This journal is perfect because it lets us do everything in one place—from trip planning to reflecting. Great for do-it-yourself adventure travellers like us!"

MEET THE FOUNDERS

Hey fellow travellers! We're Stephanie & Jimmy McKnight—high school sweethearts and endless adventurers. Together we have travelled to several places and countries, but it's not the number that matters to us; it's the meaningful experiences that have shaped who we are ... how we interact with others, how much we respect nature, what we choose to fill our life with, house with, and bellies with (think noodles, curries, fruits ... mmm!). 

And so we have created a journal for these meaningful experiences—so that we can plan, learn, and reflect. We imagine others sitting down with the journal on a Friday night, accompanied by a good record and cold beverage, learning and planning for their next trip (because this is what we do for fun) ... and then 50 years later (or one, let's be honest) looking back and reminiscing about good/warm/fuzzy times.
