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.

How to Plan a Perfect Columbia River Gorge Day Trip
As you head east out of Portland, the landscape starts to change and you leave the flat valley with a few hills and cinder cones behind and head out along the Columbia River, which funnels you into a deep gorge that has been carved into the Cascades by millions of years of water flowing through…

What to Do in Bend, Oregon (for First Timers)
Since we’re almost always coming from Portland, we usually come down Highway 26 through Government Camp and past Mount Hood. As soon as you cross the Cascades and turn south towards Bend, you start to see the landscapes changing from the ferny underbrush and towering evergreens that are emblematic of Western Oregon, to scrubbrush and…

Our Favorite Things to Do in London (for First Timers)
Is London our favorite city in the world? It’s hard to pick just one, but if the criteria is something about rich history, great food, and extremely good public transportation (Matt is a nerd), then it has to be somewhere near the top. Put a different way, if we have a chance to go spend…
