  - 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.

Off To Costa Rica

Published by Jason on December 12, 2012December 12, 2012

This Saturday I’m departing off to Costa Rica for my first solo travel adventure!

I had originally planned to go with my roommate to Costa Rica and then to Puerto Vallarta to hang out on a sailboat. However, plans changed, as they always seem to do, and now it’ll be just me, myself, and I to go on an incredible adventure.

I’m keeping it pretty light in terms of planning. I got my ticket (used airway miles I had and $50), I’ve booked my first few nights in some hostels (< $15 a night), and other than that I’m just leaving the trip open and flexible. I figure this is the best way to travel while on my own. It’ll give me a chance to not be held down by my plans and be open to meeting new people and going to random destinations with them.

If you feel like knowing my travel plans as they are planned out, go here: https://www.tripit.com/trip/public/id/18E8BC0E83ED

Pictures are soon to come after I go on this adventure, so stay tuned!
