Keep Portland Weird

Posted on April 26, 2016December 11, 2020 by KK

If you took Austin, shrunk it, surrounded it with lush greenery, put a snow-capped mountain in the backdrop, added convenient public transportation, added light rain, and threw in a beautiful beach just outside the city which required a scenic drive to get to, you’d get Portland. It had that laid-back weird eccentric vibe, much like…

The Cenotes

Posted on January 8, 2016December 11, 2020 by KK

Underground pools of fresh, clear, cold water. Stalactites and stalagmites. Fish. It’s quite another experience swimming in a cenote. It’s recommended during the hottest and sunniest hours of the day though, because the sunlight that penetrates the holes in the roof is the only element warming up the waters. Cenotes come in all varieties. The…

The caviar of the Aztec empire. That’s what they’re calling “escamoles” or ant larvae. Cooked in a buttery sauce and priced the same as actual caviar (not that I would know), escamoles is a delicacy that one has to hunt around a little bit for around Mexico City. Or visit one of the restaurants listed…

Although I recognized her name and have seen multiple pictures of her work, usually self-portraits complete with unibrow and colorful dresses, I never actually paid close attention to who she was and why she was such a big deal. They even made a movie about her,…

Montreal et Quebec City

Posted on May 30, 2015December 11, 2020 by KK

Me: “Bonjour”Them: “Yes, can I help you?”Me: “Uh yes…can I get combo #1 please… Merci.” I wanted to impress the locals with my rudimentary command of French but in the end, nobody had time to entertain a tourist. They just want to do their jobs and get on with life. Fair enough. Unless I was…

Puerto Rico

Posted on September 10, 2014December 11, 2020 by KK

Up until this point, my blog has always been about my long-term trips (2010-2011 RTW and 2014 South America) but I plan on writing about places that I visited the last few years and really enjoyed but never got a chance to highlight. Forgive me as I write from memory. Flashback to January 2013. I…
