Bend With long days snowboarding at Mt Bachelor, I didn’t get to see a lot of Bend. But I was impressed by what I did see. Bend is small, cute, and surrounded by gorgeous landscapes.

Snowboarding… for real!
I finally did it! I boarded on a REAL mountain. You know I travel solo a lot, and I enjoy that freedom. But there are a few trips I don’t want to do alone. One of those is a snowboarding trip. Snowboarding is more fun with a friend. Plus, there is a safety factor. Most […]

And yes, you can find it in the Urban Dictionary. In explaining the brief glimpse I got into the local culture, […]
Jamaican Food: Delicious and possibly deadly
