Welcome to Gulf Coast Journeys! We are so excited you have joined us in exploring the amazing Gulf Coast.
We fell in love with Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, Alabama, during our first trip to the area. We kept looking at each other and saying "We could live here".
Fast forward 6+ years and we finally live on the Gulf Coast. We moved from snowy Spokane, Washington to the beautiful Gulf Coast to enjoy warmer weather, great food, and new destinations to explore.
We have been writing about our love of travel for more than 15 years on Tammilee Tips and Park Ranger John, our first two websites.
With the big move across the country, we decided to start a third site dedicated to exploring the Gulf Coast of the United States.
There are so many amazing cities and things to see we wanted a space dedicated to sharing the beauty, great food, and southern culture.
About Tammilee
Tammilee started her 1st website Tammilee Tips after losing her corporate risk management job a couple of days before marrying John.
At the time it felt like the biggest gut punch ever losing a great job. Over time we have realized that it was the best wedding gift we were given.
Tammilee started writing about what life was like learning to cook, trying to adapt to not having a job, and her passion for traveling.
Over time Tammilee Tips has grown to reach millions of readers around the world. Tammilee is really excited to continue sharing her passion for travel and food on Gulf Coast Journeys.
About John
John was a park ranger for 20 years and loves exploring national parks, state parks, wildlife refuges, and outdoor recreation.
One of the best parts of the move was John being able to retire and work full time on the websites.
