Throughout our many adventures around the globe, we have had the privilege of participating in some of the best hikes in the world. We’ve been lucky to have hiked, trekked, and visited 120 countries on all seven continents. Multi-day hikes can be life-changing and whenever we strap on a pair of hiking boots, we feel disconnected from the hustle and bustle of life and at one with Mother Nature.
