Hey there!

Welcome! We’re two Ontario teachers who love to travel, find new adventures, and pass on those experiences through Past The Potholes.

We love traveling to off-the-beaten-path destinations and outdoor adventures. You’ll find us kitesurfing on a tropical beach, hiking in the mountains or on the computer planning our next adventure.

We love to take advantage of our profession to combine our two loves and have taught overseas as well as travelled full-time while creating high-quality resources for teachers online.
