Hello!
Wes and Kelly here! Here on our blog you will find our travel guides and tidbits from our many adventures we take on the weekends, along with longer trips as well! We hope these stories can give you value to your next adventure in one of these cities, or just inspire you to live a more blissful life!
Why we started our travel blog
Our Story
WKNDBLSS started out of our desire to share our travels with the world at large by starting a blog and traveling more. However, most of the stories we were seeing on Instagram were all about people who quit their jobs and bought a van, or worked out of an RV, or quit and sold everything to travel the world. All props to them of course (that’s awesome!), but for us, our local community is important to us and we truly value being part of it. Also, we both love our jobs (Wes—is an analyst + project manager for our local mental health services, Kelly—runs her own graphic design + communications business), and are proud to work hard to help others in our community by continuing to dig deeper in these careers. Because of this, we spend a lot of our weekends roadtripping, backpacking, camping, heading to the city San Francisco, or just adventuring around our own backyard around the Monterey Peninsula. We are here to share these experiences with others and remind you that the grass is greener where you water it; you don’t have to quit everything in order to see the world.
