Hi! I’m Erica. I am a cat married to a fish. These are the animals my husband, John, and I would individually most seek out in nature, and they are also our spirit animals. My energy is directed to short spurts of physical activity followed by languorous stretches of reading and naps. John is in constant motion. I am pretty independent; John likes to be in a school of companions. I spend a disproportionate amount of time thinking about food; John is more or less content to eat what’s in front of him or subsist on a liquid diet. I prefer to be in wild spaces on dry land; John is called to the water.
How the two of us came together is one of life’s great mysteries, yet these differences have afforded us the opportunity to find an overlap in our travels and visit places we might not have discovered traveling on our own. Over the past dozen years, we have visited a number of destinations that have included a mixture of nature and wildlife, adventure, water activities, and the chance to spend time meeting other people. In every situation, I have been mindful of both the negative and positive impact of our travels, and I have strived to only select lodges and providers with an ethos of sustainability, conservation, and community building.
Perhaps you, too, are part of a couple or a family with a range of interests that lean towards the outdoors. Or maybe you’re an independent traveler who wants a variety of adventures. Either way, welcome! I hope this site inspires you to reach out.
