We’re Patrick Duncan and Maya Ellison, the creators behind Truce Now, a platform born from our shared passion for exploration, storytelling, and the transformative power of travel.

Our Journey

Truce Now began as a simple idea: to document our adventures and share the hidden gems we discovered along the way.

From the winding slot canyons of Utah to the vibrant eateries of small-town America, we’ve always believed that every place has a story worth telling.

Our experiences, like exploring the caves of Zion National Park or uncovering the best restaurants in Kanab, have fueled our desire to inspire others to embark on their own journeys.

Our Mission

At Truce Now, our mission is to provide authentic, firsthand accounts of the places we visit. We aim to go beyond the typical tourist spots, delving into the heart of each location to uncover its unique character and charm.

Whether it’s a secluded hiking trail, a family-owned diner, or a local festival, we strive to showcase the experiences that make each destination special. If you want to read more about how we do things around here, visit our editorial policy.
