WHAT? WHY? WHO?

We moved to the Bay Area in early 2014. Upon researching new places to check out, it was becoming difficult to remember where we'd already been. This blog is to document that for us. Maybe it will be helpful to you, too. I'm obviously not a hardcore hiker or athlete, but an appreciator of nature and exploring.

Otherwise, I'm an author and designer, lover of food and animals (but not food made from animals), and I make stuff. If you want to know what, you can find out here.
