About me.

Hi, I’m Cristy! Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, I’ve spent my life chasing adventures—from camping and backpacking in the Cascade Mountains to exploring jaw-dropping destinations like Rome, Paris, Kenya, Bora Bora, and beyond. Every trip, every trail, and every passport stamp has deepened my love for travel, nature, and life’s endless surprises.

These days, I call Yakima, Washington home. Nestled at the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, my husband and I (along with our two kitties who basically run the show) enjoy RV camping, discovering new flavors, and soaking in the beauty of the Yakima Valley.

This blog is my playground for all the things that spark joy in my life:

  • Cooking—From campfire-friendly recipes to farm-to-table creations inspired by Yakima’s bounty.
  • Lifestyle—Cat-filled chaos, cozy RV living, and tips for balancing adventure and everyday life.
  • Travel—Bucket list destinations, road trip guides, and hidden gems in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
  • RV Camping—Packing hacks, campsite reviews, and making your RV feel like home.
  • Yakima Valley—Local favorites, seasonal happenings, and why this area is a slice of heaven.

My hope is to inspire you to embrace your adventurous spirit—whether it’s trying a new recipe, planning a getaway, or simply soaking in the magic of your own backyard.

Say YES to new adventures!
