traveler || the pacific northwest

"Please be a traveler,

and not a tourist.

Try new things,

meet new people,

and look beyond what's right in front of you.

Those are the keys to understanding

this amazing world we live in."

|| Andrew Zimmern

Lately my mind has been wandering again and again to the beauty that is the Pacific Northwest, primarily Washington, Oregon, and Northern California. I'm awed by the rugged glamour and raw beauty of each of these pictures. Simplicity is always on my heart it seems, and the Pacific Northwest just seems to capture that simple, understated, intentional lifestyle that I hope for. Roadtrip, anyone?
