About Me

Hello! Thanks for joining me! I’m Bekah, just your average person on a mission to make life worth writing about. I have a husband, a day job, personal struggles like everyone else, and a creative river running through it all that continually carves my identity.

At the Grand Canyon South Rim for the first time

In 2009, I met my husband who was singing country music in a Nashville honky tonk. We were married in 2010 and waited to take our honeymoon in 2013 to a place I really didn’t want to go- Grand Canyon National Park. But once I got there, the question I’d asked for so many years, “Who am I?” finally began to be answered. You can read how it happened in my post Just a Walk in the Park. We’ve been traveling to America’s national parks every year since.

What do books have to do with my travels?

I’ve been an avid reader for as long as I can remember. A book can transport me to another place, another time, to new experiences- same as traveling, but far more budget-friendly. Reading inspires me to visit new places and makes my travels even more meaningful.

Why did I start Pin Drops & Paper Trails?

To give you authentic accounts of my travels along with tips to help you get the most out of yours. Hopefully, I’ll even inspire you to travel more by reading more. Books can take you anywhere.

I hope you enjoy Pin Drops & Paper Trails! It’s nice to have you here!
