Creative by Nature, Inspired by the World
Hi, I’mTrish!
When I turned 30 I took my first trip to Asia and at the same time moved there!
I became a yes person (saying yes to everything - as long as it was safe and moral).
This changed my life and I became a Yesplorer, a bold adventurer of life who approaches each opportunity with an enthusiastic “YES!”
Today, I’m a creative, designing and making beautiful quilts, textile artwork, and traveling all over the world embracing “YES” moments.
Welcome! I’m so very glad you’re here.
I’m a creator at heart, always inspired by the beauty & creativity that surrounds me. My passion is travel & taking others with me. Here you’ll find opportunities to join me on Culture Retreats around the world (including merch for those retreats). You’ll also find some fun Sisters, OR merch - celebrating mountain biking and supporting our local youth racing team.
Attend my next Culture Retreat to Taiwan.
Here’s just a few reasons why Taiwan will inspire you, entice you, and ignite your curiosity:

Taiwan with Tricia as our guide was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I hated to see come to an end! We didn’t just get to experience the ‘touristy’ things, we got to immerse ourselves in the Taiwanese culture which was so enriching."

Whether I’m quilting, cooking, playing music, or exploring new cultures, my mind is always buzzing with ideas. Traveling fuels my creativity - each new place offers fresh inspiration from its architecture, colors, nature, and people. I believe in sharing these experiences, learning from others along the way, and helping others become yesplorers too.
