I recently returned from Portland, Oregon 🇺🇸 courtesy of Travel Portland

This city has so much to offer.

From the very cool neighborhoods 🌳
Restaurant and food cart scene (Incredible!) 🍱 🌮
Mt Hood where you can ski 11 months of the year 🎿 🏔️
Sporting matches to knock your socks off ⚽️ 🏀
Stunning scenic walks and gardens 🌹⛩️🏞️
Fantastic TAX FREE shopping 🛍️
To the largest bookstore in the World 📚

This is a must add destination to your next USA trip. Just an hours flight north of San Francisco or just shy of a 3 hour drive south of Seattle.

We stayed in the most amazing hotels - Cascada with its Thermal Springs on site and the iconic Sentinal.

I have a lot of clients currently travelling throughout Europe and the rest of the world. This client has given me permission to share her photos of their room in Venice.
When booking your trip we delve into why you want to visit a certain city and what is important to you. This client just wanted to wake up looking at the canals for a true Venetian experience.
So I suggested The Rialto Venice. It’s right at the Ponte de Rialto bridge… this is the view from their room 😍

Downtown Portland Oregon. So much on offer in this beautiful green and eclectic city.
The food here is some of the best I have had on all my visits to the US. Coffee is incredible too.

Portland is on the west coast of America, a 1.5hour flight north of San Francisco, in the state of Oregon. It’s a very multicultural city, much like Melbourne.

Today we experienced the United Airlines airport lounge in San Francisco airport and amazing service of United Airlines long haul and domestic transfer and flights.
Our hosts for this trip are Travel Portland
We stayed at the incredible Cascada Hotel which is in a great location surrounded by fabulous eateries and shops. Not to mention they have a Thermal Springs on site, which definitely melts away the jet lag… lets just say I fell asleep 4 times and got told off for talking in the silent area 3 times 🤣🤣
Dinner tonight was also on site at Terre Mae, local wines and cocktails and a 10 course degustation menu … every mouthful was a culinary delight 😋
