About Us

I’m Hannah, and this is my boyfriend Brian. 

Hannah's first mountain bike ride, summer 2012

We are both from Pennsylvania:  Brian from Macungie (in Lehigh County) and myself from Williamsport (Lycoming County).  We met while working in a mom and pop type restaurant in the middle of nowhere, but that is a story for another day and time. 

Our present location is Jackson, Wyoming – the most beautiful place there is!  

Grand Teton National Park, Fall 2012

We moved here in May and have had a fantastic summer enjoying our backyard:  Grand Teton National Park, but that’s about to change!  Due to Brian’s constant desire to eat tacos and refried beans and our shared feeling of wanting to travel before becoming bogged down with “real world” responsibilities, we are two months out from our latest and greatest scheme: a 5 month bicycle tour beginning in Cancun Mexico, hitting Belize and Guatamala before re-entering Mexico and heading home by bike – and we couldn’t be more excited about it!

Brian works on the golf course at Teton Pines Country Club.  He has the most awesome commute by bike to work every day.  Don’t you think?

Did I mention that Jackson has awesome Mountain Bike Trails?  Brian spends a fair amount of time on them in the summer.  This summer, he was patient enough to teach me how to ride which I’m sure he would say brought a whole new meaning to the past time (due to my unstable physical and emotional state while on a mountain bike that is)!

Within the last year, Brian has gone back to school.  He is working toward a Bachelor’s degree in Turf Grass Management through Penn State’s online program.  I’m really proud of him, and his classes definitely keep him busy.  Stay tuned for school updates throughout the blog as Brian will be completing a semester on the road!

Brian has rode the Southern Tier Route Cross Country (solo), the Pacific Coast (with me!), and a 5 week tour of the coast and Andes in Peru (with two friends from home).  

As the bike freak of our relationship, Brian would be offended if I didn’t introduce his children as well:

Fall Creek Road, Salsa Casseroll singlespeed, Summer 2011

Lock Haven, PA gravel awesomeness, Jamis Coda frame Fall 2011

I never, ever thought I would have to do this, but let me introduce my children as well.  Mind you, I have acquired all of these children within the last six months…

This summer I worked in reservations at a rafting company, but currently am completing an internship at the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce.  This internship will complete my bachelor’s degree in Recreation Management from Lock Haven University – and then I am free!

Recently, Brian and I moved to a smaller apartment to save money for our trip.  We are currently adjusting to having roommates again and I am coming up with creative solutions to the lack of cooking utensils that we left behind in our comfortable furnished apartment.

Since pictures always say it so much better let us leave you with a formal introduction to our weird selves (as cats):
