  - 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.”.
    - Washington
    - Texas
- Oceania
- 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.

Epic Quest of Awesomeness

Jason Masood Barcelona

Published by Jason on April 9, 2013April 9, 2013

Thursday morning (tomorrow) I’m leaving early for Barcelona to meet up with my friend Masood. What started as an April fool’s joke has now become a chance to get back to Europe to visit Spain.

It’s quite hilarious and spontaneous how it all came together.

See, I had jokingly posted that I’m moving out of Oregon…

Well, of course, that wasn’t completely true as I wasn’t actually moving. Instead, that evening as I was hanging out with my friend Nicole trying to figure out where I wanted to go for my birthday, my friend Masood who had been in New York (an option on my list) hit me up and said he was going to Europe and that I should go. Well, after a little bit of time that evening, I said yes, I should.

So, the next day I talked to my boss and bought my first first-class ticket ($6,600 ticket I got for $150 + miles) one way to Barcelona that evening. Wow, what a crazy turn of events. I never expected I would be going to Europe for my birthday!

I’ve always wanted to go to the south of France, but never put a lot of thought into Spain until I watched a movie, Vicky Christina Barcelona–the reason this is titled Jason Masood Barcelona. Since watching it mid-March I’ve been wanting to go…and just like that, an opportunity opened up and I jumped right in!

Here’s hoping I have an amazing trip and a blast!
