Two Packs and a Pup

Welcome, traveler!

We believe the best trips come from slowing down. We value unique experiences, cultural immersion, and off-the-beaten path adventures, and we’re here to help you do the same. By living and working around the globe as digital nomads, we spend weeks or even months exploring each destination, finding the best tours, tastiest restaurants, and important travel tips you need to know. Our practical itineraries, based on firsthand experience, include honest recommendations and memorable experiences to help you travel with confidence beyond the typical tourist checklist.

Who We Are

We are Meredith and Colby of Two Packs And A Pup, full-time travelers and digital nomads exploring the world with our dog, Cali. After 10 years in corporate America, we decided to take the road less travelled – we sold all of our worldly possessions, grabbed our pup, and set out for the life that we had dreamed about while sitting in our cubicles. For more than 2 years now, we’ve traveled the globe and experienced the best that the world has to offer. From world wonders to hidden gems, rooftop cocktails to the best street food, and some epic outdoor adventures along the way, we won’t stop until we’ve seen it all – and shared the best of it with you!

Questions?

We love hearing from fellow travelers. Whether you’ve got a question about one of our favorite destinations, a suggestion for where we should head next, or just want to say hi, feel free to send us a message!

  • You haven’t really laughed…
Until you’re racing across the sand dunes of Peru hoping the car doesn’t tip over.

  • At first glance, we had no idea what this was. 👽
Granadilla might look like it belongs on another planet, but crack it open and you’ll find one of the sweetest, most refreshing fruits we’ve tried in Peru. 
The texture is unlike anything we’ve had before.
Would you try it, or does it look a little too alien? 😂👇

  • Cusco is so much more than just Machu Picchu 🇵🇪 
If you’re planning a trip, these are the spots that completely blew us away:
Pisac – Incan ruins with the most incredible mountain views in the Sacred Valley.
Pallay Punchu – A colorful striped mountain that’s 10x better than rainbow mountain.
Humantay Lake – One of the most vibrant turquoise lakes we’ve ever seen, surrounded by towering peaks.
Saqsaywaman – Massive Incan stonework just above Cusco that’s even more impressive in person.
Machu Picchu – The iconic Lost City of the Incas, and every bit as unforgettable as you’d hope.
We covered almost everything there over two months but these were the best 🙌
Which one would be at the top of your Peru bucket list? 👇
