About us

Hi there! We’re Andrew, a Canadian who loves being in the mountains, and Viki, a Brit who prefers being by the sea. After escaping from London at every opportunity for the last couple of months, we’ve finally decided to take the plunge and go on a bigger adventure!

First up we had a month-long cycle tour down the west coast of Norway which you can check out here. We then headed across the Atlantic to Canada to buy a van, which we drove down to and around Central America. You can see what we got up to here.

We’d love it if you followed along with us for the journey 🙂
