About me
Hello! I am Samantha. I love to travel, eat, and explore new places, both locally and abroad. Two years ago, I had the adventure of a lifetime travelling across Latin America. Since returning, I graduated from Western Washington with a bachelor's degree in Environmental Studies and Spanish, worked with various environmental conservation groups, and have been itching to see more of the world.
When reminiscing on my travels, my one main regret was not recording my experiences in some way. While some parts of the trip still feel like they happened yesterday, I already struggle to remember some of the more niche experiences and details from my time abroad. Going through my few rushed journal entries and photos(that still take up most of my phone's data) to write about this adventure has been such a fun way to revisit this chapter of my life.
This is my partner, Riley, she came to visit me while I was in Perú!
This past year, I have worked in environmental conservation and am currently managing a café. Riley works in downtown Seattle as a legal assistant at a nonprofit law office. While we love all that the Pacific Northwest has to offer, such as unlimited hiking trails, farmers markets almost every day of the week, and beautiful scenery, we decided that we will be leaving in September. We will pack up our bags, say goodbye to our family and friends, and embark on the adventure of a lifetime.
We plan to travel throughout Europe, Central and Southeast Asia: experiencing diverse cultures, trekking through breathtaking landscapes, learning new skills, meeting new people, and making lifelong memories.
I am excited to use this blog as a space to share our unforgettable experience with friends, family, and those looking for a bit of inspiration to book that one trip they have been dreaming of. I hope you are as excited as we are to hear about the people we meet along the way, the amazing food we discover, the grueling (but worth it) travel days, and the spontaneous adventures we will definitely find ourselves in.
