    Tip, when you buy sponges for dishes. Cut them into thirds or no half. You don’t need a huge sponge for dishes. That way you end up not having to buy too often. I cut mine into thirds and the package lasts longer. 😁 Love your videos!

    RUclips suggested for your videos and love all the places you've been are gorgeous! I went back to the early videos and can relate to your back story of health problems throwing everything off. For me it went from graduating college, starting my career....then getting sick and losing jobs because of it and ending up on SSDI. Your story of no matter what life threw at you, you were determined to make a good life, and working with what resources you have has been a HUGE inspiration for me to get out on the road soon. Hope someday will cross paths on life journey. Happy Safe Travels!😁

      She's doing a beautiful job sharing the stunning vistas. There are some beautiful corners to this state. I've lived here 15 years and still haven't seen it all. We've got mountains, coasts, rainfalls, rainforests. For the more man made aspect of it- the lavender fields in Sequim are amazing. There's normally a huge festival and art street fair(except this year and last) Early spring in Skagit County for the tulip fields in bloom are something I will never forget. On the eastern side it's so different. But you have the Palouse Falls and very different landscapes than the west.

    I live in the PNW and it is definitely beautiful here but all of that green is due to a lot of grey skies and rain. This summer has been exceptionally hot and sunny but most of the time we are wearing polar fleece in the summer. I love our typically mild weather but I have to admit the constant grey gloom and drizzle are depressing. Having said that this area is one of the most beautiful places in the country.
