But more often than not, you're going to hear from me - Alana.

I write the way I talk, and talk the way I think; honest, and often highlighting the humorous things in life. My big, happy, rescue (the dogs, not my husband) family and I are on a year-long road trip across Europe. 

We built out a custom 4x4 van, (his name is Wylie) in our hometown of Squamish, B.C. Drove him across Canada to Halifax, then shipped him across to Antwerp, Belgium. Two weeks later, the rest of us boarded a plane for Europe to meet him. We have no set destination other than hiking and exploring the hidden gems of Europe for a year - all while embracing our inner van-life sense of adventure. 

​

I may be the ring leader, but Jonny is the brains behind the operation.

However, together, our friends know us as a couple that is always up for an adventure. We rarely say no and are always on the go. We strongly believe in quality vs. quantity in life. This isn't the first (and likely won't be the last) time we have left the comfort of our home to hit the road. Previously, we spent six months traveling through the U.S. and Mexico in a built-out custom 4Runner with our dog, Quinn. 

​

This time for our year-long overland adventure, we have converted a van that has more room to accommodate our extra dog (Hank).
