I have been back in my home in Columbus for five months. I still have blank walls and empty photo frames. I simply cannot decide which of my thousands of photos I want on my walls. So I need your help. And I want to give you something in return. Help me pick my prints […]
Why you should always have $20 cash and other lessons from my car-free lifestyle
My attempt at living a car-free lifestyle in the US has hit an early challenge. Since I would be giving up my virtual office to go back to the corporate world, I knew that my work commute would be the biggest challenge to a car-free lifestyle. So I made a career decision that would give […]
Italian Flavors and Ohio Ingredients in a German Village
When I announced the end of my travel sabbatical, I said that I wanted to explore my hometown. I have to admit that between my trips to Maine, Seattle, Portland, and St. Louis, and working a full-time office job again, there is not a whole lot of time left for exploring new things in Columbus […]
Coolest playground ever… for adults too!
Rease raves about the City Museum. After my visit, I am ready to claim it to be the coolest thing in St. Louis and the coolest playground I have ever seen. The City museum is so unique and can by enjoyed by kids and adults. But if you don’t like kids running around, I recommend […]
Surprise! St. Louis has good beer
I have to be honest. I wasn’t expecting much of St. Louis. The Taste of St. Louis exceeded my expectations. Rease had mentioned some breweries, and I did some research of my own. Turns out St. Louis has some good beer. We visited three breweries (yep, in a weekend). Here are my two favorites. Six […]
Tasty St. Louis
Why did I spend a weekend in St. Louis? If you look at my photos, you might think my reason was to eat and drink. But my real reason was to visit Rease. You may remember her as my wino buddy in Buenos Aires. But yeah, we ate and drank a lot too 🙂 The […]
Knead: Local is Delicious
I recently wrote about how much I love Portland and perhaps made it seem like I’m down on Columbus. Don’t get me wrong. Columbus still has a lot of great stuff. That’s why I call the city home. Although it is not quite at the level of Portland, Columbus is making a lot of gains. […]
If Portland is weird, then so am I
During my short time in Portland, I have fallen in love with this city. I keep asking myself what is so special about this place and these people? I think I finally have it. The things that make me weird in Ohio are mainstream and fully embraced in Portland. Bike culture My friends are […]
Is Portland the Foodie Capital of the US?
I knew that Portland is into local, fresh ingredients, which are readily available. But what they do with those ingredients is impressive. You can find everything from authentic Mexican to classic French cuisine. You can choose from dining at a food cart, a café, or a restaurant with a James Beard award-winning chef. There are […]
Bike + Map + Camera = A Photography Adventure in Portland
Another thing I love about Hotel Monaco is that they have complimentary bikes for guests. As you know, a bike is my preferred method of transportation now that I am living car free in the US. Having access to a bike also helps save money while traveling. That means I have more money to spend […]
