about us
Dream it.
Live it.
Welcome to Rugged Destinations, where creativity meets strategy, and stories come to life. We’re not your average family, and we’re certainly not your average business. Meet Amanda, Patrick, Atticus, and Grant—the dynamic family of four behind this passion-driven enterprise.
We’re a family of adventurers who have traded the comfort of a permanent home for a life of full-time travel across the globe. Chasing experiences over possessions, we immerse ourselves in diverse cultures, breathtaking landscapes, and unforgettable moments. Our journey is more than a lifestyle; it’s a commitment to living intentionally and sharing the magic of the world through our unique lens.
Our story began amidst the rugged backcountry of the Pacific Northwest, where Amanda’s mountain-climbing roots and Patrick’s urban wanderlust converged. It was there, 10 miles into the North Cascades wilderness, that our shared love for photography and videography blossomed. What started as a dream in the wilderness has grown into a thriving business dedicated to telling extraordinary stories.
