To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other and to feel. That is the purpose of life.
– Life Magazine motto –



We are Chris and Carina. We met in San Diego in 2005, and currently live in Santa Cruz. In the time we have been together, we have been fortunate to travel to many beautiful countries. In 2018, we bought a pop up camper for our truck and fell head over heels for overlanding. With this new found love, and of course the pandemic, we have temporarily tucked away our passports and have been hitting the open road with our dog Henri.



Henri is our fur baby. He is a mutt but has some Alaskan Malamute and German Shepperd. We adopted him from the San Diego Humane Society when he was about 2 years old in 2012. We adore our four legged companion and are so happy that he can now join us on our camping adventures.
Check out the tour of our camper on the Momentary Locals YouTube channel.
