ANAYANCY - We love to get away anywhere on the coast– We’ll book a hotel near the beach and just drive… Our latest adventure was up in Cambria, CA!
Lis - I really want to see big sur!
Becca - Oh man, so many places I want to go – but mostly I really want to go to Bora Bora or Tahiti . . . when we want adventure at an affordable price however, we usually go camping or something.
megan - for little day-to-day adventures we either head to the coast at sunset or find a place with a good view of The City {aka San Francisco}… but we’re big adventurers too! we’ve backpacked in patagonia, made our way through guatemala and belize and are planning our next big adventure to iceland. our next little adventure will be a couple nights in morro bay, ca for a belated celebration of our 3rd wedding anniversary {and 10 years total together}!

emma a - I’d love to travel to europe and visit all of the major landmarks!
Holly - Someplace I would love to travel and see would be the Redwoods in California. Those tree giants have always seemed magical to me, and I can’t wait to one day road trip to them.

monique - I would love to go camping with my little family in the smokey mountains. We just moved to North Carolina a year ago, and the thought of a fire with s’mores just warms my heart, even better if we could see a deer or two 🙂 The map has been pinned and favored 🙂 xo
Maggie Broderick - I favorited the map! I am loving it. My username is Maggie Broderick on etsy.
Maggi - I love to go to NYC during the fall or right before Christmas if I want an adventure that feels very season appropriate. Otherwise, I love going to Pasadena to visit my brother for family/relaxation time.
Raquel - Pinned and favorited! Sadly we aren’t able to get away for many adventurers, but If we could we’d love to actually get away for our honeymoon we never had. Somewhere tropical I’m sure. 🙂
Brie - When we lived in Chilliwack, I loved heading down the Oregon Coast – so many quaint sea-side towns and amazing little stores to peruse. Now, we are back in Alberta and don’t get away nearly as much as we used to. But I bought a book recently, entitled Country Roads of Alberta: Exploring the Routes Less Travelled, so now our goal is to become “tourists” of Alberta and explore all the areas that I only faintly remember from my childhood, plus many more 🙂
Brie - Map added to etsy favourites! 🙂
Krysta - 1. India, Italy or Mexico. All offer plenty-o-adventure but totally different ends of the spectrum.
