I recently went to Portland and absolutely fell in love. Portland is an amazing city, especially at night. Cool bars and clubs everywhere you turn. All the convenience of living in a city without the big city hassles. And the proximity to so many outdoor activities, which you don’t usually get in the city, makes it one of the best places I’ve ever visited. I can’t wait to go back.

I went to Vegas for Halloween 2005 and a music festival called Vegoose. It was the wildest, most fun weekend full of fantastic music and more debauchery than most could imagine. Can’t wait for this Halloween.

I attended Newcastle Uni for a semester as an exchange student. Loved it. Nobby’s Head is one of the sweetest beaches ever!

40 miles south of Moab (head toward Monticello), take the turnoff for Newspaper Rock. It’s a short trip down into a canyon to see the rock wall covered in petroglyphs. Plenty of camping sites available near the site and if you continue on the road, you circle Moab back towards Canyonlands. Southern Utah is one of the only places left in America where you can feel the thousands of years of human history still vibrating in the air.

I love Moab. Camp out of the parks near “Castle Rock.”

I’m headed to Portland in May and can’t wait!

Town Park sits at the east end of Telluride, looking back into the Bear Creek preserve at Ballard Peak among others. In the summertime, you can find most locals hanging out, drinking beer, watching softball games, and playing horseshoes and bocce ball.
