Support our Adventures
If you like what you see and want to help us keep going there are several ways to help. Sharing our content is free and helps us a lot. Direct donations towards our meals and gas helps a ton. Hire us. You can hire us to help with your creative media and enhance your online presence. We build websites that are SEO heavy, photography and all videography you see on my platforms are all done by Athena. Nothing is outsourced so supporting local businesses is my heart if you want to do the same for this small business. This is our sole income and what we spend our time doing. Time is money so we spend as much of it giving back as we can however we have to keep the lights on. So thank you so VERY much to everyone who supports, follows, shares, donates and hires us outright to connect people who love Minnesota! We can not do it without you!
