Some of the most famous are @folkmagazine, @livefolk, @socality.

Yesterday I’ve stumbled upon a hilarious account, Socality Barbie, that makes fun of all those PNW young wanderers. I’ll talk about it at the end of this article, BUT FIRST let me take a selfie let’s start with the basics:

WHAT’S THE PNW AND WHAT ITS HIPSTERS DO

PNW is the acronym for Pacific Northwest, an area in North America that includes Oregon, Washington state and part of British Columbia, Canada. And it gave birth to an #authentic lifestyle right on Instagram. This adventurous way of living takes in account photos of mountains, specifically the Rocky Mountains (“Rockies”), lakes such as the famous Moraine Lake in BC and roads and bridges surrounded by green pines and fog.

The popular Rowena Crest, also called #thatpnwroad, is one of the most photographed view points… and just by looking at the photos, we can’t blame hipsters for it:

Another oh-so-cool place to take photos of is the Vance Creek Bridge, a bridge now closed because of the great affluence during the last years (and maybe because it’s dangerous, just sayin’). But this hasn’t stopped the wanderers from adventuring there:

HOW TO BE A PNW HIPSTER

Do you really want to be one of them? Are you ready to spend Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter and your mom’s birthday with some peaks ‘n lakes?

  1. Spend 90% of your time on the mountains
  2. Spend the remaining 10% taking pictures of your Daniel Wellington
  3. Make coffee on the mountains
  4. Read Kinfolk magazine
  5. Wear enormous hats while looking at mountains
  6. Wrap yourself up with a Native American blanket while looking at the mountains
  7. Start a business with your graphic designer-photographer-friend. Of any kind: a company that makes leather mug sleeves, or a clothing line like  Wish You Were Northwest. Just remember to use words like “Donuts” “Mountains” and “Coffee”
  8. Get a feature on @folkmagazine 
  9. Camp. Every day. Every month. Christmas included.
  10. Go kayaking
  11. Be #grateful, #blessed and #thankful for the place you live in
  12. Wear leather boots
  13. Bring a huge backpack but not one of those Northface backpacks. A Herschel-kind-of-backpack can do the job.

But what’s up with the account I was talking about at the beginning? It’s a parody account called @socalitybarbie that takes the PNW lifestyle to another level: the Barbie level. Captions, hashtags and photos are amazingly curated by some genius and they perfectly recreate the hipster-vibe of the Pacific Northwest:

You can’t make coffee at home. You have to earn it. You have to work your ass off:

 

Huge ice cream cone, soft colors and the wall of a cozy coffee shop with a typography logo. BOOM:

 

Of course Barbie reads Kinfolk:

 

Hat, eyeglasses, Vance Creek, THIS IS EVERYTHING:

 

For the ones not really into travels and photography, you might have learned something new today (you’re welcome). On the other hand, if you were already familiar with this trend, I hope I gave you an idea of the most beautiful places in the PNW. Even though I’d change the hashtag  “#authentic” with “#thosephotosareallthesame”, I’d also love to visit those places. Any millennial here wants to go? I’ll pack my Timberland (too popular maybe?) and some blankets. #NorthWestIsBest
