I'm planning to make it to Portugal in the next year or so. Absolutely stunning. Do the winters get very cold?

This is a great list, thank you for sharing it. Sometimes I feel tentative about sharing,following, saying to much. It's simply gotten so much more hard to believe than I ever imagined it could. ❤️

I've gotten so close, but yet to actually visit Portugal. I must, I MUST go! It looks incredible and the stories I've heard from friends who have been, can't stop talking about it. It's on my list for certain.

​This is beautiful. It's so true—finding those places that just make you feel grateful to be there is the best part of the adventure. We'll have to add North Devon to our list!

Haha!! That's so great. It looks like they are directing the shoot. I'm on the GC of Oz now actually, Saw a kookaburra on my walk with my father-in-law yesterday. They are quite interesting in their own right aren't they?

Stunning. Oregon is an amazing and magical place. Proud to call it home.

This story is about that exchange. I'd love to hear your thoughts. When has a journey given you back more than it took?

Since a was a kid growing up in the Midwest i was always drawn to the sea and to mountains. No surprise I ended up in Oregon. What's your favorite part?

Incredible how fast they fixed that. Says a lot about the host, but I'm guessing it also says a lot about how you both handled it. A little grace under pressure goes a long way in situations like that.
