It's surfaced: meet our latest project, 'Trek Hispaniola'

It's Friday October 2nd and it's an especially cold day outside as Fall knocks on our door in Ottawa, ON. Naturally, we've lit candles and are cuddled up in bed watching GoPro videos from our most recent trip to Dominican Republic (D.R.).

Ahhh, our paradise.

Playa El Valle, Samana, Dominican Republic


I've known that I've wanted to move to D.R. since I was 16, 7 whole years ago, when I was just a babe and made my first trek there in 2009. This country has enthralled me ever since, for reasons far beyond its international all-inclusive resort reputation. Yes, the food and booze and people and beaches are beautiful. But if you haven't stepped foot off of your resort, you have so much left to discover. Leave the desire for 'luxury' at the door and you will find an island so rich in experience you will dream of never having to leave. You will find views and beaches and people that will enrich your life more than any stay at a resort would. Explore!

As for Kate, after our first trip together to D.R. in April 2015, she was absolutely sold.

Put us together, mix in a few hurdles to overcome (like financing our move and obtaining residency and figuring out how to travel with a dog, and, and, and...)

and you've got us trading in Canada for one hell of an adventure; we’re opening a Backpackers Hostel in Dominican Republic.

And yes, you can absolutely book a stay with us (we'll let you know when).

We're working hard on our website & blog to bring you something that we can keep connected on, and to share the things we wish we knew when first travelling Hispaniola. We hope that this website will one day turn into a great resource for anyone backpacking Hispaniola, and especially those staying with us.

Our journey begins now from our one bedroom apartment in Ottawa. Dreaming, planning, saving, overcoming hurdles together.

 

If this sounds neat to you and you'd like to stay in the loop, follow us on Instagram at @trekhispaniola, and bookmark our website: www.trekhispaniola.com. You can also 'like' us on facebook.

We’ve got 15 months in Canada and counting until we open Trek Hispaniola. Or less, you know Kate...

Love,
Miranda, Kate & Eddie
