Puddle Jumping in Portland
Blog: teach travel play - 23 January 2012
“ And the rain, rain, rain, came down, down, down, and washed right over piglet.” The capital of pork and PBR, and home to an alphabetical listing of odd from Arsenic flavored ice cream to Zealots in Zebra galoshes, Portland was the logical escape route from my life in the Middle East. I even welcomed [...]

I Choo Choo Choose You: The Joys of Traveling by Train
Blog: Broke-Ass Stuart's Goddamn Website - 12 July 2011
Summertime is Adventuretime and coincidentally, like Heidi, I have found myself in Portland. And I got here by the most delightful way, the train. (From Seattle after a plane ride from SF). I love the train, and it holds a very special place in my heart much like the US Postal system.

Spanish Liquid Sunshine from Soler Romero
Blog: Green Earth Guides ~ Traveling Naturally - 29 June 2011
Most people don't realize that Spain, not Italy, is the largest producer of olive oil in the world. Organic olive oils are becoming increasingly available and one of the largest producers of organic olive oil in Spain is the family-run Soler Romero.

Blog: First-time Traveler - 19 May 2011
It has taken me a few more days to put this together due to some late submissions and my increased work load in my day job. I couldn’t accommodate more submissions though because I have set a deadline. I hope … Continue reading →

Portland: A Budget Foodie’s Heaven on Earth
Blog: Twenty-Something Travel - 28 November 2010
I haven’t been to Oregon since I was a little kid, but this article just intensifies my suspicion that I need to get myself back there. Portland, Oregon, is a town known for its immensely reasonably standard of living. I’ve officially moved there three times over the past 10 years, but each time I move, [...]

New beergeek.TV Episode – PDX Roadtrip
Blog: thebeergeek.com - 16 October 2010
“PDX Roadtrip” is the latest episode of One Pint at a Time. We were excited to return to Portland for our ninth Oregon Brewers Festival. But with two previous beergeek.TV episodes already covering the West Coast’s best beer fest, we needed to do something different. Driving the 700 some odd miles to Portland was our [...]

Blog: Vagobond.com - 29 September 2010
Travel is about the undiscovered countries of the mind as well as the hidden nations of the soul. The Vagobond Files reveals some of the secret places I have discovered in my journeys.

Rediscovering Portland
Blog: thebeergeek.com - 5 August 2010
A lot has happened since our last visit to the Portland two years ago during the Year in Beer. Between our visits, Merideth and I have traveled to a diverse range of beer destinations and added approximately 160 breweries to our tally. Older and wiser, we had some catching up to do in the Rose [...]

Our Ninth Oregon Brewers Festival
Blog: thebeergeek.com - 29 July 2010
The 23rd edition of the Oregon Brewers Festival was our ninth. Attending six straight years at the end of the 1990s and three out of the last four years, we have seen it grow and change over the 16 year span. Changes aside, one thing remains the same: the Oregon Brewers Festival is, in my [...]

Visiting Portland with Kids
Blog: Ciao Bambino! - 13 April 2010
One visit to Portland and you’ll understand why it’s called the America’s most livable city. With its parks, festivals, waterfront and friendly demeanor, Portland has no peer. The Rose City is a perfect hub for a family with active children and teens: in little more than an hour’s drive, my son and daughter could be skiing Mt. Hood, playing on the beach, or boating in a river. Within Portland city limits, we can hike on dense forest trails, go paddling in a kayak under Portland’s famous bridges or pedal along a floating walkway.

A Port of Call
Blog: Joe's Trippin' - 16 March 2010
Being 125 kms from the ocean, one would hardly expect a city to be a major port. Portland's name is a bit of a misnomer as it was a rumoured winner of a coin toss. It could have very well been named Boston! A progressive "green" attitude is fueled by it's relatively young population.

Lady of Labor Day - Portland, Oregon
Blog: A Lady in London - 7 November 2009
Labor Day weekend took me to Portland, Oregon. Although I've lived in California for most of my life, I had never actually made it up to Portland. It was my loss. Portland is an amazing city. It is like a mix of Vancouver, Seattle, and San Francisco all in one. The city is walkable and easy to navigate, has great food, and is surrounded by amazing natural beauty.

Eat my shorts
Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 23 May 2009
I ended up going out last night with a right gimpy crowd from the hostel, all sorts of different people and nationalities. There was one posh girl from Luxembourg with a disgusting outlook on life who hadn’t been informed that the yuppy scene was cancelled many moons ago. Honestly she was like the direct female [...]

A book for a buck
Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 22 May 2009
This hostel is a bit short on livelyness (in that I’ve not made any pals to go out with so the nights are a bit dull) but it’s excellent in every other respect. You get free pizza! I’d already started cooking pasta when it turned up last night so what could I do but eat [...]
