As a curated resource for time-challenged and curious travelers, it is a work in progress, dedicated to hard working chefs, farmers, innkeepers, performers, and artisan producers.

California
Profoundly beautiful, with numerous globally recognized places, California offers diverse landscapes, climates, multi-cultural influences, and endless discoveries. Its immensity and rapid changes make it impossible to ever know fully, even for a deep rooted multi-generation San Francisco native.
Colorado
The stunning beauty of high mountains, dry air, sunshine, ancient remnants of native inhabitants, historic and colorful western style towns, award winning modern city buildings, fun beer and spirits culture are just a few reasons to return again and again to Colorado.
Oregon
Readily accessible high quality and diverse performing arts, an exciting, delicious, innovative food and beverage scene, beautiful volcanic shaped landscapes, scenic coastline, and remote places to explore have kept me in Oregon for three plus decades. Once a mystery to most outsiders, Oregon has become an increasingly popular destination for visitors and new residents.
