We’re the Widens
We’re Loretta and Jeremy Widen, two creative people from California who love to travel, hike, and camp. We write about adventures both big and small that touch our hearts and bring us closer together.
Loretta
Loretta spends a lot of time making things and dreaming about far off places. By day she designs apps in San Francisco. By night she designs travel books and fantasizes about her next adventure. On weekends she can be found hiking and taking photos of beautiful California scenery with her husband and adorable dogs, Zero and Darby.

Jeremy
Jeremy is a freelance cinematographer, woodworker, and camping enthusiast. Jeremy feels most alive sleeping on the ground under the stars in the mountains. He is the king of beer and food pairings, loves his whiskey, and will give you a run for your money playing pool.

Zero
Zero is our energetic and playful eleven-year-old corgi. He absolutely loves climbing sand dunes, rolling around in the snow, and hopping along river rocks. Though he’s getting old, he’s still got plenty of puppy energy as he chases after balls at the park and rolls around on the floor with Darby.
Darby
Darby is a six-year-old spitfire of a corgi. He’s a professional escape artist and loves to annoy and run circles around Zero. He’s part mischief maker, part master hugger. We have had a wild time learning how to raise this independent, long-legged springy jumper of a corgi.
