Hello from one of our FAVORITE cities in the Pacific Northwest…Bend, Oregon! Bend is located in Central Oregon and is a year round outdoor playground, with the epic Cascade Mountains nearby, volcanic history, snow activities, hiking trails, lakes, rivers, and so much MORE!

We first visited Bend back in September 2018 and fell in love with the area. And we are so pumped to have partnered with Visit Bend to experience Bend in a new season for us…spring!

Hi y’all! We’re Adam, Kathryn, and Kona, an adventurous married couple (+ pup!) living on the road in our selfconverted sprinter van! You can often find us driving all around the US and Canada, scoping out the best coffee shops, eating tacos and ice cream (we're a 5+ taco and 2+ scoop household), and enjoying nature.

We help travelers spend less time (and stress!) planning their trip and more time enjoying it! Our detailed travel guides, YouTube videos, and travel resources share the mustvisit local eats, popular and off the beaten path sights, and tons of tips to make planning your next adventure a whole lot easier.

Full disclosureif you click on these links and make a purchase, we get a small commission at no extra cost to you.
