Hey y'all! We're Chris + Sara (or as you know us, Let’s Be Us), a husband and wife digital nomad travel duo currently working and traveling full time with our pup, Kramer. We've always dreamed of traveling full time, and in May of 2018 we took the leap and made it happen! Today we're balancing work and fun everywhere between the Pacific and Atlantic. From hiking and cycling to tacos and coffee, we're trying to see and experience as much of this world as we can! While our home is currently on wheels in our DIY Sprinter van, our travels take us all around the world.

Born in Portland July 1946. served in the Vietnam War as a helicopter machine gunner, and was awarded for my skills. My mother's family did the Oregon trail trek in 1866.

[@chrisandsara]

Thank you for your service!

[@strangetravels]

Now I just want a rainy day with coffee, bbq, ice cream and a good book!!

[@chrisandsara]

Oh yes!

[@brunnie]

Quick interesting look at Portland. Thanks.

[@chrisandsara]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@michelevasquez9015]

If you want some good and peaceful waterfalls, head east to Silver Falls State Park. That place is amazing and worth the drive. No, it’s not Portland, but it is PNW and has the Trail of Ten falls around the 7.2 mile loop.

[@chrisandsara]

Oh we're adding this to our list to visit. Thank you so much for the reccomendations!

[@turoczy_]

Thank you so much for capturing this amazing sprint through our town! Even if you did reveal some of our secrets 😂Psyched you got the opportunity to get out to the gorge, too. Great overview 🧡

[@heathertormey]

LOL'ing at the weather. My son goes to Oregon State University and when we did the school tour we had sun, rain, and even snow/sleet. I feel like we got the FULL Oregon experience that day. We ALWAYS hit up Tacovore for tacos and Grand Central Bakery for all the baked goodies.

[@heathertormey]

Oh, and Bamboo Sushi is the absolute best ever.

[@chrisandsara]

You're completely right. Didn't know your son went to OSU. So cool! Always a fun excuse to hit up all the good food.

[@p-forest]

@@heathertormey I can't wait to go back to Bamboo Sushi on my next visit. Swiss Hibiscus in another place I always recommend, but it seems lesser known but always gets great reviews and people I've taken there love it.

[@linetterios]

I use to live in Portland 7 years ago and I still dream of Nong's!

[@chrisandsara]

It’s definitely worthy of your dreams. SO GOOD!

[@rolandrodriguez1381]

I love Portland. We stay downtown this summer. We stay at Hilton Embassy downtown. Dt is just like any big city. Went to Pearl district. The next day visited Saturday market McCall park. Also, a must visit Mt Tabor park.Check out the Kerns district. Cool area. Best few days spent.

[@chrisandsara]

Thanks for sharing!! Need to add those spots to our list. We'll be back for sure.

[@silveryrealm]

My fav city.

[@kanda__family]

very good footage and music, you guys are very cool, much love :) 🥰

[@user-mb9xi2ol5x]

Nice video... I Love Portland

[@travismcclay2688]

I'm heading to Portland next week for Rose City Comic Con and I'm definitely gonna stop at Matt's BBQ, I can't wait. First visit to the West side for me

[@chrisandsara]

You'll love it. Have fun at the Comic Con!

[@gmada]

Yeah Blue Star donuts are da bomb! 👍 I live in Seattle and use an umbrella. 🤣

[@chrisandsara]

haha! You're probably smarter than the rest of us who just decide to get wet in the rain. lol

[@larryjex6485]

Whenever I'm in Portland, I go to the OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science & Industry), where they actually have a retired submarine in the river that you can tour, along with the jet boat rides and a lot of other fun stuff. I like to ride the Portland Aerial Tram to get an unparalleled view of the city, tour Pittock Mansion 1000 feet up in the West Hills, and go to Hoyt Arboretum and the zoo in Washington Park. And no trip to Portland is complete until you go to the beach and see Haystack Rock, Cape Kiwanda and Seaside.

[@TroikaMexicana]

I LOVE PORTLAND! Thanks for showing it. My favorite city in the US :)

[@chrisandsara]

Our pleasure! We had a great time in Portland!

