Northern California . Travelogue by Nammy Park

My sister and I haven't traveled together since our last family vacation years ago and to be honest, we didn't even really like each other that much until I went off to college. We're five years apart, so of course, being the mean older sister, I never paid much attention to her. It's funny how life works because in the past few years, she's become one of my best friends. I never thought we would ever get to the point of traveling alone together and to be honest I was super nervous about getting into fights with her, but our first trip together traveling through Northern California--visiting our dad, his wife, our baby brother and my dear friend, Jonie turned out to be a big success.

Seattle . Travelogue by Nammy Park

When you're in Seattle, you can't help but fall in love with the great outdoors. With only a few guaranteed months of good weather out of the year, there is a deep appreciation for even small pockets of sun throughout the day. Luckily, my last couple of trips to Seattle were drenched with warmth and was spent doing all the touristy things I love-- visiting the gross but endearing gum wall, walking around Pike Place, eating some chowder, and visiting the very first Starbucks Coffee to ever exist. This time around, my gracious host and lovely friend, Annie gave me a sneak peek beyond the comforts of my touristy views. Seattle, I've found, is the land of innovation, health, food, coffee, hiking, and consignment shops, rain or shine.
