ABOUT
Hi! We’re Laura and Ryan — two outdoor enthusiasts who prefer fresh air and winding trails, even if we don’t always know what we’re doing. Our hiking gear is mismatched, our bikes are probably making noise and we love a good snack. Also joining us is Matilda, our tiny dachshund mix with big opinions and little patience for poor navigation.
