We hope that you all know how much we love hiking by now and seriously have found so much joy in sharing our adventures with you!

So for fun, we created a list of random facts about us so you can see we are not only just a couple of crazy hikers!

To start, we have been married for 16 years and met 18 years ago in the mosh pit at a Social Distortion concert. We were a couple of surfers living at the beach and it was love at first sight! Since then, we have had so many adventures and now live in a small rural town in North San Diego with our dog, Phurba, and have a horse named Jake. If we are not hiking or backpacking, you can find us watching live music, hanging with friends, or at the beach. We both follow a plant-based diet and try to be the best version of ourselves everyday.

​Jaime:

  1. Wanted to be a veterinarian when growing up but is way too sensitive to be able to put an animal down and took another path instead.
  2. Seriously loves pickles.
  3. Finds shoveling horse, cow, goat, and pig poo when volunteering at Sale Ranch Animal Sanctuary to be a special kind of mediation.
  4. Self proclaimed wine snob and has carried up to three bottles of wine (in a platypus) backpacking.
  5. Obsessed with old cemeteries and mines, especially if haunted.
  6. Took four years of German in high school and used to be able to speak it and still dreams in German sometimes.
  7. Traced her family tree and found she has Viking ancestors including a man named Ivor the Terrible Freckled One. She also has lots of freckles in her armpits 🤷‍♀️
  8. Loves going to weddings and always cries during the ceremony.
  9. Is an introvert- small talk is not her thing. But if you want to talk about the universe under a full moon, that’s what sets her soul on fire.
  10. Loves Beatnik Poetry and had her first poem published when she was in her early 20's.

​Tony

  2. Is always the first one on the dance floor.

  4. Had an 9” mohawk and played lead guitar in a punk band for many years.
  5. Is the “community organizer” and brings people together.
  6. Has a soft spot for the underdog, whether it’s a person or animal.
  7. Sucker for mountain peaks and pine trees.
  8. Timed his High Sierra Trail trek so he could summit Mt. Whitney on the 4th of July.
  9. His happy place is barefoot and meditating under an oak tree or in front of a good band.
  10. He is always striving to be more spiritually conscious and aware.
