Call us crazy, but we've always thought work should be fun! So early on we combined the things we love doing together--writing, hiking, paddling and photography. Fifteen years later, we have eight books, hundreds of travel articles, several travel websites and blogs.

Perhaps most rewarding, our work as kayak guides enables us to share our favorite places with our readers in person. Each winter we lead small group Florida Keys kayak expeditions from the pages of our Florida Keys Paddling Atlas. In the summer we run a kayak shop on Virginia's Eastern Shore.

In between we may be hiking in Virginia or cruising the world, but you can always find us on Facebook! Check in and say hello!
