About Us

Hi! We are Niall and Orlaith, an Irish couple who love exploring, travelling spending time in nature and documenting our adventures. 

We moved to British Columbia, Canada in the summer of 2022 and fell in love with the Pacific Northwest. When we aren’t in our 9-5 jobs you will find us in the mountains (hiking or skiing), road tripping or on our next flight. 

We created this space to document our adventures and share practical tips, itineraries, and inspiration to help you explore more — without needing to quit your day job. If you would like to see what we are up to now, check out our TikTok and Instagram!

Our Highlights

A collection of our favourite moments from the trails, road trips, and quiet mornings in the mountains. Each photo comes with a story — whether it’s a hidden campsite, a spontaneous detour, or a sunrise we’ll never forget. We hope they inspire your own adventures!
