We've always been the people who want to see what's around the next corner.

When we travel somewhere new - or even explore the city we've lived in for years - we don't just want to see the places everyone tells us to visit. 

We want to find the places we didn't know were there.

A hidden landmark.
A little cafe the locals love. 
A quiet park.
An interesting piece of history.
A place that's just ... different.

But finding those places wasn't always easy. 

We'd pull up Google Maps and start looking at points of interest. 
Then we'd figure out how to connect them ourselves - closest to furthest, depending on whether we wanted a loop, an out-and-back, or a one-way direction.

If we were exploring one direction, we'd sometimes end up sitting at a coffee shop or pub with a map on the table, figuring out where to go next. 

And then we'd talk to the locals. 

"Where would you go?"

Those conversations often led us somewhere we'd never have found on a tourist map. 

THAT'S THE KIND OF EXPLORING WE LOVE.

We'd rather discover the hidden gem than stand in line at the tourist trap. 

We'd rather follow a local recommendation than a Top 10 list. 

We'd rather wonder "What's down that street?" than take the same route we've taken a hundred times. 

So we started wondering: 

What if we could turn that way of exploring into an adventure?

What if you could choose how you want to move - walk, run or ride - choose how far you want to go, and have the journey lead you toward interesting places you might never have thought to look for?

That's Checkpoint Adventures.
