Melissia and Alex here – thanks for stopping by! Allow us to share a bit about us with you.
We absolutely LOVE spending time outside and head into the wilderness as often as possible. Camping, hiking, fishing, snowshoeing, panning for gemstones, and soaking in hot springs are some of our favorite pastimes. Our fur kids are our constant companions on all of our adventures.
Our mission is to share the love of the outdoors with others. Not only do we want to inspire you to get out in nature, we want to help get you there and enjoy yourself while you’re doing it! We provide inspiration and education through our blog and social channels.
Melissia has lived in Idaho for 29 years and grew up traveling around the country with her family – mostly throughout the western U.S. While she didn’t grow up camping or hiking, she grew to love both of those activities in her adult life. Connecting with nature allowed her to connect with herself and discover who she was as a person. She enjoys traveling, exploring, and spending time with her family, friends, and pups. She is the family photographer and you can always spot her snapping photos throughout the day.
Alex came to Idaho 8 years ago from the East coast. He discovered the western U.S. during his hockey playing days. He resolved to move to one of the western states to enjoy the open spaces and all that the outdoors has to offer. He was fortunate enough to connect with native Idahoans who introduced him to many remote and not so remote locations throughout the state. He is a chef by trade and enjoys pairing his love of food with his love of nature by cooking locally sourced meals both at home and while camping.
Being in nature allows you to disconnect from life’s daily distractions, gain clarity and perspective, and connect with the beautiful world around you. Come along with us!
