrons of mud along the way were only overshadowed by steaming vats of water both off in the distance and just near the trail.

If we knew one thing when we started researching Tenerife, it was that we HAD to climb Tenerife’s volcano Teide. Alex was the one to first tap into a love of hiking when she was studying abroad in Japan in 2010. She clim...
Beach exploring in Tenerife. We didn’t bring bathing suits to Ireland - shocker. And we didn’t think far ahead enough to pack them for our jaunt to Tenerife...
