For the fifth installment of our Journeys photo essay series we follow along with Shwood Collaborator Jess Bianchi on a road trip from San Francisco to Oregon. Jess and his friend Emily drive his van along Highway 101 on the way up– pulling over to camp, search for waves, explore the redwoods, and truly experience the majestic stretch of coastline. Jess offers an interesting perspective on the changing of climates and the unique beauty of the Pacific Northwest having grown up on the island of Kaua’i.
