MaryRose Denton is a traveler and blogger from the Pacific Northwest. She applies the philosophy of “meraki” to her writing as much as she did to her thirty-year career as a massage therapist. Meraki is a Greek word best translated as a labor of love. In other words, being so passionate about something you pour your very soul into it. For MaryRose that is travel. She focuses primarily on culture, history, sustainability and vegan/vegetarian travel. She has traveled throughout the US, Canada, and into Western Europe, growing her bucket list each year. She is excited to keep adding those off-the-beaten-path adventures both at home and abroad. Home is the beautiful pacific Northwest, where she resides between mountains and water. Her love for sailing these waters takes her, and her partner, to destinations all along the Salish Sea, including the San Juan and Gulf Islands of Washington State and British Columbia. When not fulfilling her wanderlust, she enjoys an evening home with her partner, some good music, and a good book. MaryRose is a lifelong vegetarian and proud mom of two amazing grown children, who accompany her on adventures when they can.
