Sometimes the best way to keep stress at bay is a quick escape and some chill time in nature. Here's everything I did and recommend on my recent trip to Sequim and the Olympic Peninsula. This was my second trip to the Olympic Peninsula, and I'm sure there will be more! The goal of this trip was to go slow, experience unique places, watch the sunset over the water, and spend time in the lush green forests of the peninsula. This region is so green and has such great scenery, I can physically feel myself loosen up and get lighter just driving into the area.

For years Oregon was an off-the-radar state located on the Pacific Ocean that was known mostly for Myrtle wood trinkets and wet, cold weather. Little did people know that Oregon has so much more to offer. With a rennaisance attributed much to the establishment of the wine industry, Oregon started attracting more tourists, and, as a state realized they had much more to offer than the ocean and Myrtle wood trinkets.
With the advent of high tech, Oregon's population exploded, and with that, came a desire to explore and experience new things. Destinations that were once virtually unknown suddenly became top of the list stops on vacation plans and long weekend trips.
Oregon has so much to offer beyond the obvious Pacific Ocean and Mt. Hood. Take a dive into some of my favorite places to go and have a great time!

I read each of these in my own reinvention era — and I still come back to them when I need clarity, strength, or a mindset reset. 💖
