5 Great Pacific Northwest Travel Blog Posts (that are NOT mine!)

I do like to share the love.

However, to quote Yoda, only one woman, I am. Wait, no he didn’t say that, but that’s how he speaks. I can only do so much. Running a Pacific Northwest travel blog is incredibly rewarding, but it’s damn hard work. And as much as I’d like to write every single post imaginable on Oregon, Washington State, and British Columbia, sadly, I cannot.

And so, I rely on other awesome travel bloggers to help fill in the gaps. Pacific Northwest vacation ideas that will knock your socks off.

I am continuously looking for new ideas and new topics to cover. The possibilities are so literally endless, sometimes my brain goes into a tailspin. Should I write about awesome places to stay on the beach? Why yes! Or how about that great new hike I did along Washington State’s Cascade Loop? Of course! Mysterious tunnels in Victoria, B.C.? Now you’re talking!!

Here’s where you come in. What would you like to see on this blog? Take your time. Gather your thoughts. I’ll be here waiting for you.

Okay, times up!!! TELL ME! Leave a comment below, if you please.

In the meantime, I want to share with you these other great travel blogs. I check in on these guys periodically and they consistently post great content. They’ve helped me on my travels, and more importantly, inspire me to keep doing my own blog.

One Day in a City

Gina is a formal travel marketing guru and the queen of one-day destination travel tips. This is a great post on 8 epic places to visit in the PNW. She even covers a couple of places I’ve yet to go to (can you guess which ones?)

We 12 Travel (We Want To Travel)

Antonette loves being in the outdoors. No wonder she’s got a killer 14-day perfect itinerary for the Pacific Northwest. (Thanks for the idea, Antonette!) She is a Dutch traveler who, when not traveling the world, lives in a cabin in the woods. My kind of girl!

Travel Meets Happy

This is a good one! Not sure of her name (I couldn’t find it on her blog!) but she’s got a genuine story-telling vibe about her and her trip through the Pacific Northwest is one of the best I’ve come across. Not gimmicky, not in-your-face. Just honest, “this is what I did” stuff that is engaging, and with NO ads to distract me. Ahhhhh! Breath of fresh air, this gal is.

2TravelDads

Love reading this blog. Two awesome Dads taking their two kids around the world, one destination at a time. And their comprehensive blog post about their incredible Oregon and Washington trip was a joy to read. They outline their complete itinerary and even offer tips here and there throughout. If you do any traveling with kids, the is a blog to follow.

Backroad Planet

Howard and Jerry are from Florida and I really enjoy reading their blog because they are all about getting off the beaten path and really discovering the meat and bones of a destination. Their post about an Oregon road trip is one of the best I’ve come across (aside from my own, obviously!) This actually encompasses several of their articles, all with detailed information and great photos. Would love to meet them someday!

Of course, there are many other bloggers out there who have covered the Pacific Northwest brilliantly in some form or other. But those are for another day. I invite you to savor these travel blogs (as well as my own) and really dig deep in finding ideas for your next vacation to the Upper Left of the USA.
