HI, WE’RE THE TURAS GIRLS.

We’re Stef and Tiff (and Riley)—adventure partners, obsessive trip planners, trail seekers, food lovers, and firm believers that some of the best ways to experience God’s creation are with hiking shoes on our feet, curiosity in our hearts, and enough flexibility to see where the day takes us.

We believe the mountains, oceans, forests, deserts, cities, cultures, and people we encounter along the way are gifts worth noticing. Travel gives us the chance to immerse ourselves in God’s creation, experience it up close, and feel grateful for just how extraordinary this earth really is.

We like our travel active, our food local, and our plans just flexible enough for something unexpected to happen.

We hike. We bike. We paddle. We run. We camp. We wander cities. We take road trips that often acquire several additional stops before we reach the destination.

And when the adventure is over? There’s probably a beer, a great meal, or a bottle of bubbles involved.

HOW TURAS GIRLS BEGAN

We’ve backpacked mountains, cycled long roads, wandered European cities, traveled through Africa and South America, chased winter north of the Arctic Circle, slept under the stars, paddled through fjords, run races, explored new cultures, and taken more than a few roads simply because we wondered where they went.

And some of our favorite memories come from the people we’ve met along the way. A little kindness, a shared recommendation, or a warm welcome has often made a trip even more memorable.

Turas Girls started as a place to remember those journeys. Over time, it became something more. Now we want this to be a place where we can share not just what happened, but what we learned along the way:

The hike we would absolutely do again.

The restaurant worth walking across town for.

The campground we loved.

The route we’d change next time.

The adventure that looked intimidating until we tried it.

And the places that made us start planning our return before we had even left.

AND THEN THERE’S RILEY.

Our adventure team wouldn’t be complete without a four-legged member.

Riley has been part hiking partner, swimming enthusiast, road-trip companion, campsite supervisor, and enthusiastic supporter of anything involving snacks.

When Riley can come along, even better.

And when we discover a great dog-friendly trail, campground, swimming hole, patio, or road-trip stop, you can expect us to take note.
