Before a new adventure, my husband (like his father) will always say “We quest for adventure”. Our quest for adventure paved the way for Mariposa Travel, which has become our way to remember, document, and share our adventures. We hope this blog inspires you to quest for new adventures!
“Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.”
John Muir
