GO. EXPLORE.
PAY ATTENTION.
You never know what you’ll find.
not your typical path
I tend to notice things.
Interesting people. Unusual places. Ordinary things with stories I didn’t expect.
Sometimes I find them while traveling. Sometimes they’re much closer to home.
Usually it starts with something that makes me stop and wonder.
So I ask questions. I talk to people. I follow the thread.
Sometimes I find an answer. Sometimes I discover I had it completely wrong.
And sometimes I find a story I wasn’t looking for at all.
Those are the ones I like best.
People, places, experiences, questions—and the stories behind them.
I’m Michelle Eidam, a writer based in Bend, Oregon. Not Your Typical Path is where I write about what I find along the way.
Less scrolling. More stories worth telling.
Find places that make you forget what time it is.
