@karensuestudios, @muffintuesday and I put Portland's good food reputation to the test by visiting a pretty popular pastries called Petunia! 

We had a great experience there and the food turned out to be a real delight. Petunia's Pie and Pastries clearly honors Portland's reputation for great food.

Portland is renowned to have one of the highest vegan restaurants per capita which is one of the reasons why Portland has me very enthused, yet after visiting many vegan places, I realize that many don't openly advertise as such and I feel like this makes it even better.

Portland is such an awesome city. It feels like the whole place is permeated by peaceful and rejuvenating vibes. I whole heartily love it.

So far, my trip has had a huge positive impact on me. Ironically, I came close to never going on that trip in large part due to human nature's tendency to stick to our habits and routine. 



Nowadays, I increasingly challenge myself and it's definitely paying off!
