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.
A couple of years ago, we quit our jobs and spent two years on the road in a converted Honda Odyssey exploring the western United States before spending three months in Europe.
After two years on the road, we put down roots in Portland, Oregon, and have fallen in love with the Pacific Northwest (Matt grew up in Seattle).
Now, we spend about six weeks a year in Europe, and the rest of the year exploring places closer to home.
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.

Our Favorite Things to Do in Hood River: A Complete Guide
