Two explorers, three travel dogs, one fuzzy mascot
We met in September 2025 and quickly found out how much we have in common, especially a love of travel and adventure. From our home base in Cleveland, Tennessee, we’re out on the trails and lakes most weekends with Kami, Luka and Ladria, and setting our sights farther every trip.
Meet Womble
A Little Fuzz. A Lot of Wander.
We found Womble beside a trail sign, studying a map upside down.
“Are you lost?”
“Possibly. But I found a waterfall, so it’s going quite well.”
Now he’s our little travel companion—helping make plans, finding unexpected stops, and packing far too many snacks.
Next stop: Aspen.
