  - IcelandThis country is breathtakingly beautiful. I drove around the entire country from Reykjavik, around the Golden Circle, and continuing onto the Ring Road. My favorite sections were the South West, the South and the East. 1600+ miles of driving, 100+ miles of hiking, dozens of waterfalls, many hot springs, and very friendly people. Everything is pretty expensive there, but other than that, it is by far one of my favorites.

      - SayulitaThe last time I went to Sayulita was during a five-day trip at the end of January 2020 for my girlfriend’s 29th birthday surprise. It was epic for the short time we were there. It is definitely a town that I could get behind as it is very festive. The next time I have planned to go to Sayulita is early January of 2021 for an entire month. Funny enough, the last time I was in a commercial airport was that trip I mentioned above. I’ve never gone an entire year only stepping into a commercial airport once. Oh, PDX airport, and flying around in general, how I miss thee!!

      - PortlandPortland is the place I’ve called home for the last eight years. I’ve lived in most of the four areas that break up Portland, so I’ve got a lot of info for those looking to explore. Though I do plan to live in some other part of the world some day, separating from Portland is no easy task!

    - New YorkNew York – for quite a while, I had only ever been to New York City in New York, however, now I can say I’ve had a chance to spend some time in Upstate New York, in Corning. I came here for the TBEX conference and was surprised with how wonderful this little town is in the Finger Lakes area – a much-desired change to the “Big City.”.

- South America
  - ChileMy time in Chile was spent enjoying walking around Santiago, enjoying the beaches/nightlife/new years in Valparaiso, to getting as far south as I’ve ever been to enjoy the gorgeous views of Patagonia. Enjoyed a four day backpacking trip around the W of Torres Del Paine. Very friendly locals, good exchange rate from the US, and delicious wine and coffee everywhere I went. My first experience of South America and I was blown away by how great it was. Would go back again in a heart beat.

Fijitime: Bula!!!

Published by Jason on February 4, 2014February 4, 2014

Sitting here at Bamboo Travellers eating breakfast thinking about the time I’ve had in Fiji and it’s hard to put it into words.

I’ve loved it here and would definitely come back again. Let me give you a run down.

Arrived to Fiji
Stayed at Wailoaloa Beach Resort (not near the beach!)
Met up with Melanie and booked a trip to the Yasawa islands and my shark dive
Left on a boat to Nambua Island
Played a lot of cards due to the rainy weather, but it was awesome
Camera was soaked in water (not working still, so sad)
Boat trip to Beachcomber where I had too many Bounty rum and cokes
Boat to Mana beach
Went to Castaway Island (not sure the real name)
Left Mana back to Nadi
Took a long bus to Uprising Resort
Dove with huge bull sharks (some around 4 meters!!!)
Bus to Bamboo where I am now and about to depart to Hawaii

You should go to Fiji!
