- After flying in and out of Portland a couple of times over the past few years, I decided it was about time I stopped for a little bit to explore. What an eclectic and unique city! I hope you enjoy coming along with me as I bike and eat my way around town. Thanks for watching ❤︎

Thank you for sharing your perspective on Portland. As an Oregon native I would be hesitant as a solo female to explore downtown Portland. The magnitude of the homeless population is staggering. Powells is a treasure in the city. My family can make a full day of exploring their book selection. ❤
Sadly this issue is not unique to Portland as the growing mental health crisis in the world affects so much. Hoping for better days for all ❤️
Portland is not Detroit. It doesn't even make the top ten US cities for crime. I can't wait to come back.
I am moving to Portland this week...I used to live in Seattle, I assume they are similar. Are there many seafood restaurants there?

@@johnnyg1933 I used to live on the other side of Puget Sound and found downtown Portland and downtown Seattle to be very similar. My favorite seafood restaurant in Oregon is called Local Ocean and is on the coast.
i have to say, i’ve watched you for so long & i know you don’t often read comments (at least from what i remember) - but it’s so amazing to see you so fulfilled and happy.
i also really appreciate that you have such a pure approach to your travels and really embrace the specific locations niche & personality. it’s refreshing and so so nice to see! ❤
I do my best to keep up with comments. Sometimes it takes me a bit of time to get to them. I’m so happy you enjoy the vids. Thanks for watching ❤️
Your video came up on my suggested videos and the title Portland caught my eye so I watched. I am a single female who lives and works in Downtown Portland. There are definitely areas and people around that can be sketchy but following your gut and getting out of a situation that you don’t feel safe in is the best advice. I love living in Portland and refuse to give up on it. It was nice to see Portland through someone else’s eyes. Hope you had a good time!
Thank you for sharing your experience and tips! I agree - anywhere we are, following our gut is smart 👍
Lived in beautiful Oregon for 17 years and moved away 11years ago…it’s really sad to see what Portland has become.
There’s still a lot of beauty there ☺️
@@WithWonder Yes agreed, the social issues just sadden me. We used to live in an area called Bald Peak outside Hillsboro. On a clear day, one could see five mountains from our hazelnut/walnut farm: St. Helen’s, Hood, Ranier, Adams, and Jefferson. It was paradise on earth and we started our family and had 5 children there. Oregon is always close to my heart. ❤️
I just realized…we were likely there at the same time! We left the area to go south between the 18-20th, can’t remember the exact date. Darn! Would have loved to see you in person
I missed that you were here! I live 20 min west of Portland. The river is pronounced will lam it. (Emphasis on 2nd syllable)
Portland is more densely forested than Seattle where I relocated from. tons and tons and tons of trees all over the city.
I’ve lived in Portland for about 3.5 years now! About 15 min walk west of Powell’s is the neighborhood I live in- the NW/Nob Hill area. Lots of cute shops and cafes here, and it’s next to two beautiful and large parks with trails that you should check out next time! Portland’s strength isn’t in its downtown, but the different unique neighborhoods on both sides of the river. Lots of pockets with great bars and shopping and food! On a clear day you would have had a stunning view of mount hood from the riverfront!
Love your travel vlogs so much! Doing things alone is magic😊
So true! 👌✨❤️
that little wagon by the bed! How clever is that!!!! I love it!!
Right?!
I was also in Portland back in October! Was there for a conference but had some time to explore the city by myself. I loved it. Coming from LA, the homelessness situation wasn’t much different. But I was cautious and alert like at any trip I take. I did a ghost tour of the downtown area and it was really fun.
In my era in Vancouver the homelessness was intense too. Thank you for this insight into Portland. ** Wondering what you may have on the cards for 2024 and appreciate this is maybe out of your interest but would love to also see places such as Santa Barbara and towns set up for cycling and beautiful places in the USA. Those hidden or not-so-hidden gems. Thank you for all your work this year showing us an amazing world !!
I’ve heard that about Vancouver too. I never made it into the downtown area there so I didn’t see it so much. Sadly, homelessness is on the rise in many places 😕
i’m a long time viewer and a portland native and i just want to point out for other commenters the area around downtown and especially the downtown voodoo donuts is definitely among the worst of portland’s homelessness crisis. all the services are there and transit so it makes sense. further out it is much calmer and feels more safe! there is homelessness everywhere here and it’s hard to ignore but it also has lovely pockets. just wanted to offer another perspective! 💖
It truly is a beautiful city and I’m glad I got to spend a little time there. Homelessness is not unique to Portland certainly. There are beautiful and challenging aspects of any place. What a great place to call home!
What a great video!
