We are Terry and Claire, two Ontario teachers who love to travel, find new adventures, and pass on those experiences through Past The Potholes.
Most of our travel is during our vacation time so it has to be planned to make the most of every minute. Luckily Claire enjoys planning and creating the perfect itinerary! However, we’ve been tourists, backpackers, expats and even digital nomads.
Our travel experience is as varied as the sports we enjoy. You’ll find us kitesurfing on a tropical beach, hiking in the mountains or on the computer planning our next adventure!
