When I told people about the bike ride, they told me I was crazy. I didn’t even get that response when I told people I was quitting my job, getting rid of most of my possessions, and traveling solo in Latin America for over a year. Sure, people were surprised about my travel sabbatical, but […]
I have discovered my travel future
A couple months ago, I became one of the last people I know to buy an e-reader. My friend Jeff, a long-term traveler I met in Buenos Aires, told me many times how much he loves his Kindle. My response was that I prefer a paperback and didn’t want to carry another electronic device. Turns […]
The stupidest thing I did in 2012… and the photo to remember it
The theme for January seems to be about looking back. I only planned one or two posts, but I have really enjoyed bringing those memories back to the surface. I did a lot of cool stuff during two years of travel. I saw a lot of amazing places and met a lot of wonderful […]

Why you should always have $20 cash and other lessons from my car-free lifestyle

During my short time in Portland, I have fallen in love with this city. I keep asking myself what is so special about this place and these people? I think I finally have it. The things that make me weird in Ohio are mainstream and fully embraced in Portland. Bike culture My friends are […]
Me, a beer, and my goldfish
As soon as I got to Portland, I realized my days were going to be even busier than Seattle. I got a massive list of fun stuff to see and do from Bethany and Ted of Two Oregonians. I had a great discussion with Visit Portland and added more must-dos to my list. And everyone I talked […]
