ABOUT US
Ashley and Nick are a pair of geologists who enjoy nothing more than aggressive tourism, a good brew, and a good view.
They met as undergraduate geology students at the University of Illinois on a field trip to the Mojave Desert, were engaged inside a dormant volcano in Iceland, and were married near the beaches of Costa Rica. Both having been inspired by hearing tales of traveling great aunts, they are always looking forward to the next adventure!
