Hi, I’m Andrea and friends’ call me Andee ♥ Born, raised, and currently residing in the Golden State. I love sunshine, ocean views, lake trails, giant redwoods, rolling hills, and majestic mountains. In California, we truly have it ALL!

I have always had an adventurous spirit and as a young woman, I dreamt of all the places I’d go. I had big dreams without clear direction and when I was just getting my feet grounded, life threw me a curveball, and I started one of the grandest (and hardest) adventures of all – Parenthood! I love being a mom and love all the growth and challenges it offers but back then as a young (single) mom I thought my ability to travel, see, and capture wonderful moments, while visiting wonderful new places, was over. That is until I realized adventuring can be near you! So, I’d hop in my car and drive an hour or so in any direction to see where it led and I usually found that it led somewhere new I hadn’t seen! A charming and quaint town with unique storefront shops, a trail into the woods or hills, a city booming with people and tall beautiful buildings, and inevitably, a lovely cup of coffee.

Fast forward a few years, and I still have many places on my go-and-see list, but I have also gotten a bit of adventuring in, and I would love to share those experiences with like-minded hopeful travelers like – YOU! I’d love to share my favorite Places to lodge, Restaurants to dine, Hikes to take, Views to see, Roads to drive, Moments to cherish, and of course, destinations best – Cup of Coffee.

So from one hopeful traveler to another…

May your road always lead to a beautiful adventure ♥
