We both did not grow up traveling much outside of Disney World and Dollywood (yes, if you didn’t know, Dolly Parton owns a theme park in Tennessee, and it’s really quite magnificent. When I (Olivia) began my first job, I realized that I had money- what a concept. I had always wanted to travel, so I asked Erica if she would join me on an adventure to the American Southwest. We were amateurs at that point and had never camped in our lives. Because of this, I booked motels for the trip, and we made it to the Grand Canyon, Zion National Park, Antelope Canyon, and Bryce Canyon. We learned a lot during our first time through trial and error, but our biggest takeaway was that this would not a one-off thing. We decided that travel would be a part of our friendship from then on.
