  - 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.”.

  - 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.

New Zealand: Airport Sleeping

Published by Jason on January 8, 2014January 8, 2014

I took off from Cairns at 12pm yesterday. After two flights, I finally made it to New Zealand around 12am (no, it wasn’t 12 hours of flying). I didn’t book a place to stay as I decided to save some bucks and sleep at the airport. Well, they actually had a lounge setup for those who were needing to get some sleep. Sadly though, the lounge was only open until 5:30am and the bus I need to catch into Christchurch city wasn’t until 7:30am. I really would have enjoyed that extra bit of sleep, but oh well, I’m up already.

Now to explore New Zealand!
