Heading North!

Hey! Welcome to my formerly abandoned travel blog! Over the next couple weeks I'll be posting about an interesting adventure I'm currently experiencing: Driving up to Vancouver for the NAFSA conference followed by a tour of performances as I head back South.

Today was a long day of driving, but I did manage to enjoy it. If you've driven north on I-5, you know why. Every mile took my breath away.

I'm currently in Portland for the night. I've never been here, but I already think I'm in love. As I drove in after so many hours of travel, I was beside myself with excitement!

For various reasons, I've found myself in a hostel. The man who checked me in is named Happy and I, too, am happy, so you see, it's fitting. In the women's dorm, I connected with Barbara from New York and E.J. (I guessed her full name!) from Chicago. We had some really nice convo before turning in.

Tomorrow, I'm waking up early and trying to make the most of what remains of the Northwest Folklife Festival in Seattle. The plan is to do some street performing to promote the Seattle show the following weekend.
