Sarah Pagliasotti is a freelance writer for parenting and travel publications, among others. She's a nearly-native Oregonian who grew up splashing in the surf at Newport's Nye Beach, hiking the forests of the Cascade Mountains and waiting on a tow-truck for the family VW bus on myriad roadsides throughout the state. With wanderlust in her DNA, she's now logging many miles with her own family exploring Oregon's bounty and searching out unique experiences for families. She lives in Portland with her husband and two curious daughters.
