Snoqualmie, WA: Hiking Granite Mountain
This last Saturday, I squeezed in a hike to Granite Mountain in the Cascades with a friend before the end of the hiking season! It’s certainly nearing the end of the season and I was a bit concerned about us doing this hike at all since it had snowed the night and I don’t have …
6 Days in a Tiny House on the Sunshine Coast, BC
I’m a bit tardy (as usual) with my post but two weeks ago, Tom and I spent a week out of town together on the Sunshine Coast, west of Vancouver, BC. We’ve been discussing tiny house living for a while, so this was a bit of a test run for us and overall we found …

What to do in Seattle
I’m writing this post for my sister, since I’ve convinced her to visit me in this lovely best coast city. I’ve been living in Seattle for the last two years and visiting it frequently for the four years before that but I’m far from being a local or expert (I’ll save that title for my …
Seattle, WA: Plant Sales and Capitol Hill Garage Sale
As part of my effort to do more concerted exploring of Seattle, I went out to two plant sales and a neighborhood garage sale this last weekend! I found out about the events off The Stranger’s event page, which is always a great way to find out about events happening in the Seattle area. Saturday: …

Seattle, WA: Discovery Park
Yesterday, I took a lovely morning run down in Discovery Park! Discovery Park is the largest public park in Seattle at 534 acres and contains 11.81 miles of walking trails (reference: Wikipedia). Despite the fact that the park is just across the Locks from me, I hadn’t gone in the 2 years I’ve lived in …
Mount Rainier National Park: Hiking Glacier Basin Loop
Yesterday, we did a lovely 11 mile hike in the Mount Rainier National Park. It’d been a long time since I’d been in that part of Washington and my first time hiking in the area and it provided some much needed mountain therapy since I’m missing my hiking adventures in Switzerland. It was a 2 …

Weekend in Nice and Monaco
I was fortunate to spend this last weekend in Nice and Monaco before catching a flight back to Seattle after an exhausting 3 weeks in Europe. I was really expecting to love Nice and had some high hopes for the romance of the French Riviera and opulence of Monaco – and they both disappointed a …
10 Days in Switzerland
This August, I was fortunate enough to spend a week bumming around Switzerland! I took a week’s vacation while abroad for work and, after years of prodding from my brother-in-law, decided Switzerland would be the perfect spot for my trip! This ended up being a stupidly long post, so I’m including links to the different …
Reasons to Stay Alive by Matt Haig
Last night, I picked up Matt Haig’s #1 Best Seller Reasons to Stay Alive and read it cover-to-cover in a single sitting. Beyond being a well-written, slim read, the book touched a nerve as someone who has fought with chronic anxiety and depression – though, in spite of the subject material, I only found myself …
