I WAS BORN WITH A SUITCASE IN MY HAND: ADVENTURES AROUND THE WORLD Becky Rochester would gladly live out of a suitcase if it meant she could see the world, and that is what she did and continues to do today. She has lived in WI, IL, PA, CA, OR, New Zealand and Australia. Working in different wineries and vineyards and now a brewery, she lives life to the fullest. Sometimes following her heart instead of her head put her in some difficult situations, but she wouldn't change a thing.

Mount St. Helens...what a day!
Yep. That just happened. Yesterday I climbed an active volcano (aka Mount St. Helens).

Postcard Experiences
Worldly travels have opened up my mind to how I want others to experience the place I live and love. Long story short is we met a couple of people in the Deschutes Brewery tasting room on the 4th of July and one of them grew up in Iowa. That prompted a great conversation amongst us.
They had originally planned to just pass through Bend, but of course they were having such a great time that they wanted to stay and enjoy all that Bend has to offer...beer, scenery and more beer. Being the 4th of July, all the campsites were full, so I invited them to stay with us. They accepted and had a great time in Bend. The next day they continued on their journey through Oregon.
Anyone who know me, knows that I love getting mail! So today was an epic mail day for me. I received a postcard. A postcard? It is amazing that such a small gesture can create a lasting impression of a place and at the same time impact someones lives by creating great memories.
Postcard experiences: going above and beyond the normal human tendency to create an experience for others, even strangers, so that they want to write it on a postcard for the world to see.
I am going to strive to create more postcard experiences for people. How about you?
