Hi! I’m Elizabeth, Washington-based outdoor adventurer and explorer. If you’re looking for PNW travel itineraries and inspiration, hiking trail suggestions, or guidance on traveling with kids, you’re in the right place. I’m here to help you spend more time outside with your family.

 

 

 

Based in the Seattle area, I spend the majority of my free time either experiencing outdoor adventures or planning my next one. As a relatively new mom, I prioritize spending as much time with my family outside as possible. This ranges from relaxing at local parks to sledding at sno-parks to hiking the most epic Washington trails and everything in between. I’ll share my insights from all my travels with you.

My husband and I met in Ecuador, where he’s from, and often visit. We have lived in Washington four years and counting and have explored a LOT locally. I love traveling internationally and hope to explore more international destinations (and share about them) in the coming years. We went on our first international trip with our son to the Galapagos when he as four months old, and to Thailand when he was six months old. Novelty always excites me, and there is nothing quite as thrilling as visiting an entirely new place.
