Suggestions from a local:
Morning city hike- Lower Macleay Trail or hike up to Council Crest from downtown for a longer hike
Garden- the Japanese garden is beautiful, but expensive. If you visit in the summer, the Rose garden is free and lovely.
Coffee- Fehrenbacher Hof in Goose Hollow if you want an old school Portland experience; Deadstock Coffee for something more contemporary
If you prefer tea, I love Tea Chai Té on NW 23rd, but it is not handicap accessible FYI
Bookstores other than Powell’s if that would be too overwhelming- Daedalus Books in NW or Mother Foucault’s in SE
Lastly, if you have access to a car & love a unique old school diner, Skyline Diner is a favorite. For something a bit nicer, Ox or Tusk are both great choices (and both on the East Side).

i’m going on a solo trip to oregon in september and this really made me less nervous about going alone. thank you for being so raw. good luck on future travels!

If you're at Screen Door or Pine State I'd suggest following it up with a walk or bike ride, maybe along the waterfront or just through the neighborhoods near Hawthorne. Very peaceful, and everyone is so conscientious about taking care of their gardens! Also keeps you from falling over and going into a Chicken and Waffles food coma

Thank you for exploring my home town and showing it in a positive light. One suggestion: Spend a few moments letting us know your impressions of the food you stop for. Good, bad or indifferent it’s helpful to know how it is. Looking forward to you next adventures.

Love this, I just got back from Portland today, I didn’t know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. It’s a magical city, surrounded by beautiful nature, amazing hikes, there is even a volcano that once you reach the top they have a piano overlooking the city, that you can play. Portland is a quiet, calm, safe and peaceful city; everyone was welcoming, friendly and respectful and everyone seemed peaceful. It’s a clean city and I felt completely safe to walk my friend’s dog, at 2am, in his neighborhood. I spent 4 days there and I was even invited to join board game nights and softball games. I loved it so much that I’m even thinking about moving there after graduation 😍 Thank you Portland for giving me such a warm welcome!

I'm planning a weekend solo trip to Portland next month. This really helped me get a general idea of what to expect. Thanks!

You went to all my favorite spots!! Haha almost every place you mentioned I’ve put in my PDX videos. It’s crazy how similar PDX is to SF! I moved last year and it’s nice to not feel too home sick now. And omg right pdx public transportation is so impressive! I don’t have a car here still!

[mwameennabiila]

would you mind sharing where you stayed because it looks like it was close to all the fun places you visited. Thank you!

Great video! Thank you for representing our city in a positive way! There are too many people spreading negative sentiments about Portland. The city has its problems, some very significant, but there’s also a lot to love about this great city! 🌲❤️🏙

Im glad i found this video, I can recognize some of the spots from when I went to Portland a few years ago. I drove there from Northern California, took like ten hours to get there, but I don't think Ive ever been as happy as I was when I got to the bridges on I5 entering the city.

Since I literally don't care about my own well-being, i went for a hike in Forest park at night (definitely got lost for a bit), i got some really good photos from a big red drawbridge thats near downtown too. This video makes me want to go again lol

[ajgomez]

I’ve been fantasizing about living in the PNW forever, never been to Seattle or Portland. I’d love to know which you prefer and why

[floridamom]

Lovely and informative video. Will be there in a week and your video suggestions are most helpful!

[bbyangleceramics]

This was so calming and nice to watch!

[RodsTechout]

great video! taking a solo trip there in 3 weeks (i’ve never been) but somethings been calling me there

[JustZuber]

No Sales Tax, Stunning Hikes, and Great Food. Also Highly Recommend the Japanese Garden for anyone Visiting

[jaredcwhite]

I moved here to Portland a few years ago and still I love it so much!! I really enjoyed your vlog and seeing the city through fresh eyes. You went to a bunch of great locations, some of which are my absolute favorites. I got a membership at the Japanese Garden because it's so wonderful just to stay there and meditate. The Lan Su Chinese Garden downtown is also a cool place to visit. Anyway, I hope you do come back soon to PDX! ✌️

[dookie]

we're planning a weekend getaway to Portland in a few weeks from now. Hopes the weather cooperates.

[johnetravels]

I enjoyed the video. I am new to vlogging, so I learned a lot from you editing style. Portland is a great town & I look forward to my visit in Jan. -- Cheers! - new sub here.

This showed up in my suggestions. It’s really nice to hear something good about my hometown. It’s been really depressing, with all the crime and such that’s been increasing over the past couple years. It seems like I only hear negative about Portland, anymore. Thanks again. For me, somehow, it’s personal.
