🧭 ABOUT US
Hi! We are Helen and Tim. We are adventure travelers who saved up some money to travel full-time in Jan 2023. We are based in Portland, Oregon, and have been together for over 10+ years and share a love for the great outdoors through hiking, camping, skiing, and more! We grew up in Texas (Helen) & Pennsylvania (Tim).
Our goal is to hike the world one mountain at a time. We love to inspire people to get outdoors whether the adventure is big or small. There is so much in the world to see, even if it is in our own backyards. We started filming our adventures in the PNW, which has evolved into filming our international travels.
Thanks so much for watching! We will see you on the next trail! 🥾

    Hi Helen, thanks for the shoutout. Great video and absolutely crushed the food reviews. It was a challenge to watch on an empty stomach, and not to mention how much we miss Taiwan and Taiwanese cuisine. Surprised that on a Friday midday, Jiufen wasn’t more crowded. When we went in mid April of last year, it was difficult to make our way in the alleyways. The Keelung hike was beautiful but on a hot day, it would be blazing since there’s no shades except for a few pagodas. Next time you return to Taipei, you need to make it to Keelung night market. Arguably it may be even bigger and possibly better street foods than in Taipei. Thanks again, really enjoyed the content.

      @HelenandTimTravel 9 днів тому

      You’re welcome! You’re one of our OG subscribers so when you brought up food vlog and we went back to Taiwan, we just had to give you a shout-out. This video was super hard to edit especially when we got hungry. Jifuen wasn’t as crowded as we thought it would be, definitely got lucky. Still packed though compared to the first time we went during a rainstorm. Will definitely check out the Keelung Night Market next time! Thanks for watching and appreciate your support ☺️🤙🏽

      We both think day 2 is harder since it was a longer ascent and day overall.

Also you get a good nights rest the day before in a hotel in Aguas Caliente ☺️ Hope that helps

    You did hike most of the Annapurna Circuit, but not all of it, even as it stands now. 160 km versus 320 km the true original AC Pokhara - Pokhara. Bhulbhule is a reasonably good starting point, but using transportation from Manang to Tatopani is cheating, as is not hiking from Ghorepani/Poon Hill to Pokhara via Ghandruk - Landruk - Tolka - Deurali - Dhampus. The route has been ruined by the road, having done it twice in the eighties and twice in 2006 and 2009 I think I am certified to say that.

      @@HelenandTimTravel Circuit means a closed loop. If you look at any map, something like Chame, or even Bhulbhule to Jomsom does not even go around Annapurna 1 at all, and forms less than half of the true Circuit. There is a total inflation of classic treks. EBC used to take about 4 weeks, walk in/out. Noe people "do it" in 8 days flying out by helicopter. AC minimum 3 weeks Dukla - Pokhara and close to 4 weeks with Annapurna Sanctuary added. And some people claim to have hiked AC by only hopping over Thorong La. Foothill sections from Dumre to Chamje and Tatopani to Dhampu/Pokhara via Landruk are integral parts of the route. FYI: next time stay in either Ghyaru or Ngawal before Manang (I hope you walked the high trail at least), then there is no need to stay there 2 nights as those 2 villages are already higher than Manang.

    the Dolomiti are the most fantastic mountains I have seen around the world. I grew up spending my holidays there as a child and even learned how to walk in Cortina d'Ampezzo. And even now that I don't live to Italy any longer I manage to travel back there every few years and they are always great. Ah, September is usually the best season. Avoid July and August, too busy and crowded.

    Were you able to book the Refugio before the hike?

      @HelenandTimTravel 29 днів тому

      We did not book in advance for Refugio Peru. It’s first come first served, cash only when we went a few years ago. There were at least 40 to 60 beds from what we could see and that’s not including outside tent camping for those that didn’t want to pay to stay in the Refugio. They have an email listed you may be able to reach out to make reservations in advanced. Here is more info on Refugio Peru in Laguna 69: refugiosandinos.com/en/huts/refugio-peru/

    It's shocking to see Annapurna like this. Did it 25 years ago. It was single trail from Besisahar to the end. Even 15 years ago it was okayish, although roadbuilding had startet. Well if the road truely serves the people, I'm not saying anything.

    I'm very interested in what porters carry for you? You have backpacks and they also have bags four times larger. Considering that you spend the night and eat in villages. And the track is not very difficult. Bottled water?

    • @HelenandTimTravel
      @HelenandTimTravel Місяць тому

      The porters carried mostly our clothes/jackets, toiletries, healthier snacks (we couldn't get on the trail) and sandals. Two people shared one porter bag, so we each had to fit all of our stuff into one big duffel bag for our porter to carry. We each had our 3-liter water bladder. You can buy water at each of the tea houses. We either did that or used our water filters to filter water from the spouts available outside of the tea houses.
