I'm Grace

I'm originally from Vancouver, Canada, but have lived in Houston, Dallas, The Woodlands, and now Seattle. I've always had a passion for travel and drawn to expressing myself through creativity. I left corporate marketing to start my own business, Recoop Spa, and sold it after five years to raise my girls who are now 8 and 12 years old. This website is me trying to fill my creative void.

When I travel, I try to hit the main sites but also go off the beaten path. I have a love of nice hotels, good food, and spectacular wine. I want to capture life memories in a bottle, especially while traveling.
