About me

About me
Young and restless, I'm an explorer of my own city. When I'm not at a desk, you can find me getting lost biking through the rather convoluted streets of Seattle. I find it to be the best way to get to know the city and discover some hidden gems.

I also love to hike, Mt. Bike and climb, so when not I'm exploring the city I'm out exploring nature and blogging about my adventures.

Why Seattle?
Seattle is beautiful. Seattleites might complain about the rainy weather, the traffic and the antisocial Seattle Freeze, but when the sun is shining and the skies are clear it's hard to rival the number of beautiful views and the majestic scenery.

The beauty of Olympics rising above the Puget Sound, the jagged Cascades outlined by the sunrise and Mount Rainier sightings catching you by surprise more than make up for all the hardships.
