Last year, I discovered an online community dedicated to penny-pinching backpackers who can request to be hosted by their fellow travelers—for free—in the cities they're going to visit. It's called Couchsurfing.

Oly and the Emerald City pt. 2
by Matt Dela Peña
We spent our third and final day together as a group in Olympia. In the morning, we hiked around a nearby forest which had a muddy trail that led to a rocky beach perched on the coast of Puget Sound. I can't remember the name of the park but it was nice.

For this year's spring break, the gang had originally planned to go to Silverwood Theme Park in Idaho, but the idea ultimately failed when we found out that the park wasn't even going to be open during that week. As a result, we each ended up making separate plans. However, most of us did manage to agree upon a group trip to Washington, and spend the first weekend of spring break at Josie's house in good ol' rural Olympia.

When I root, I root for the Timbers!

The world gives us a ton of crap for being the only country in the world that doesn't embrace soccer. However, it's pretty likely that these, for the lack of a better word, arrogant European soccer fans haven't been to Portland, Oregon. Well, Portland is home to the MLS team Portland Timbers, whose fan base, the so-called Timbers Army, can rival that of any team in the Champions League.

If you're looking to settle a sweet tooth craving and experience one of the more hip, metropolitan-Euro-Asian fusion parts of Portland at the same time, then look no further than in Beaverton, a town just west of downtown.
