Meet Jack

Whenever Jack lets himself get dragged into Jill’s plan, he almost never regrets the decision. But every now and then, he feels like staying behind to indulge in his other life’s passions: climbing and writing mad code.

Meet Jill

Jill is the voice behind this site and all of social media. She drinks lots of chocolate soy milk. She also likes rats and cats. She likes rice too – probably because she was born and raised in Indonesia. She likes to travel. Quite a bit. Sometimes she manages to convince Jack to come along. She sucks at writing about herself in third person.

We started the site sometime in 2010 to share stories about our travel. In 2011 we took a year off to travel (you know – the whole quit your job and travel the world thing). A lot of people have asked, “Where did you get the money from? We saved up. And instead of spending money on a wedding, we eloped. Our wedding ‘party’ consisted of Jack’s brother and Jill’s best friend.

Best. Decision. Ever.

We’re currently based in San Francisco. Jill is a freelance web designer and developer so whenever she has itchy feet, she tells her clients she’d be back in a bit (while being rather vague about the “a bit” part) and take off.

What we write about

We write about our passions: being outdoors. We hike, we climb, we ride things, we dive. We go on road trips.

On occasional bouts of temporary insanity, we do things like climbing the highest mountain in continental USA in one day, or backpacking the trail-less Denali with no idea of how to read a map, or getting naked in public. Assuming we survive these mishaps, we write about them.

Other things we sometimes write about: cats. Because what is Internet (and life) without cats?

We hope to encourage people to go out there to see more of this beautiful planet called Earth and its inhabitants. But if you can’t or don’t want to, we hope that you enjoy our photos and stories.

We don’t take ourselves seriously, neither should you.

On mountains climbing stuff

We like to climb things. Our favorite type is alpine: technically easy but long climb. We simply love being around mountains: climbing them, walking on them, taking pictures of them. Some of our mountain related posts:
