I packed my bags for Paris recently when Clotilde and I decided to trade apartments. I went to Paris, she came to San Francisco. I thought you might enjoy seeing some pictures and reading a list of highlights from the trip.

People ask me where I like to eat in San Francisco quite a lot, so I thought I'd start compiling a list of some of my everyday favorites. I've organized them roughly by neighborhood, and hope that some of you can add to my list with some San Francisco favorites of your own.

Wayne and I took a two week trip to Japan in Feb/March 2009. We spent one week in Tokyo and one week in Kyoto and Koyasan. This post lists many of the highlights - places we visited, cafes and restaurants we explored - many vegetarian, macrobiotic, or shojin-ryori.

All of the fantastic suggestions and recommendations you gave me before I visited Tokyo and Kyoto.

Portland is a great city, I'd like to try to get there more often - it's just a short flight from San Francisco. Here are a few highlights and pictures (and general itinerary) from our last Portland, Oregon get-away.

I received and email from someone who was having a hard time eating healthy while traveling for work. It can be tough. I started this post suggesting a few of my tips and tricks for healthy eating on the road, but once you read those be sure to check out the 100+ ideas you all contributed in the comments, fantastic.

A whirlwind trip to Chile and Argentina with my friends Gwen and Mai. From Santiago to Buenos Aires - and dozens of wineries and restaurants in between, I returned with a notebook full of notes, stories, and recipe ideas.

Rome, Italy is at the top of my list of cities I love. Here's a list of some of my favorite things I experienced on a recent trip to Rome - food, farmers markets, and frozen treats.

A short video of a night hike to the top of Adam's Peak (Sri Pada). From a trip we took to Sri Lanka in 2004.

We spent four weeks exploring the north island of New Zealand - two of those weeks were spent a camper van. Here are a few snapshots and glimpses into that adventure.

I spent a week in Puglia, Italy - which is very different from all the other regions in Italy I've visited. Olive trees, new friends, chats with local fisherman, and side-trips to artisan bakers.
