If we go, they go. That's our motto. We bring our dogs everywhere with us, whether across town or across an ocean. We provide tips for adventuring with dogs like hiking, biking, running, camping, backpacking! And share brutally honest stories from the road.

Hello! We are Jen and Dave, and we live for outdoor adventure, try to spend as many nights as possible in our tent, and won't say no to a good pint of beer.
No matter where we go, we bring along our two rescue pups, Sora and Laila. If they cannot come along with us, then we don't go. Plain and simple.
In 2015, we quit our office jobs to cycle tour across Europe and South America, towing Sora along for the ride and visiting 22 countries across the two continents over two years.
We hail from Portland, Oregon, but recently relocated to Granada, Spain to to take advantage of the Sierra Nevada mountains, a slower pace of life, and continue our Spanish language skills.
