Well, folks, we’re officially a year old! Or are we? You see, To The Next Journey (TTNJ) has been in the works for over a decade. So, where did it all start? And how did we end up here, turning hot sauce into our latest adventure?
It all began back in 2012 when we got hitched and created a website for our wedding details. To The Next Journey was born – part wedding blog, part travel diary. After quitting our office jobs, selling everything we owned, and hopping into our trusty 60s Land Cruiser, we hit the road, honeymooning and exploring the Pan-American highway. The route shifted as all good adventures do, but we still drove over 60,000 km, experiencing solitude and sharing moments with fellow wanderers.
Our travels taught us a lot about food and connection. From cooking under the stars to sharing meals with locals, we discovered that the magic of food went far beyond what you could create in a kitchen. It became a universal language – a way to connect with people, share stories, and bond over something simple yet powerful.
We focused on a small batch, high-quality hot sauce line – Habanero, Pineapple, and Jalapeno. And just like that, our new brand was born. We’ve learned a lot over the past year, and while we’re new to food manufacturing, our mission is clear: create products that reflect our passion for real ingredients, real flavors, and the spirit of outdoor adventure.
Looking back, it’s crazy to think that this little brand has been eleven years in the making. From the road trip that kicked it all off to now, we’ve kept that adventurous spirit alive. And while we no longer have the Land Cruiser, cooking around the fire in our backyard or on a camping trip is still very much a part of our lives.
We’ve loved hearing how our hot sauce has enhanced your adventures – whether it’s spicy sandwiches at the pump track or a backyard BBQ.
As we celebrate our first year, we’re filled with gratitude for all of you who’ve joined us on this journey. We’re just getting started, and we can’t wait to share more with you. Now, let’s go get it!
To The Next Journey 🌶️🔥
