hey there

I'm Alyssa

HIKER, MOTHER, WIFE, ESTHETICIAN, FRIEND

I believe you must bring your whole self to the table if you want to thrive in today's crazy world; your sense of humour; your personality, and most importantly, your heart, all of these elements brought me to this page. 

​

I work as an Esthetician when I'm not frolicking in the woods. I am a mother to a beautiful son and married to my best friend, Cody. Together we have two beautiful kids. We are a family who loves anything outdoors and we try to get out as much as we can.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME

Being that I've always lived on Vancouver Island, I love my home and where I live. I've always felt incredibly lucky that this is my backyard. It wasn't until the year 2015 that I started hiking. I had recently got out of a relationship and decided I needed to start an interest that was for me. I remember getting an overnight backpack for a gift and sold it. Thinking I was never going to use it, well here we are. It's 2024 and my hiking as now turned into getting into mountaineering. I have grown over the years as a micro-influencer on Instagram, I met a-lot of my current friends from there, had alot of cool opportunities and now I've created this blog. I love to share my adventures and later on will love to read and watch every where that I went, like a passage in time. Whatever chance I get, I'm usually outside on my days off.  I enjoy taking my son out on the trails and seeing life through his eyes.  I have a twin sister which is where this name of site originated from. (@adventurewiththetwins) We are very close and always have been. I'm not planning on putting any roots down anytime soon, I'm always hungry for the next best adventure and I can't wait to share where that leads me. I'm excited to share my journey with you and educate you as much as I can about Leave No Trace principles, hiking etiquette and more. This is truly my passion and it means everything to me. I'm so happy you have found my page, and glad to connect with you soon.

 

See you on the trails!
