👋🏼 About us
Hi y’all! We’re Adam, Kathryn, and Kona, an adventurous married couple (+ pup!) living on the road in our self-converted sprinter van! You can often find us driving all around the US and Canada, scoping out the best coffee shops, eating tacos and ice cream (we're a 5+ taco and 2+ scoop household), and enjoying nature.
We help travelers spend less time (and stress!) planning their trip and more time enjoying it! Our detailed travel guides, KZbin videos, and travel resources share the must-visit local eats, popular and off the beaten path sights, and tons of tips to make planning your next adventure a whole lot easier.
Note: We’ve linked a handful of items so you can see exactly which products we take with us. Full disclosure--if you click on these links and make a purchase, we get a small commission at no extra cost to you. We will only ever recommend products we truly love, actually use during our adventures, and think you can benefit from too!

You are inspiring a generation to get outside as you educate us on the fantastic locations in the US to explore and experience. I'll keep watching (and following) your videos if you keep making them. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Don't forget to keep reminding us of the best way to support you in these experiences.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thanks Doug! The best way to support is to just watch, comment, and thumbs up! It helps us a ton!

[@jeannespiess7499]

Great video! We live about 100 miles south of Duluth, so were excited to hear you pick the North Shore in a few categories. We LOVE it 'up' there and your video reminds us not to take it for granted. We have really enjoyed watching your adventures this year. Keep up the good work!

That was awesome! So, so fun to recap the year. I totally feel like I've been right there with you the whole time and it was cool to see a little Minnesota representation! Adam, I couldn't agree more about the tacos!!! I've literally been raving about those for over a decade now and to know they brought you so much joy as well just brings a smile to my face. It's been awesome following your journey this full year and it's hard to believe 2022 is around the corner. I hope you have a super relaxing holidays and recharge and relax as much as possible. Cheers to an amazing year!!!

It must have been so hard to pick your favs! You have truly shown what an amazingly gorgeous and diverse country we live in! I have enjoyed your journeys so much from this side of the screen. Oh, but I think I missed Kona's top picks....I bet she had some favorite hikes; I'm sure her least favorite was the one with the ladders (I think) where Adam had to carry her. Have a very merry Christmas, guys! Looking forward to all the 2022 adventures!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

It was tough! I spent weeks going back and forth haha! Kona says that her favorite was Mount Elbert, but definitely agree her least was the one with the ladders haha

[@bilahn1198]

So excited to see all the thumbs up for Minnesota! There may be more spectacular places but there's something about it, isn’t there? And there are so many other places to visit including the Boundary Waters. I've really enjoyed traveling with you two. Great job very well done! --Paul from Minneapolis

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Definitely something special about it! We really loved it there and will be back to canoe the BWCA Wilderness!

You guys killed it this year! Loved watching (almost) every adventure. Thank you for sharing with us. Can't wait to see what's in store for 2022! Happy Holidays ❤️

Love this recap. And love your guides. Your South Dakota guide for Badlands + Black Hills added so much to our travels there this year and I’ve passed it along to friends a number of times too. I’d love to see a guide detailing your fall foliage northeast itinerary (or a suggested itinerary). Happy holidays!

We are finally getting caught up on guides and just have New England ones left, so stay tuned! We are glad that you enjoy them, we really love writing them! Thanks a bunch for sharing them too ❤️

Love the channel! It reminds me so much of my wife and I's trips. We found ourselves this past year in Wyoming, South Dekota, North Carolina, Tennessee, Michigan, and Colorado. Fun to relive some of the adventure through your videos. Keep up the good work! Our goal this next year is to visit the Sawtooth Mountains!

Thank you so much for watching! We ❤️the Sawtooths!

Very nice. So much fun to watch your recap. I totally agree with the Kiva Coffeehouse and the Valley of the gods. The vistas are out of this world. I still have to catch up with the New England videos. That'll be my X-Mas present ;-) Thx for taking us with you. Safe travels, happy X-Mas and of course a happy new year with more awesome time on the road

Utah is wild, it's like another world! We hope you have a great holiday!

Thanks Susan! Happy holidays to you!

I used a BUNCH of info from your CO & Western UT videos to plan my trip. Thanks so much!! It was great watching this video to hear what your favorites were, and to reminisce about my trip. I agree with you about the mountains vs desert. I LOVE the mountains too and I miss them!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

The mountains are the best! We miss them so much while being home and can't wait to get back to them soon-ish!

We love watching two young people have fun in life. We are a more “mature” 😁 couple also still having fun in life and loving full time life on the road. Merry Christmas!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

That is awesome, we are so glad you enjoy life on the road!

You've gotten me through many workdays with your amazing content! Some of your past videos inspired a few trips (Montana & Idaho) I hope to get to the Wind River Range & San Juan now too! I hope you guys have a wonderful holiday! I can't wait to see what's next! ✌

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Woo! Those are some of our favorite places ever!

I enjoyed this year traveling with the 3 of you. Such a big and diverse country we live in. Making the choices would be difficult. So many good places and food items to pick from. Laughed all the way through the blooper reel. Enjoy your downtime., will be looking forward to spending time with you in the new year!! 👍👍🎅🙋‍♂️

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you for traveling with us this year! It was TOUGH to decide, we were so thankful to visit so many places that made it hard to choose.

[@BlazingBursons]
