Welcome! We’re Holly and Bryan, a couple based in Portland who love traveling around the beautiful Pacific Northwest. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we replaced a trip to Europe with a road trip down the Oregon coast, and we realized that there’s so much to explore right here in our own corner of the world.
Since then, we’ve become serial weekend travelers around the Pacific Northwest. We love sharing our favorite travel finds with you.
Join us as we hike some of the most scenic Pacific Northwest trails, experience Oregon’s many weird and wonderful festivals, explore flower farms and gardens, find unique places to stay, and watch the region’s fascinating annual wildlife migrations.
To plan your own trip or weekend adventure in Oregon or Washington, check out our PNW Travel Planner. You can filter travel ideas by location, difficulty, and type of experience.
For some extra spice, check out our Travel Tales. It’s our stockpile of misadventures and discoveries while exploring new places in the Pacific Northwest and around the world.
To follow our adventures with our Little Explorer (our newborn!), check out Our Portland Life.
