Canadian owners, Sara deRuiter and Neil Haapamaki have spent the last 18 years exploring the globe together. These expert travelers have deliberately taken the road less traveled and throughout their journeys have learned that adventure and fun can always be found if you have the proper tools.
They have also come to realize that comfort and relaxation along with wonderful things to eat and drink make the journey much sweeter.
Now settled in Merida, they are excited to assist others in their quest to build their own adventure tool box. With a great knowledge of the local area and cuisine Sara and Neil strive to create amazing new memories and unforgettable experiences.
