We are diving deep into dating, love and relationships in our mini-series, The Love Traverse. The mountain town dating pool can often seem like a murky puddle. Dating is difficult. Our outdoor community faces a unique set of hurdles when finding and keeping love. In episode one Dirtbag Romance, we investigate how outdoor folks are dating. Writer and stand up comedian Sidni West deploys humor on her hunt for love. After seven years of living in a van, photographer and climber Austin Siadak’s romantic life looks different now that he’s renting a home. Nory Emori describes herself as “outdoor adjacent” and her fleeting partnership with a van lifer had pros and cons. When you’re devoted to the outdoors, how can you also devote yourself to finding love? And how do you hold on to it? First things first, you try.
