Michelle & Brian Coleman

From Local Trails to Global Treks: Discover how the Colemans, after taking their first steps in a Five Rivers MetroParks program, transformed their passion for the outdoors into an extraordinary reality by conquering multiple Caminos.
Michelle and Brian have been together since 2006. They have traveled to almost all of the United States, Mexico, and Europe. They have traveled in our tent, in B&B’s, in hotels, and now in our travel trailer named Casa de Camino (translation: House of the Journey or Road House). They call her CC for short. They spend part of the year in Dayton, Ohio where we are both teachers. When they are not in the classroom you will find them traveling. They have traveled with students, friends, family, but we mostly travel just the two of them. They have learned the ins and outs of traveling with a lot of patience, research, trial/error, and listening to those who have come before us. They have backpacked parts of the Appalachian Trail and North Country Trail, have visited/hiked more than 40 national parks, and completed some bike touring. They love finding quaint towns across the globe, are thrilled when we master a big city, and can’t get enough of our state and national parks.
