The Trailhead

Our maiden post! We love adventure travel (although we're new to it..5 years and counting) and have had our fair share of experiences with trips, guides and equipment. Alot of "wish I had known that" type of things along the way..maybe you have some of those too?

In the end we are intending this not to be so much a technical, by the book "how to" site. What is lacking on alot of travel sites and in many of the books out there is personal insight. Getting the "inside scoop" on places we've been has been the key to getting the most of of your time there. Getting off the beaten path (safely!!) is the way to go home satisfied that you EXPERIENCED your time in another land. Sometimes the experience was not at all what we planned (see our soon to be completed post on Peru!) but satisfying nonetheless. We are not journalists, writers or even experienced "bloggers". We're two people who like sharing our travel experiences with others.

Being an active part of the adventure instead of a spectator, for us, is the ultimate vacation...
