About Us

Welcome to Relaxing Journeys!

Hi there! I'm Dave, the founder of Relaxing Journeys, a shop born out of my deep love for travel, nature, and the wonders of our Creator. I started this journey in December 2022 to share those passions through unique apparel and home decor that capture the spirit of the great outdoors and the adventures we all cherish.

I grew up around the beautiful lakes and beaches of Michigan, where the serenity of water and sand became a part of who I am. My wife comes from the deserts and Rockies of the southwest, a land of stunning contrasts and rugged beauty. Now, we’ve made our home in Apex, North Carolina, a perfect spot nestled halfway between Atlantic beaches and the Great Smoky Mountains. We love to hit the road with our three kids whenever we can, soaking up the beauty of nature and making memories that will last a lifetime. But as our children grow and prepare to set out on their own journeys, we cherish these moments even more.

Each item in my shop is thoughtfully designed by me in our home in North Carolina. Each piece reflects some of my favorite journeys, aiming to bring back your own memories of great adventures and inspire you to plan your next one. Once you place an order, I put the finishing touches on your design and send it to a trusted print shop I work with. They handle the printing and shipping, ensuring your item arrives ready to enjoy.

I believe in creating products that speak to the heart of every traveler and nature lover. If you see something you like but want a personal touch or a different product, just let me know—I'm always happy to customize and make your vision come to life.

Thank you for stopping by Relaxing Journeys and supporting my small business. Your support allows me to continue doing what I love and sharing it with you. Remember, life is a journey, relax!

Happy Journeys,
Dave
