My next trip is going to be a long tour. I want to go Amtrak from Houston > LA > Vancouver > Chicago > Houston I’m planning to stopover at certain places all along the way. I haven’t decided what places just yet but I want to see places I’ve never been. Important notes: I’ve lived in Kansas City, Phoenix and Vegas. Stayed in LA & San Diego a couple times. Never been North of Hollywood. Grand Canyon = 5 trips Would love some off the beaten path suggestions. Part of this trip is to get a good feel for Pacific Northwest. I was thinking about moving out that way. Every other move has been city unseen.

Hi 👋🏼 from Houston I’ve lived here 16 years. If I stay 2 more years, it will be the same amount of time as my hometown. Doubt I’ll make it another 2. I’m so ready to run up out of here. To where…. 🤔 if I knew for sure, the Uhaul would already be packed. As far as traveling 🧭 🧳 I’ve been to 26 states, 3 other continents. Africa (Kenya, Ghana, UAE), India 🇮🇳 (Asia) and New Zealand 🇳🇿 Dream destination - Bali or Fiji or Maldives I love the beach and mountains. New Zealand was truly the best of both worlds. As soon as these new ventures expand, I would love to move there. Essentially, I want my own Eat Pray Love adventure.

Glad to be involved in the group. Thanks Eric!

What is ourae? Pronounced ooo-ray. Ourae are the primordial gods of the mountains in Greek mythology. The ourae brand mission is to release the mountain gods within all of us. The brand ourae was born on a summer trip across Europe in 2022. My brother from another mother Chris and I were riffing eCommerce ideas back and forth... naturally brand name brainstorming began. After an astounding amount of brainpower was used to fire up a google search, ourae was chosen. Primordial Greek mountain gods? Oh yeah. Being (relatively) career focused, we didn’t lean into the brand until 2024. Based out of Denver, Colorado, ourae will be launching it’s first product line, OLYMPOS, this year along with our newsletter. We’re building this brand to better the world. As humanity has grown, we’ve often forgotten how to play. Let us be a reminder to go out and engage with the world in a way YOU enjoy. Life is short. Release your inner explorer!
