Your Perfect Pacific Northwest Adventure
Your Bespoke Itinerary, Seamlessly Planned from Start to Finish
Stop Stressing Over Your Pacific Northwest Trip
Planning a Pacific Northwest vacation should feel exciting—not like a second full-time job.
Between choosing the right route, deciding where to stay, figuring out ferry schedules, avoiding seasonal closures, and trying to fit everything into a realistic timeline, it’s easy to spend dozens of hours researching… and still wonder if you’ve planned it right.
That’s where I come in.
If planning your Pacific Northwest trip is starting to feel like a second job, I’ve got you. I create custom, day-by-day itineraries for Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia—built around your pace, budget, and travel style—so you can stop researching and start packing.
As a Pacific Northwest travel expert who has spent decades exploring Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia, I’ll help you build a trip that matches your interests, budget, and travel style—without the overwhelm.
✔ Save hours of research
✔ Avoid common planning mistakes
✔ Discover local favorites you won’t find in every guidebook
✔ Spend less time planning—and more time looking forward to your vacation
Why Work with Me?
Because your vacation is too valuable to waste.
You only get so many vacation days.
Instead of wondering whether you’ve picked the right towns, booked the right hotels, or planned too much driving into one day, you’ll have a realistic itinerary created by someone who knows the Pacific Northwest inside and out.
Whether you’re planning:
- an Oregon Coast road trip
- Olympic National Park
- Washington’s national parks
- Seattle and Victoria
- a multi-state Pacific Northwest adventure
I’ll help you make the most of every day.

Complete a short questionnaire so I understand:
- travel dates

I do the planning.
Instead of spending nights comparing hotels, blogs, ferry schedules, maps, and reviews, I’ll build a personalized itinerary designed around your trip.
Step 3
Enjoy your vacation.
You’ll receive a clear itinerary that helps you spend less time second-guessing your plans—and more time making memories.
Why Explorer Sue?
Unlike generic travel planners, I specialize exclusively in the Pacific Northwest.
I’ve spent years exploring Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia, creating detailed destination guides, road trip itineraries, and local recommendations that have helped thousands of travelers plan smarter vacations.
That means I know:
- which towns are worth overnight stays
- when attractions are busiest
- where to find quieter alternatives
- how to avoid unnecessary driving
- which hotels are worth the splurge
- what first-time visitors often miss
My goal isn’t to pack your itinerary with as many stops as possible.
It’s to help you have the kind of vacation you’ll still be talking about years later.
