PORTLAND

I made this lil beauty! it's an all vegan burger. yum!

On NYE, we came across this gem of a man whilst our way to the party we were attending. Those pants are insanely perfect! and he did a whole photoshoot with me!

Portland is a magical wonderland filled of friends, herbal remedies abound, really really healthy delicious food everywhere, the best beer around (eh, not the Old German pictured above), good and super cheap shows, and and and!!! All in all, its home. I LOVE THIS CITY!

Las Vegas!

Last days in Tokyo

These aren't the best, but I did have the most fantastic last two weeks in Tokyo before I left. I cannot even begin to explain my head space with leaving Japan and coming back to the states a year and a half later...but I'm going with it. and everything is just fitting appropriately into its place. Things I miss the most from Japan: convenience stores, trains, rainbow colored cuteness everywhere, "life is weird" echoed in my mind daily, underground surprises that were afforded to me by the kindness of some very gracious hosts.

Onward and Forward

In 6 days I will be embarking on my next worldly international adventure to ARGENTINA!

I have a very tiny tiny amount of anxiety, but I think I'm just confusin' it with the intense feeling of AMAZINGNESS that is soon to be enveloping me whilst between the bustlin' streets of Buenos Aires, tango dancers, supremacy with yoga/meditation, growing some veggies, milking some cows, chants of hare krishna, blindness from sunshine, trekking it across the country alone, eating copious amounts of the best steak on earth, earthen building from the likes of my own hands, the most magnificent waterfalls in this universe, ETC ETC ETC!

I AM THE LUCKIEST GIRL!

Jessica, my best friend and partner in all things, and I will depart Portland on February 2nd at 6:55 am (ouch!)

Life is radical, Portland was SUNNY today (and actually has been for the past few days), I am surrounded by beams and beams of LOVE from family and friends.
