Hello! I'm Thien

Pronounced like it's spelled: 'teea-in.' Born and raised New Englander. I've previously owned Nissans and Hondas, but in 2016, my first Subaru happened. I use my Impreza for everything: haulin' my crap, kayaking, biking, you name it. It has got to be in my top 3 favorite vehicles to own as a daily. 2018 and COVID-19 manifested the lifted Imp, both from lifestyle and an escape-pandemic-burnout necessity.

As a frequent car-camping body, I quickly learned that having more ground clearance was crucial for remote-camping and getting to those middle-of-nowhere places. "Trekking" through the backcountry meant I needed something capable for discovery; expedition; search and rescue; but, most of all: time in Nature; away from things -- calm and quiet, peaceful, a [my] happy-place. Over-the-mountain, by the water, in the woods; all year-round.

There are over over 400 national parks that preserve millions acres of the world's most treasured landscapes and ecosystems. As I spend more of my time outside, I find myself reflecting, we should do everything we can in both enjoying it, but also cherishing it and preserving it.

One day, I hope we too can share stories and burgers, somewhere in between.

Cheers,
