Living in Oregon has many advantages that other States just don’t have. One of my favorite things about this state is being able to drive out of Portland, and in about 2 hours you can either go surfing on the Oregon coast or snowboarding at Mt. Hood. In this day and age, you can even [...]

Is Hawaii Over Rated?
Besides the bugs in Central America, there’s a big difference between the beaches of Belize, Mexico and Costa Rica versus the Islands of Hawaii.

Viva La Mexico !
Sounds similiar to Amersterdam and I’m not sure if I would like to see it happen in the USA… But last week Mexico decided to pass a new law that legalizes small amounts of marijuana, heroin, cocaine, LSD, hallucinogenic mushrooms and peyote.

No Ka Oi, Everyday.
