I took these photos from a rest area along the I-5 as I was entering back into California. It started snowing in Southern Oregon as I was driving down to Oakland on Sunday, so what would have been a 9-hour drive turned into 13 hours.

Today I’m sharing with you a few photos from when I visited the Portland Night Market earlier this month. As I’ve mentioned before, I haven’t had as much time as I would like to explore and experience what Portland has to offer, so I was stoked when my friend Candace asked me to join her for this event. This was the first time this night market was held in Portland, but I hope it becomes a recurring event because it was a great way to spend a Saturday evening. I had tons of fun window shopping through all the booths, which included food, drinks, vintage clothing, accessories(check out the oversized hat modeled by Candace), and handmade gifts. Despite all the temptations surrounding me, I resisted the urge to buy a bunch of presents for myself, but I couldn’t leave the event without a delicious latte from Heart Roasters and a box of handmade truffles. After all, there’s nothing wrong with treating yourself every once in a while, right?
I have a really busy two weeks ahead of me, but I hope I can do a bit more of exploring before having to drive back down to LA. If you’re interested to see what I’m up to in real time, you can always follow me on Instagram.

Photos by me and Janista
I’m finally getting around to sharing a few photos from when I stopped in San Francisco for a day on my way up to Portland. I was fortunate to have my friend Janista as my road trip buddy for the first leg of the trip, and we had so much fun checking out The Bay area together. I would say that it’s pretty tough to explore all that San Fran has to offer in just one day, but Janista and I did a pretty good job at hitting up many of the major landmarks. That’s pretty impressive if you consider that we did it mostly on foot. We walked about eight miles that day and got a pretty good workout hiking up those hills.
