2016 was a full year and a whirlwind of adventure. We lived in and explored San Diego, moved into an Airstream for 3 months logging 16,000+ miles, traveled to Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia, Korea, Iceland, Mexico, UK, Turkey, Dominican Republic, and Grand Turk, and then moved to Portland.
This past year Local Adventurer also has made it as one of the top 50 travel bloggers in the world! We’re so thrilled and couldn’t have even imagined that we would come this far. We’re so thankful for your support and for following along on our journey here. We’re also very excited to be bringing on some more team members (we’ll make an official announcement on the blog soon)!