Thank you! ☺️
I have been wanting to visit Portland also for awhile Oregon in general the coast looks beautiful love you're vlogs you are inspiring day tours are a must as a solo traveler to really experience a place learn the history and culture of where you're visiting 😊
I hope you get the chance! Absolutely love Bend as well, but the coast is where it’s at IMHO 👌
I would LOVE to go to Portland one day. Next time you gotta check out the Japanese Garden and the Beverly Cleary Sculpture Garden
Portland was so nice back in 2015. one of the BEST places in the US to live but now i would frankly be afraid to walk around the city. it's really a shame
I’m not sure when you came to Portland, but I’m glad you enjoyed yourself.
Hi! Watching this from Salem, Oregon. I’ve enjoyed watching your videos.
Thanks for watching! Oregon is a vibe ✨
Nice video!
I was in Boston in October and there was a protest. Nothing happened to us but yes it’s a bit scary when you are a tourist and aren’t familiar with the area.
It’s a lot to experience!
I know you are probably no longer in the area but if you go back You should check out the surrounding areas of Portland. I spent my first 40 years in Hillsboro Oregon and Now live in Michigan (since 2000) Portland is not the same city I grew up in. Locals don't even go Downtown if they don't have to. Very Sad!
I hope to return to Oregon and again someday! Thanks for the recs 👍
Thank you for sharing your experience in Portland! I live just outside of Portland and glad to see your experience was positive overall. Always cool to see RUclipsrs I have watched for years travel around the place I call home :)
PS - Willamette is pronounced "Will-AM-ette" :)
Jen, come to Portland Maine!! Let me know when you’re coming!
I’d love to! ❤️
Come and do a tour of London!
I’ll be right there! (Maybe later than sooner but one day!) 😎
Oregon is my home town state its the most beautiful state . Portland used to be the absolute most beautiful fun city . But now its tragic and so sad . We have lost soo much of our beautiful city to drugs and homelessness 😢. Hopefully someday we will get our city back. I live near the gorge so its a different life now days compared to Portland. So sad
The mental health crisis has a large ripple effect. Hoping for better days ahead for all ❤️
Thanks Jen....never been to Portland so thanks for the sneak peek.....that's an adorable place you stayed. You bring such motivation and I am so proud of you doing all you do.....with that said, keep being safe. Merry Christmas Jen! Can't wait for your next video!
I’m glad you enjoyed the vlog! ☺️
We lived in Washington State for a few years and traveled down to Portland, Oregon. The population of homelessness is ever growing. It's sad how the governing individuals of Oregon (as well as Washington State and California) turn a blind eye to all the homelessness and drugs.
Cool story mom
PNW hotel over here!! PDX had changed so much 😢
Thank you so much for posting your adventures! I just signed up for my first solo (woman). Trip to Europe 😊 I’m so excited! Thank you for inspiring me!! I also did some solo hiking this past weekend thanks to you!!
That sounds amazing! Wishing you a magical adventure ✨
It’s so unfortunate the homeless crisis is getting so bad everywhere. Portland and the Vancouver area have some of the worse I’ve seen. You’ll have to go back to the Portland area and visit some of the waterfalls there. Some of them are quite spectacular.
I heard about them on the tour. Sounds amazing! I didn’t have time to explore more of the outskirts but must return!
I’m just loving all these adventures. Was that garlic pretzel delicious? It looked yummy❤❤
Yes it was! 😋
You really have a knack of making every place look even more beautiful. Never knew Portland was this beautiful. Even when its cloudy, your personality brightens it up. You find the cutest Air B n Bs, with such unique interiors just like your home. Do you take back the leftovers from the restaurants?
Wow, thank you! I’m happy you enjoy the vids. I bring food back when it makes sense based on where I’m heading next.
Portland has a horrible homeless problem and it's not safe there at all in alot of places. The Saturday market is one of the best. Get an Elephant ear.
One time we were standing outside of voodoo and a guy walked up to us and put his finger in my son’s friend’s mouth.😮
Oh my gosh! I hope they were ok
My sister lived in Portland for 13 years until 2021. It's not what it once was. And it's very sad the Liberal leaders have allowed it. Her car was TOTALED while parked on a downtown street due to a PEACEFUL PROTEST. She worked in a clinic as a RN and provided care for a lot of those who are living on the streets. Hard Pass!!!!
Oof, that’s hard. I’m sorry she had to go through that and hope she found a new home that suits her ❤️
My friend's sister was traumatized when her car was attacked by a homeless man while stuck in traffic in downtown Portland-they sold their business and relocated to another state. Not a place I would roam around alone
I’m sorry to hear about their scary experience and hope they found a home they feel safe in now ❤️
