You know when you hear so much about a place that it loses your interest? Well, that’s what I thought about Yellowstone… until I step foot there and let me tell you… it is other worldly! Yellowstone is America’s First National Park, sitting on top of the world’s most active volcanic platform! As soon as […]

Exploring Glacier National Park
Glacier has become quiet a popular and Instagrammable area! And guys, it’s with good reason! This spot gets packed by like 11AM every single day and it was worth waiting around 4 hours to get inside. Glacier National Park is also known as the ‘Crown of the Continent’, located in beautiful Montana at the top […]
Umpqua Hot Springs
The Umpqua National Forest is full of beauty, it’s much like a smaller Columbia River Gorge in my opinion. While taking Highway 138, to or from Crater Lake, it runs along the spectacularly turquoise North Umpqua River. There are plenty of natural wonders along this highway, but the Umpqua Hot Springs is one to be […]
Top Ten 101 Destination Stops
If you’re planning a 101 coastal road trip, I deeply recommend doing it right. That means starting from the 101 no one thinks about, right off the coastal road. I’ve done this 101 road trip, and took my sweet time along the process. Not only this but I quiet literally live right off highway 101 […]
Traveling Washington 101 North (Temperate Rainforests, Ruby Beach and Cape Flattery)
Though I’ve lived at the bottom of the Washington coast all my life, last weekend was the first time I drove all the way up 101 North. We’ve just about traveled all of the 101 highway now, and Washington’s coast is not much short of Oregon’s. We took advantage of good winter weather and traveled […]
The Tamolich Blue Pool
The Tamolich Blue Pool is one of the Pacific Northwest most beautiful natural wonders. When I first saw photos of this place, I was intrigued right away, but couldn’t decide for myself whether the photos were photoshopped or not. Seeing this magical place for myself, I can say that you cannot describe it’s beauty, it […]
Sometimes Getting Lost Is The Right Direction
I’d be lying if I told you that the travelling lifestyle is all, as my stepmother called it, “hippie flowers and butterflies.” We have our worries just like anyone else, our worries are simply much different, consisting of where we will sleep tonight, the cheapest option for gas and finding the right directions. After driving […]
A Letter To My Fellow Travelers
Dear Fellow Travelers, The house is nearly empty, we’re selling things one by one, packing a box a day. The pile of things we are ridding from our lives is nearly gone and with each thing that sells, I feel fuller. I remember thinking that I couldn’t wait, that leaving was too far away and […]
Your Local National Forest
I currently reside in Spokane Washington and I never considered National Forests to be anywhere around me, until I started really paying attention. My most recent exploration was in the Couer D’Alene National Forest in Idaho, about 40 minutes away from me. My boyfriend and I spent hours trying to find the right place to […]
