I'm sure some people were waiting on this video. I moved to Portland, Oregon in 2021 and it has now been a full year since I made the move from New York. In this video, I'm sharing my thoughts on Portland thus far, the pros and cons of living in this city and what to look out for if you're thinking of moving here.

As a black man in nyc trying to move to Portland, I asked one of my friends from Portland why do you guys love hiking so much? He told me he didn’t get it as well at first too (he’s from Idaho) but when he visited “Crater Lake” he said it change him and he’s never ask why again and never will. So I guess it’s about the journey, health benefits, and what you potentially could be hiking towards that make it worth it.

One thing is for sure, I now really want to visit crater lake.

I lived near portland growing up. Always loved it. Had to move away in my mid teens and am moving back soon due to living in a bad living situation. I love my state Oregon

I'm going to be moving to the Portland area from California on the 1st of April. I'm really excited and hopefully. I'll be able to find success in the server industry as well as food. Thank you so very much for the information

Awesome vid! I know we’d all love to hear another update since you’ve been there for an extra year or so since this video was uploaded.

I grew up on the Oregon Coast and moved to Portland in '99. How early Portland closes for the most part has been a struggle. When I visited NY and Toronto I was like, everything is available all the time! This is great! Most restaurants in PDX close at 9pm on weekdays which is a bummer if you want late, late? Late night eats past 10pm. The geographic beauty of the region will always be a draw for a lot of people.
This Portlander doesn't have a Subaru but a Honda. I do have a dog....and a horse. I have Nike ACGs and Converse All Star (Bugs Bunny furry edition for his 80th bday),
Cool vid! Blessed adventures to where your life takes you!

I lived in Portland for about 10 years and you nailed it! Moved back east in 2018. But I miss it sometimes. People have dogs cuz they bark. They bark when your bike is stolen or when someone has mistaken your package on the porch for theirs. Weed stores and food trucks are mostly superb. IMHO Nice vid and thank you for entertaining me. BTW who IS Amine?

Love how honest you are in this, we’re thinking about moving to Portland but I’m honestly not too excited about it, I feel very uneasy in any space where I don’t see people that look like me and also thank you for addressing that poc comment and saying I’m black, I hate when people say poc, this is not the 60’s.

[OdeBroham]

every time you say junkies, it makes me think of them saying "walkers" in the Walking Dead 😂

[WhitmoreReads]

So much beauty in Oregon. The tents ohhhh my. I wonder how camping is.

[vihx]

I’m a Portland native and everything said is facts 🙃

[IBPaintsppp-wtou]

Thanks the video. I've been in Portland 9 years and I agree with everything. The "All out fiends" quote is great 😅

[dcoltmann]

"The Portland way, steal some wheels", you get a like for that!

[nicholascherry]

Great content Bro.. I'm a tech Bro.. Hiking is an IT person's safe space. It gets us active, moving, with less stress than lifting, with more fun. Our backs, knees, hips, are dying for us to move

[mjpearce]

Thank you !!! I am getting transferred for work and my husband and I were concerned. He is black and I am Latina and so many people have told us that there are no people of color. We are taking a trip this month to check it out like you said, wish us luck

[maggiecavanagh]

I like your vid. I live in Portland, and I see people saying its either a shit show or its amazing. It feels honest
