We all have something in our lives that we want to do yet haven’t done.  There is that one thing that we continue to make excuses for and will never make any progress unless we embrace a shift in thinking.  For me, this thing is traveling abroad.  For the last few years, and the last few months in particular I have had a strong urge to spend time traveling, and experience things outside of the tiny little town of Portland.  However, I obviously haven’t much of that.  What is holding …

Throughout the course of my life I have had no shortage of things to keep me busy.  When I was younger I balanced tennis lessons every day after school, with learning to play guitar and skiing on the weekends.  Not to mention wanting to go rock climbing with friends, and take as many trips as possible.  There was always something going on.  One of the biggest problems I face in life is my general interest in doing new things.  It doesn’t take much for me to get excited about something, …

I would like to preface this review with the fact that this is the FIRST product review I have ever done on this site.  This is mostly due to the reason that I don’t want to review anything I can’t stand behind 100%.  There ARE affiliate links in this post, but don’t feel any pressure to use them.  I wouldn’t recommend anything I don’t fully believe in, and I truly feel that this is very valuable information.

I’ve never really hung out with people my age. This might stem from my early days of employment, back when I was 14 and spending all my time with the 20-something ladies that were my coworkers at this indy bookstore down the street from my school.
Regardless of why I did it, being more or …

First off, the title may be slightly misleading as I have yet to monetize this blog in any way, shape or form.  Not a single cent has touched my bank account, and  I know very little about blog monetization, nor have I had much interest in the concept up until this point.  However,  I want to be very forthcoming with my goals and intentions regarding Location180 because I don’t want anyone to feel as if they have been mislead, duped, or talked into buying something they really didn’t want.
My absolute …

While I am the first person to admit that I am far from an experienced traveler, I have been to more places than many.  As I am currently looking forward to all of the places that I would like to go, I couldn’t help but look back at some of my favorite places that I have already been.  Covering the spectrum from wild and rowdy, to relaxed and subdued, here is the list of my top five favorite travel destinations.
#5: Las Vegas, Nevada
Las Vegas is a city …

Recently I have found myself slightly overwhelmed. This is the first time in my life where I have been unsure of what is next. All through grade school and high school, I always knew what was coming. After eighth grade, comes ninth. I had known since I was 12 which college I would be attending. Six months before graduation, I had a job fall in my lap. Everything has always been easy.

Fast forward to now. I …

On the night of September 12th 2007 I sat tucked away in an isolated office in the basement of an abandoned building and waited for the clock. I had been sent to the hospital’s East Campus — a building that formerly housed the mentally unstable but now contained marketers and designers …
