Portland

OREGON

Travel: Portland, Oregon

October 19, 2018 in Travel, Personal

Portland is divided into 5 neighbourhoods or quadrants (yes, QUADrants), each with its own personality. The food scene is huge, especially the food carts and food parks all around the city. Getting around by car is convenient, but biking, transit or walking in the downtown core are other options as well. Whether you spend a weekend in Portland or explore the rest of the beautiful Oregon coast, there should be something for just about everyone.

What to eat

First stop: The famous Nong's Khao Man Gai

Hainanese chicken rice (really, any variation of this) is of my favourite dishes.

Mount Tabor is a mountain and park within the city. It’s great for running, hiking, picnics or seeing the city from afar.

I love that @creativedesigntherapy didn&rsquo;t shy away from contrast for this bathroom. The vanity and shower tiles lean into the light and dark theme, topped off with black wall lights and hardware.

It&rsquo;s nice to see a condo exterior that has shape and colour. It&rsquo;s much more interesting visually and adds variety to the Toronto skyline. This is Aqualuna by @tridelcommunities. I drive by sometimes, but finally walked by to see it up clo
@creativedesigntherapy completely updated the inside of this home from top to bottom and the kitchen + dining area got some much needed love.

The two are next to each other in an open space, making it easy to move back and forth with food + drinks.
