Sandra the Traveller is a collection of writings about life. It is by examining our life, understanding more deeply who we are, and following our dreams that we come to any meaning of it all. We are all travellers, even if we don’t leave our hometown. Each day events, circumstances, and people present us with opportunities to walk our path.

Blue Lake
Humboldt County in California is full of wonders and wonderful places to explore. Prairie Creek. Fern Canyon. And all the surf checks (and surfing) at the lagoons. Big Lagoon. Stone Lagoon. Freshwater Lagoon. This week we drove out to Blue Lake. On the 101, we headed out to Orick (and saw Betty’s store had closed)…
