Pulling an all-nighter at SeaTac airport for a 6:45 am flight tomorrow. Perfect time to catch up on blogging!

After a WWOOF stay with the Bobcat Ridge family in Watsonville, I’ve spent the past couple weeks exploring the Pacific Northwest. Got to see some awesome places, experience great outdoor activities, and visit wonderful friends I rarely get to see. I also tried out CouchSurf for the first time, once in Seattle and again in Vancouver. I was wary at first but it’s quickly becoming my favorite way to travel. So heartwarming to know that there are such generous and cool people out there.

There’s way too much to cover everything, but here’s a little recap.

First Stop: Boise
Visiting Lily and Nick, the sweetest hosts! Boise would never be on my radar if I didn’t know someone there, and it was very different from what I expected. It’s a city without a big city feel and has gorgeous foothills and trails at your fingertips. I got to experience a Boise State football game and whitewater rafting for the first time. Lots of fun!