[@kaylaandmarkalan]

Disney Springs has a Salt and Straw and I swear it the best ice cream we’ve ever had!

[@donb.puryearjr.8699]

The Thai poached chicken dish looks incredible.....😊

[@chrisandsara]

Believe me when I say…it is. No hype. Pure goodness

[@MichaelG1986]

Portland and surrounding environs are great. I lived there through most of the 90s, and now that I'm older, I'm thinking of retiring there (I live in Southern California). It's a really special place.

[@chrisandsara]

We love Portland!

[@pdx_gotzoy]

It's good to know you were here in Portland I live in Portland and work in downtown

[@chrisandsara]

So cool! Portland is such a fun town!

[@pdx_gotzoy]

@@chrisandsara ❤️

[@AlzivarXIII]

Absolutely try Pip's original (or their Beaverton location which is cool too!) If you want some super great made to order doughnuts and chai! If you're looking for some of the best Pizza in town i highly recommend the burnside location of Sizzle Pie! If you're every looking for some other food recommendations or just wicked cool experiences in the area (or honesty the entire PNW, i explore a lot hahaha) let me know too, I'd be happy to help! 😀

[@MrZanescott]

I heard that Portland is going through a rough spell right now.

[@jasonmaclean719]

@Joshing_King and the blm riots?

[@kellyestes5482]

Between protestors, homelessness, crime and violence it is not the same place I called home for 20 years.

[@neo312b]

Six years ago, I was fortunate enough to see this city in a different light. I went back March of this year, and you can see and feel that city is really going through a rough spell.

[@bottitaadventures6389]

Portland has declined drastically. Notice there was not footage of the sidewalks? I was down there a couple weeks ago. I was in near tears. The town I used to live is yeah. Don't let this video paint a false picture of the city. 😢

[@CodyCha]

@Joshing_King not pandemic. BLM-ANTIFA protests, crimes, drugs, homelessness, liberal policies

[@magnusthorne]

I recommend Blue Star Donuts

[@caddyzig]

I’ve always loved Portland. Thanks for all the amazing suggestions! I can’t wait to go back again and try some of these. (And Chris, I’m still not used to seeing you without your glasses!)

[@chrisandsara]

Neither am I!!! You'll have a blast next time you visit PDX. These spots were so good.

[@MrfiX725]

Beginning with donuts... #BigFan!!1

[@joanhall3718]

Portland has lots of barbecue (many southern transplants). You are also right that Blue Star doughnuts is worlds better than Voodoo Donuts.

[@chrisandsara]

The BBQ was so good but definitely surprised us! Portland has too much good food!

[@gregoryhagen8801]

Also the best pizza on the west coast, DeNicola's. 35th. & Powell.🍕

[@SusanLynnSpiritNavigator]

The median sale price per square foot in Portland is $323, up 6.1% since last year.

[@matthewlhalsey]

Blue star is way too sweet and chalky dough. Pips for doughnuts and chai(yes you have to get chai) is the place. The owner is amazing as well. Smallest park and the largest park in a city with Mills end and Forest Park. International Test Garden and Crystal springs Rhododendron are great in city parks. As for your tacos, Mole Mole is the best.

[@AlzivarXIII]

I completely and totally second your statement about pips! Absolutely fantastic and a must!

[@mattnelson1716]

All these haters keep hating 😭 🐑

[@chrisandsara]

PDX

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Damn... we need to go to Portland now! 😋Great video guys

[@chrisandsara]

You do!! Y'all would love it! And thanks, y'all! :)

[@scottmac3539]

I'm looking forward to my visit next month. Good food, good brews, good hard drugs. A progressive utopia!

[@zerohelix87]

blue star is definately better than voodoo. they taste better while voodoo is just good for the pics

[@alfredomartinez6466]

Portland Oregon, getting better?

[@Geezimac]

Wouldn’t be a Chris & Sara video w/o 🍩🌮…watching the video & sipping my coffee is a great way to start my work week.

