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 Visit the Colosseum in Rome (for First Timers)
Every time we set eyes on the Colosseum in Rome, we’re instantly reminded just how impressive a feat it is (though, we’d also say that the Forum is arguably more impressive if you consider the scale). Can you imagine building that two thousand years ago without modern technology? It’s madness. A visit to the Colosseum…

The Rachel Lake Trail (+ Rampart Lakes): A Complete Guide
If you’re looking for a taste of the granite and crystal clear water that is a hallmark of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness that you can reasonably get to in a day (while we love the hike to Colchuck, it’s not exactly accessible from Seattle), we have a trail for you! The Rachel Lake Trail (and…

How to Visit the Vatican (Museums + St. Peter’s Basilica)
The combination of the Vatican Museums and St. Peter’s Basilica is quite possibly the most impressive collection of art in the world (the Louvre is the only collection I can think of that comes close in breadth and impressiveness). Now, I’m not saying it’s my favorite collection of art – I generally prefer museums that…
