Over View

Portland is the largest city in Oregon, famous for its eco-friendliness, microbreweries, and coffee culture. It sits in the shadow of Mount Hood and is known for its lush green parks and roses (the “City of Roses”). Portland prides itself on being unconventional, with the slogan “Keep Portland Weird.” It is a haven for cyclists, book lovers (home to Powell’s City of Books, the largest independent bookstore in the world), and foodies, particularly known for its vast array of food trucks. It offers a progressive, counter-cultural vibe mixed with Pacific Northwest ruggedness.
