What more can I say about Portland, Oregon? One of my favorite cities in the U.S. (alongside San Diego). Needing an escape from the East Coast (still love you New York), I ventured off to The City of Roses during the last week of June.

I spent many evenings sitting out on sandy beaches, on surfboards, or hill tops; and gazing off into the distant horizon. With… Read More »
Well, I’m finally back from an awesome surf trip through Central America, and glad that I did it. Took me a couple weeks to come out of my “withdrawal mode“, and slowly realize I’m back in first world USA. With that said, apologies for lack of updates on this blog. I guess I was having… Read More »
