Portland Solo Weekend Trip | PDX, Oregon Travel Vlog

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!

Happy to see you back!

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

This was so calming and nice to watch!

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

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!

thank youuu for this!

Great Portland Vlog! We love 30 minutes south of Portland and haven’t really explored it. You gave me lots of places that we should try now lol. I’ve been wanting to go the Japanese Garden for a while hopefully make it there soon! Great Vlog!

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

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! 🌲❤️🏙

She makes PDX look great!

Great filming i loved the flowers

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

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

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

She’s on Northwest Glisan headed into the Pearl from Nob Hill 😃 ❤

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.

Omg you went to Never! I LOVE that coffee shop. I was just in Portland for the 4th of July weekend, absolutely love their vegan scene and thrift stores. Sucks it’s cloudy and rainy but it has to stay green somehow ;) I want to take a solo trip now! How do you do it??

Thank you
