Hi, my name is Raine! My friend Jeremy and I are backpacking through Europe, planning our trip one day at a time. We met last summer as white water raft guides in North Carolina and road tripped across America running rivers on our double inflatable kayak and having all kinds of other adventures. You can see some of those stories on our tiktok (@raft_guide_road_trip).

I live by the philosophy that the best experiences are the unexpected ones, especially meeting new people and making spontaneous plans. I deeply believe in the concept of serendipity—that when you live open and without expectation, doors open all around and the universe presents you with many gifts and experiences.
