Sally Rooney

I'm Sally! I've spent the past two years traveling, which included 18 national parks here in the United States, and an extended trip to Europe. Recently, I've chosen to put down roots in Portland, Oregon, and look forward to exploring even more of the Pacific Northwest through hikes, trails, and by water.
