This is where Katie and I share the places we go, the trails we hike, the coffee we find, and the experiences that make a trip worth remembering.

Katie introduced me to hiking when we first started dating. I’ve always loved being outdoors and had a passion for landscape photography, so hiking and exploring new places felt like a natural progression. Over time, those things came together and became something we genuinely love doing together.

Our favorite trips usually start early. We like being on the trail in the morning, exploring national parks and places we’ve never been, then slowing things down in the evening with good food and time to relax. And pretty much everywhere we go, we try to find a local coffee shop along the way.

We each have our own role when it comes to making a trip happen. I’m usually the early riser, making breakfast, packing our lunches, getting the gear ready, and making sure we’re out the door. I handle most of the photography and editing, while Katie does most of our video and all of the behind-the-scenes planning. She’s the one researching trails, building our day-to-day itineraries, finding places to stay, and figuring out what we should see and do.

We’re both health- and fitness-minded, so being active is a big part of the way we travel. But we also believe a good day outside should end with a great meal and a comfortable place to unwind.

We hope Coffee Along the Way inspires you to go somewhere. Take the trip. Find a trail. Sit down for a coffee.



Find great places & do good things.
