We are a family of four—a team of adventurers made up of two proud parents and our two energetic, curious, school-age daughters. Together, we set out to learn and explore some of our favorite towns, uncover hidden gems, and create unforgettable memories.
Our mission is simple: to inspire families like ours to step outside, embrace the outdoors, and see through fresh eyes. From local markets and serene parks to quirky cafes and historical landmarks, every location has a story waiting to be discovered—and we love telling those stories through our experiences.
As parents, we aim to balance adventure with family-friendly fun, always learning, and ensuring that our treks are as enriching for our kids as they are for us. Whether it’s exploring iconic destinations, discovering unique local spots, or sharing tips for navigating life with children, we’re here to spark ideas and encourage your own adventures.
We started this venture back in 2013 when the wife was pregnant with our first. We had some great feedback, interest and traction and even garnered recognition from the local chamber of commerce. Then family circumstances caused us to put it on the back burner. And, like everywhere, 2020 gave it some hits too. Now that the kiddos are bigger, though it’s been a 10-year hiatus, we’re thrilled to announce that Trek the City is making a comeback! We’re currently hard at work rebuilding our website from the ground up, infusing it with new energy, features, and content. Look out for our relaunch in the spring of 2025, where we will return with an updated, exciting trek through Charlotte, North Carolina, and launch a brand new trek for Rock Hill, South Carolina. Get ready to explore these vibrant cities like never before with us!
Thank you for joining us on this journey. We hope Trek The City becomes your go-to source for inspiration, advice, and family-focused exploration. We may even throw in some homeschool ideas as that’s how our family does life these days. Let’s trek together!
