We’re here to help you plan an incredible trip.
We’re Matt and Alysha, the two endlessly curious (gluten free) travelers behind this site.
We spent the past two years traveling the world, which included 18 national parks here in the United States, and several months exploring in Europe.
Recently, we have chosen to put down roots in Portland, Oregon, and look forward to exploring even more of the Pacific Northwest. Before that, we’ve lived in San Francisco and Seattle, and know those cities like the back of our hands.
We plan (and pay for) all of our own travels, and we use our first hand knowledge to write detailed travel guides to the places we love to help YOU plan an amazing trip.

Exactly What to Do in Paris (For First Timers)
Paris is a city that has captivated us for years. Particularly Matt, the resident French speaker in this corner of the internet (he took seven years of French in high school, and it takes 2-3 days for it to reemerge when he’s in France). We have both been to Paris many times at this point,…
Exactly What to Do in Portland, OR (for First Timers)
We love Portland for many reasons. Like the excellent food scene. The incredible green spaces within city limits. The easy access to jaw-dropping natural beauty.

While we love our adopted home state of Oregon and places like Mount Rainier and Olympic National Park, if you ask us to name our favorite hiking destination in the Pacific Northwest (the west coast?), both of our minds go straight to North Cascades National Park (and the Mount Baker Wilderness, too). Why do we…
