We are Jay and Nina! Born and raised in Southern California, we are a husband & wife who love all things travel and outdoor adventure. We spent our first year of marriage living in a self-converted van on a road trip around the United States. Now, we call Jackson Hole, Wyoming our home base as we spend our winters skiing and our summers exploring the world both locally and globally.