[@chrisandsara]

You know we love our donuts and tacos!! :) Glad we could start the work week with you. Hope y'all are doing well!

[@darbyheavey406]

This is a total whitewash….

[@youknowwithMartyKauffman]

Yeah, I don’t think anyone in Oregon even owns an umbrella

[@chrisandsara]

😂

[@aleesaivanov8726]

Ha! We moved last year from the Portland metro to the Chattanooga metro. Partly because PDX has been a cluster for a while, and because Chattanooga reminds of what PDX used to be like when we were growning up. Still love the PDX area for the nature and climate, but won't ever move back and the Chatt area has all of that too, minus the crazy.😂

[@Check_your_head]

How is housing there??? Stupid crazy $$$ like most of the west coast???

[@David-jo4gt]

Is Portland safe to travel to?

[@duckgoose6234]

not really

[@gagging5156]

“Safer” than other major US cities

[@kevinbenson9866]

Portland no longer is a safe city on any level. Hasn't been for at least three years or so. I love Portland and I've been here for decades. I avoid downtown Portland as much as possible. Enough said!!! 💔@@gagging5156

[@AngelaSealana]

Yikes, a couple days ago on NPR a correspondent was saying the drug problem is so bad that he couldn't walk anywhere downtown without seeing people doing hard drugs a few feet away.

[@bottitaadventures6389]

​@@AngelaSealanathis is true. I was down there a couple weeks ago. What I witnessed was sad.

[@corey9313]

Hey look, another video about all the same things we already know about Portland from dozens of other videos and Eater and Yelp and all the other mainstream media that creates "The Guide to Portland". Thanks

[@chrisandsara]

You’re welcome!

[@JennNahrstadt]

i'm a poor sharer from way back. ask my husband.

[@chrisandsara]

LOL

[@SpicyKimchi-]

I don’t get the hate. If you don’t live in it, you have no sound knowledge to be criticizing. If you used to live in it, then move on and stop obsessing over a city you left. If you live in it, move if you don’t feel safe. So much exaggerated anger towards a city, like they were wronged and dumped by an ex. Having lived in other major cities, Portland isn’t much worse with its issues. If you can’t see past that and focus on the wonderful things it does have to offer, then you really don’t belong in Portland anyway. Never seen people so triggered over a city.

[@No_Hype85]

Its horrible, dont move here!😂

[@marioreyes1089]

You guys drink alcohol at all?

[@chrisandsara]

We do! I can't believer didn't feature a brewery in this video. Such a missed opportunity, I know! 😬

How's the Fetty?

😂 Correct answer 😂@@chrisandsara

[@chametake7713]

hope your car did no get broken into

[@chrisandsara]

It did not

[@yanmcrae6106]

Food, waterfall, food...um, seems a bit superficial to be honest but I guess it is a 36hr thing. No coast, Japanese garden, Chinese garden, hiking, fishing, biking, homeless encounters, kayaking....etc...etc...

[@chrisandsara]

If we had more time we would have done all of those things!

[@alexotoous]

the smallest park in US. not the world

[@Wombusistaken]

Says online is the smallest in the world goof

[@richclay4209]

BS, BS. BS. try selling your home downtown, you can't give them away.

[@chrisandsara]

I have no idea what you’re saying?

[@richclay4209]

Obviously

[@wilburshaw9330]

No thanks!

[@user-hl2ii2ts6s]

Watch the (real reason why people are leaving portland oregon).before you uproot your life and come here.

[@chrisandsara]

No one is uprooting their life.

[@vanji611]

Exactly, no one is uprooting their life to move to Portland because it is a festering shithole.

[@goldenmoontheyoungest8389]

Living a third world life for a first world price. Welcome to Portland, Oregon.

[@cgroom23]

Portland is the last place to go right now. This city allows open drug use and homelessness is basically encouraged.

[@yanmcrae6106]

LOL, it is great place to visit despite the problems. Name me that perfect city w/ population of 400 k?

[@minichols5472]

that has now changed as of this last week.

Lmao, what reality do you guys live in ??
