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.

We’ll help you become a more active participant when you travel – as opposed to an observer – by helping you find ways to connect with locals through cooking classes, walking tours, and more.
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 the Klahhane Ridge Trail: A Complete Trail Guide
One of the reasons we love Olympic National Park is the breadth of different landscapes you’ll find within its (somewhat confusing and fragmented) boundaries. You have everything from rugged rocky beaches up and down the Pacific Coast, to dense coastal temperate rainforests with all of the ferns and moss you could possibly want, to crystal…

Exactly How to Plan an Amazing 14 Day Portugal Itinerary
Portugal will always hold a very special place in our hearts because, in many ways, it represents the birth of this very website as it exists today. Portugal was the first stop on our first big international trip that we did after betting it all on this corner of the internet, leaving our jobs and…

Exactly What to Do in Cannon Beach (for First Timers)
Look, on a spectrum of “mountain people” to “beach people”, we’re about as far over towards the mountain side as it gets. However, we’d be lying to you if we said that we didn’t love ourselves some time out on the Oregon Coast around Cannon Beach. Of the towns on the northern coast, we find…
