Roxy and Ben Dawson have been writing about their outdoor adventures for over ten years. Their first title with FalconGuides, Falcon Guide to Van Life, was written after living full-time in their van for over four years. Both are from the East Coast but found their stride, and each other, in Colorado. Since then, they have hiked thousands of miles and shared their love of the outdoors with anyone who will listen. You can find them on their website at benthereroxythat.com or on their personal Instagrams, @roxyjan_ and @meetmeonthemountain.
