Hello, friends! The Pacific Northwest is full of stories waiting to be told, and I'm on the trail seeking the very best ones! What would you like to see featured here? It could be a bucket list spot or a little-known place… a person, event, or organization that makes the Pacific Northwest wonderful… a quirky story about Big Foot, a local legend or a piece of historical trivia… an interesting geological anomaly… anything that you think would make a fabulous story that highlights what's special about this unparalleled area! I look forward to your ideas, which you may add in the comment section. It's a beautiful world… so stay adventurous!
Hi, I'm Esther and I believe that this world is a beautiful place, a gift, a wonderland waiting to be explored. The glorious beauty of the Pacific Northwest - from Northern California to British Columbia - overwhelms my senses. It grabbed hold of me the first time I saw it and never let go. It’s my challenge - and joy - to share this incredible adventure with you.
Will you come along on this wild and wonderful road trip? You’re invited to meet the delightful, charming, and quirky characters I encounter. Learn their stories, be surprised by odd tales and tidbits, and find humor and compassion off the beaten path.
If you’re like me, you’re curious about everything! So, I know you'll enjoy the fascinating stew of stories here – from sea monsters to lost mines, from Native American legends to history and hiking paths, from forests and new friends to waterfalls and waves, from art and architecture to bears and Big Foot, and from cocktails and great chefs to wild rivers and rambling roads.
I'd love to have you view this voyage of discovery in the Great Northwest through the eyes of a small-town girl who grew up on the wild Mendocino Coast! So, join me, won’t you?
