About Me
I am a Millennial lover of all things travel! I have experience working as a corporate travel consultant and travel coordinator and enjoy exploring other countries, states, cities, and my own backyard which is Portland, Oregon.
I have experience in different modes of travel and firmly believe there are benefits to all: solo travel, couples travel, Group, Friends, Family, and traveling with babies and children.
Web design is courtesy of my husband Phil, who typically accompanies me on my travels. When hes not being dragged around the world, US, or Portland with me you can typically find him working from his computer, filming a metal show, or laying out in the backyard on a nice day.
I’m also a new mom to an awesome baby girl who is my new travel partner. By one she has visited 5 states: Washington, Oregon, California, Hawaii, and Arizona and 7 countries: USA, Mexico, Costa Rica, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro.
My parenting technique is best described as a not-quite-crunchy, trial and error and evidence based. I am a big fan of learning methods from all over the world not just the US and applying those that fit my ideology. I’ll make sure to share my favorite toys, brands, and lifestyle related mommy things from my perspective.
My interests include but are not limited to: culture, scuba, SUP (stand up paddleboarding), city walks, hiking, beer, wine, foodie life, mom life, the ocean, volcanoes, animals, writing, reading, and of course all things travel!
I believe in not reviewing an attraction, restaurant or location without first checking it out. With that being said pictures and reviews are all mine (unless noted) and are copyright.
Thanks for checking out my blog!
