About Us

 

We are empty nesters with an incurable case of wanderlust. Paul is a mild-mannered engineering manager by day, and a freelance photographer to the core. Elaine is a nonfiction writer and was, until December 2010, the Day Tripper for The Indie (a publication of the Loudoun Times Mirror).  Her stories can now found in the Arts & Entertainment section of the Fairfax County Times.

Over 30 years ago we became husband and wife; but it was in 2010 that we finally married Paul’s photos to Elaine’s words while exploring our local environs. We quickly became addicted to tripping, and now we invite you to come along!

Weekly day trips reflect our many, varied and evolving interests and include history and hiking, city buzz and country comfort, local flavor and exotic influences, and anything else that makes us smile. We have a penchant for the unusual, so expect the unexpected. And we will offer family-friendly and multi-generational trips for when the folks are in town visiting.

So we are roaming the planet, starting close to home – for us that’s the Mid-Atlantic region – and we hope you will try a few of the trips that have given us so much pleasure.

Carpe weekend!

Elaine & Paul
