A travel journal by Nicholas & Mackenzie

Every trip is a
little adventure.

Stories from the trail, the table, and everything in between — plus the points & miles strategy that gets us there.

We're Nicholas & Mackenzie

Two Pacific Northwesterners chasing alpine views, waterfall trails, and the occasional great meal — usually funded by a carefully curated stack of travel credit cards.

This blog is our way of documenting the places we love, the hikes that humbled us, and the financial strategies that made it all accessible. Nothing fancy, just honest stories from the road.
