Grafton & Emily

We met while attending the Maine Maritime Academy studying engineering. After graduation, we worked as traveling Field Engineers where work took us to live in Kansas, West Virginia, and Illinois. After spending all our precious PTO to come home to our family in New England, we decided to move back permanently. Grafton now works in the energy sector and Emily has departed from engineering and pursues seasonal work, notably working in Alaska as a handler for a dog sledding tourism company, and as a ski instructor.

Emily introduced Grafton to camping in college, which grew from a once a year activity into a full blown obsession with camping, hiking, and backpacking. Our trips so far have taken us all through New England, Alaska, and Utah. This year in 2026 we will be spending 2.5 weeks in Norway as we elope, staying in a sprinter van and embarking on a 3 day hut-to-hut trip through Medvind.
