Hi, I’m Melanie, and I’m an architect living in central Oregon. Here’s the thing: I absolutely love to travel. But with a full time job (and a global pandemic), I can only travel so much.

I was in a rut, and so I started to treat each day as if I were traveling, and I began to see things for the first time that were right under my nose. I do think that this world has an infinite bounty of moments to explore, if you’re present enough to see it.

This blog is focused on exploration, mindfulness, and architecture (because I just can’t help myself) but most importantly, my goal is to help inspire you to see the beauty that’s already around you.
