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.

We write detailed travel guides to help you forge deeper connections, and hopefully we’ll help you discover something new along the way.
PS: Matt has Celiac Disease, and we write gluten free travel guides to help you find the best safe gluten free restaurants around the world!
Hiking to Pittock Mansion: A Complete Trail Guide
One of our favorite things about Portland is its green spaces, particularly the parks on the western edge of the city.
