I love to travel but don't get to do so nearly as often as I'd like to. What I've found to be almost as nice as traveling myself is to play host and/or tour-guide to cool travelers coming to my area. For me, meeting cool local folks and having them show me what they love about their area is always a highlight of my journeys!
I live in Portland, Oregon, USA, a city in the region I like to call Cascadia (basically the US Northwest and Canadian South West) which has many wonderful, extremely vegan-friendly cities and towns. Cascadia also has amazingly beautiful natural areas including ancient forests, snow-capped mountains, raging rivers, islands in many sizes and of course the Pacific Ocean. You can generally travel quite inexpensively in Cascadia and our public transportation systems are convenient and extensive.
I have traveled throughout much of the region and am fairly familiar with all of the larger cities, many smaller cities and towns and a good number of the natural areas.
As for me, I have a wide variety of interests mostly centered around travel, being outdoors and eating tasty, healthy (and of course vegan) food. I've met several folks from VF in person already and hope to meet many more of you as time goes on! And while I can rarely travel extensively, I can quite often get an afternoon, day or weekend free to hang out and show you around Portland and other parts of Cascadia! In many cases, I can offer you my home (at no charge, of course) as a place to stay while you are in Portland. Worst case scenario - even if we can't meet up I am happy to answer questions and offer suggestions!
So... Come visit me!
Also, keep an eye out for related posts from me which will be titled something to the effect of: "Can I come visit you?" and "Want to travel with me?" Any guesses what those posts will be about?
