We have been traveling since 2016. The style of traveling that we enjoy the most is backpacking in places off the beaten path with our dog Merci. When traveling, we stay in our destinations for months at a time. This allows us the time to get to know the landscape, culture, and cuisine of a certain region. 

This takes a long time to create a list of destinations but we have extensive knowledge of the places we have been. Traveling like this is also easier for Merci.  She can spend more time in our destinations instead of on planes and trains. Everywhere we go, she goes.
