The best journeys in life are those that answer questions you never thought to ask
We are Radd and Vida – Adventurers, Trailblazers, and Naturalists and our favorite extreme sport is avoiding big crowds.
We always answer the call of the wild to both wander and wonder. We always like to escape the ordinary and go to places we feel alive. And we always document our fun.
Our photography has been highlighted on state travel sites of Montana, Idaho, and Oregon. We’ve also been featured on outdoor recreation services such as All Trails, All Women Outdoors, That Idaho Life, and Australia’s outdoors company, Off Track. We each have a black belt that has nothing to do with martial arts or what we are reading.
But enough about us. How are you? Why are you here? If robbing banks isn’t fun enough anymore, let us cure your boredom and bring you fresh mountain vibes and deliver the thrill of exploring new places.
