The story of the Trunk Trolls (or at least the name) begins 5 years ago and suprisingly no trunks were involved. It emerged while travelling the highways and back roads of Spain in the back of a mini van. Luggage piled high and far from the driver we sought; independance, a voice, representation. What we received instead was a shush or temporary deafness by everyone else in the van. We came to think of ourselves as the pathetic, ill-begotten trolls of the backseat. Trunk, due to alliteration, is much more literary however, and the Trunk Trolls were born.
Our own stories begin lo
ng before this on a cold winter's day in 1982 and dry, sunny day in 1985 when we were born. Our mothers had been best friends since they were teenagers. Our pa
rents avid dirt bike enthusiasts dragged us across BC from race to race to the point where living out of a camper was second nature. Alas, we grew up and in 2005 our Spanish Odyssey began. United in our quest for recognition and to be rid of Tyler's sweaty feet, we
developed a new friendship. My hope is to one day transform our love of travel into riches, fame, and early retirement, however, I will settle for just one follower on this blog. To start a re-cap of past travels and then expressions of new
adventures and plans for adventures.
