I am a born-and-raised Oregon native living right in the Willamette Valley wine country gateway. Planning a Pacific Northwest trip this year?

Hey everyone! I’m an Oregon native based in the West Linn / Lake Oswego area, which sits right as the historic gateway to the Willamette Valley wine country and Portland's culinary scene.

I know the Pacific Northwest is a major bucket-list destination for people in Baltimore who love incredible farm-to-table food scenes, world-class Pinot Noir, and deep river heritage. But trying to figure out the driving logistics, avoiding tourist bottlenecks, and navigating the valley roads can be a massive planning headache from 3,000 miles away.

I’m around to answer any logistical questions you have about visiting our region—whether it's about navigating our boutique wine trails, crossing the river on our historic open-air Canby Ferry, exploring the end of the Oregon Trail in historic Oregon City, or how to completely bypass our heavy highway traffic bottlenecks.

Portfolio Test: I'm also launching a boutique digital itinerary service around my day job and need a few East Coast testers. If you have an upcoming trip on your calendar and want me to map out a completely custom, traffic-free 3-day weekend itinerary for free this Saturday, just let me know in the comments or send me a DM!
