The other side of Glacier

Last September, my friend Mandi told me that she had managed to get reservations for a hotel in Glacier National Park. Did I want to go? Of course I did. We visited Glacier in 2022. It was a fantastic trip, but like a lot of people, we only saw the West side. I really wanted to see the other side of Glacier. This time, the hotel, Many Glaciers, was on the East side of the park. A perfect opportunity to also explore the East, South and North sections of Glacier National Park.

Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints, kill nothing but time.

Hiking the Cami de Ronda: Cadaques to El Port de La Selva

So that Sunday afternoon I start doing some research, create a trip in Triphub and add some hikes and hotels to the trip board. We talk about it more during some of our weekly hikes. In November we decide on dates, and I start mapping out the routes and hotels along the way.

Chengdu: under the Panda’s ass

When a work-offsite was scheduled in Chengdu, I knew this was an opportunity to be able to do another thing on my bucket list. Because Chengdu is most known for their giant pandas and I have always wanted to see them. I once in Hong Kong saw 2 in Ocean Park Zoo, but that does not really count. Sichuan Province is their home, their natural habitat. Besides enjoying a visit with the pandas, both giant and red, I discovered Chengdu has much more to offer. Great food, hiking options and shopping.

3 days in Magical Olympic

I have been going to Seattle regularly for work for over seven years, however I had still not taken the chance to combine a work trip with a trip to Olympic National Park. Until now….I have to be in Seattle in the middle of July, the perfect time to extend my stay and make it out to the Olympic Peninsula for 3 days in magical Olympic. Olympic National Park has it all: a glacier, a rain forest, waterfalls, mountains, lakes and a beautiful rocky coastline.
