CONTRIBUTORS

We’re just a small group of people who love the outdoors. Exploring little-known corners of the world makes us profoundly happy. Most of us have day-jobs, so unfortunately we can’t spend all our time outside. The next best thing is writing and talking about it. That’s where this site comes in.
