Portland, OR

[MistylynnAurora]

I'm moving to Portland in 4 months :)

I am so excited

This made me even more excited

[KELSCENE]

Ah yes, I miss the days when I lived in Portland and attended PSU. You are certainly on point about the people/weather/bikes/communiti­es/trees etc, I miss it everyday but I live in Seattle (where I grew up) and love it here also so no regrets. :)

Curious, why did you end up not going/living/attending school there?

[MrRuecken]

sounds like holland to me..bike wise...you would love it Jess....definitely!!!!

[YourLoveLetter]

LOL @ no razors and deodorant. Thats because of all the hippies. You should have come to Seattle. Its like Portland, but we use razors and deodorant (still rainy though). We have a large gay population as well as large Buddhist and atheist populations.

[msJumbie]

oh my god! you should totally go to school at PSU!!! I just moved to Portland 2 weeks ago and it freaking rocks! haha

[MabelTheCable]

The PSU campus is amazing, I was just there today on my daily bike ride.

[RadiantlyRissa]

I was born and raised here in Portland and I absolutely love it...everyone here is super welcoming and just makes you feel good. The LGBTQ community is highly supported and we're the top rated most bike-friendly city in the US, which is great for bikers. I love everything about it here and also how diverse it is! And even though its rainy here, in the midst of summer it is gorgeous and warm... you should come back sometime in late July, early August:)

[misspeppermintpattie]

It was my first time in Portland last May. I had so much fun because of the friendly people and a large lesbian community. I discovered a pocket size caffe called Caffe Spella & a cute barista gal works there. I went there everyday during my stay there.

I absolutely enjoy the OR coastline so beautiful. Also it's a green state and no taxes. I'm going again for my birthday in August & anxious to go again.

[grapessss]

are you still thinking about going?

[cannedkitty]

Portland is missing diversity, otherwise it would be an amazing place.

[msJumbie]

@cannedkitty how in the hell is it missing diversity?

[cannedkitty]

@msJumbie Portland: 81% white. Thats very high for a major city. And it's not that its mostly white people, its that it's mostly the same TYPE of white person (see: person in the video.) The constant mish mash of ethnicities, vibes, cultures, scenes, politlics, religions and style is something I will always miss about Los Angeles.

[Lizlaugh]

Yay Portland :]

i plan on moving there in a year and a half.

love it so much

[rocknskittles18]

Hey its so nice to hear how much people like Portland!! I recently moved out of the big city and to the country. This just makes me miss it even more :( but I also enjoy my quaint little town too. I being in Portland always brings good experiences, it always has for me!

[ArWx]

i like smell & hair :D

but rain, yeah...

[SharedHappiness]

Portland is amazing.

I know exactly what you mean about the people there.

I live in Hillsboro about an hour away from Portland but I go down there as much as possible with my friends.

It's just a great place, and it has the type of people I would like to surround myself with in College.

:)

[livi030791]

[taschenz]

ithink its supposed to be a weird spacy noissse or somthing.

[JamesInAsh]

Portland is so neat. Everyone can find a niche.

[obennett91]

[MaryneraSauce]

Portland State Is Gorgeous!

I'm a part time student there.

I love love loveee Portland. :]

[Boatchick44]

Well, I told you you could date my daughter in another segment comment, (although she's a bit young for you I think,) but now I have to say we live in Portland...and it really is Heaven!

[2wheels2four]

C'mon up! I've lived here for 18 years and loved every minute of it. It's beautiful, accepting, diverse, and politically aware. Glad you enjoyed your visit!

[gloopsvega]

[walkingThoughts]

Have you ever played the game "apples to apples?" It was in your tags-just curious-but it's super fun. Oh, and Davis, CA is an amazing bike town too!

[kottonx]

I'm 21. live in idaho right now. My parents are trying to buy a business on the oregon coast, so when i graduate college i was thinking portland would be perfect for me. so i wont be too far from my parents. plus i heard the gay community is awesome there, and i love the rain. I cant wait to move there!

[iamakinkychicken]

I want to move to Portland.. but I need to visit it first before I make a permanent decision.

[ViolentServant]

i used to live in portland, nice city. fo'sure.

[cjeanlew]

i heard somewhere that Portland has the highest number of bikes on the road out of every city in the US. not sure the stats on that... but i believe it.

once again... sexual ambiguity is beautiful and your videos make me happy. :)

[TaraThelen]

i'm told that portland is great and that it's considered hippie heaven. all i know is that their are tons of listings for graphic designers there. i have to move someday.

oh, and yeah for bikes.

[signoffs]

I bought a bike!! r u proud? u inspired me. I got it sunday and proceeded to ride 10 miles thru the metroparks here. i love it!!! Portland sounds amazing and so does chicken and rice lol. ttyl, Parker

[Beat0it]

"It's chicken and rice...'cause it's gooood." Ha.

Sounds like a really amazing place to visit/live. School is a perfect reason to move to a place you like so much. : )
