With just over a full year of rooted under our belt, we thought now would be a great time to have a look back at all of the people we’ve met and the things we’ve done for a proper, thoughtful, gratitude-fueled tribute.
With each experience being so unique and every person having something amazing to share, it’s difficult to select a handful, but we’ve plucked a few out of our pocket to put on display. We hope you have enjoyed this past year plus as much as we have! We look forward to meeting more of you in our adventures to come.
