Vicki

A school teacher who always dreamed of teaching in a foreign country, thinking it was her only way to see the world. All she knew about travel was Asian bus tours, road trips, many a time to Disney World and the ONE time she tried to “backpack” which included the biggest suitcase ever. Travel was enjoyable but not a passion. It all changed in Paris. Travel became a true adventure and challenge, filled with new experiences, people, and perspectives. She doesn’t love being infront of the camera but she sure loves being there in the moment. Let’s go!

Mike’s a Toronto based food photographer formally trained in graphic design – weird right?! When he was young, he perused through maps and atlases figuring out where places were, brushing up on his geography skills. His first big month-long European backpacking trip in 2010 kickstarted his never ending wanderlust into high gear. Constantly planning the where, what time and when, he’s always reminded of one thing: Let go.

For those that may not know, I had proposed to her using a viewmaster (similar to the image on the left) which we “found” by geocaching (online community treasure hunt in short.. learn more about it at geocaching.com) while camping in Kirkjufellfoss. The reel was filled with images of places and things we’ve been to but she didn’t have any idea what she was looking at. At the very end of the reel, an image of a person holding a ring appears with the words “will you marry me?” she thought it was cute that someone proposed that way but didn’t click that it was me. She puts it down to discover that I was on one knee with the ring box in my hand.

She said yes.
