When it comes to where to stay for North Cascades National Park, it’s actually quite difficult since there are very limited places inside the park boundaries itself besides camping. You have two options for inside the park, which I’ve given below, but otherwise, you can find accommodation both to the east of North Cascades and…
Are you planning a trip to the Pacific North West and wondering whether to visit Seattle or Vancouver? Or perhaps you’re trying to weigh up Seattle vs Vancouver as a city to live in? Both Seattle, Washington and Vancouver, British Columbia have a lot to offer and which one you choose to visit might depend…
The Leavenworth Christmas Market in Washington State is one of the best Christmas markets in North America that I’ve come across. As a Brit, one thing I miss living in Canada when it comes to Christmas is Christmas markets. Europe does Christmas markets SO well (as you’d expect since they’re from there). The Gothenburg Christmas…
I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve gone on to Airbnb and searched for “cabins near Vancouver”. There’s just something about staying in a wooden shelter with a fireplace, blankets, a board game or a good book.

There are so many awesome hikes deserving of being given the title of best hikes in North Cascades National Park Washington. This gem of a National Park was one of my favorite National Parks we visited during our three-month America trip and luckily we were able to go back multiple times since we lived just…
Mt Rainier National Park is up there my favorite US National Parks visited during our three-month road trip across America. In the state of Washington, Mount Rainier National Park seemed a bit wilder than some of the other parks we visited during our trip to America. There are numerous multi-day hikes, wildlife galore, and some…
The North Cascades National Park, Washington was the last US National Park we visited during our three-month cross-country road trip. It’s also the last part of the Pacific North Crest Trail for hikers who’ve hiked the PCT from south to North. The year we visited winter had been kinda crazy all along the west coast…
