Hey, Portland.

[@cottagefarm28]

This was so cozy. It is inspiring to see how a fellow introvert navigates solo excursions, impromptu interactions, and how taking it slow, having a loose itinerary allows the place to open up to you. You inspire my own creativity but more importantly you inspire life. Ikigai: meaning and fulfillment of life. You embody Ikigai. 🥰

[@TheWitchOfWonderlust]

Wow. Thank you🩶 this means so much! I really hope to make more of these!

[@TC-mb2dl]

Omg dat hubby supporting his wife's foodblog..I love that! ❤️

[@TheWitchOfWonderlust]

Right?! It was so wholesome 😭

[@rebeccacline586]

So glad you had a nice visit here. You fit the Portland vibe perfectly

[@tinapasquale5394]

I'm a good bit older than you and have watched you for years. Not to sound too much like a mom, I'm proud of you. I love seeing you live your life on your terms in your own way at your age. You keep on doing you. You're doing great. Much love to you.

[@violetinruins]

Portland has changed a lot in recent times but it's great to see a positive story from a visitor. We have a charm that can't be beat and love that you went to the skeleton key which is my fav occult shop.

[@s.e.wigget8144]

I love Lone Fir Cemetery! In October it hosts the Tour of Untimely Departures. People dress in costume, stand by their grave, and tell you about the person they represent.

[@chloeferguson6446]

I have a friend who volunteers for that!!!! She does it every year! It’s super cool.

[@TheWitchOfWonderlust]

What!!! This is SO cool. I need to see this.

[@BlueB-bx6nh]

I repent . Pretty please 🙏

[@katleiahveridian6564]

I live in Portland and it was so nice to see you enjoy some of my favorite places.

[@juliaalsirt9951]

Thanks for sharing your trip to Portland! We've been getting a lot of negative press recently so appreciate all the lovin' we can get. There is so much to see and do here and, as you experienced, the people are uniquely welcoming. It is truly a place where people feel comfortable being their most authentic self! Next time you are headed this way you should ask your viewers for suggested destinations. So many hidden treasures here!

[@starhill6792]

Portland is fantastic, I’m so sorry to hear about the negative press because I have so far loved this city more than any city I have been in before.

[@blonniejenn433]

Thanks for taking us along. I'd love to go there someday!

[@TheWitchOfWonderlust]

Definitely worth a trip!

[@beautifuldae]

Thank you not everyone sees such wholesome footage of Portland and I'm so glad you enjoyed your time here in Portland. Thank you for this.

[@YikesRose]

Portland welcomes you with open arms!!! ^-^

[@SaraMay-cr9sx]

Omg I live next to Lone Fir Cemetary, only a block from it and it's my favorite place in the world. I do rituals there sometimes and always have amazing results from those particular rituals. I wish I coulda ran into you as I walk there nearly daily and a huge witchy fan of yours.. glad you got to see it! :)

[@FireTressed]

I’ve been a volunteer headstone cleaner for Lone Fir going on 9 or 10 seasons. When you mentioned there was a cemetery you wanted to see, I knew exactly which one. 😊 It’s one of my favorite places to just be. And it’s gorgeous in the Fall.

[@zebulonswearingen4607]

I’m new to your videos - but a witch of wonderlust having a great time and mosying only seems natural; I guess it’s about time. It was cool experiencing the vlog. I never got to stop, relax and explore there but the parts of Oregon I drove through were beautiful. I’m from Colorado, so Oregon was part of a refreshing trip, which did involve beaches - mostly in Washington. I love the music you played. Keep on rockin’, W.O.W.🤟🏼

[@TheWitchOfWonderlust]

Yeah Colorado is DRY compared to the North West for sure. It was nice to see the flora… alive😂 I’m glad you enjoyed!

[@RRRagingRRRavioli]

Watched this while making my morning tea, it was very pleasant. ❤

[@Ellary_Rosewood]

It's nice to see you in my area! I hope you can come back soon and spend more time exploring! 💙 (Also to take that guided tour of the cemetery)

[@firefly24601]

I'm glad you got in and out before the ice storm showed up and everything ground to a halt for a week! Also in the middle of the storm, the Red Line had a planned shutdown due to construction at one of the major stations. So you would have had to take two rail replacement busses to get to the airport.

[@lorensims4846]

Ah, the scenery takes me back. My wife and I lived in Gresham, about two blocks from the Max light rail station. We were there for about six months in the mid-'90s. Portland is an amazing town! The people are… different. But generally really quite nice. I'm glad you included a shot of Portland bubblers. They're historical and famous. The buses and light rail are great ways to get around. I had to laugh when you said the place was "right across the bridge" because of all the bridges in Portland, one of my favorite features. In Gresham, they had a great rails-to-trails nature trail along the edge of the park behind the Max station. We took a day trip up to see Seattle but really didn't get a feel for it. I really appreciate your thoughts about Portland in contrast with Seattle. I thought the TV series Portlandia really hit the nail on the head, but they did project a certain pretentiousness that was funny, but not particularly accurate. Public TV in Portland was something special when we were there, too. As I think of the place, there's a different story every couple of blocks. It's just such a rich culture. I worked for a few months at the Goodwill store in Gresham which used to be a K-Mart. After that, I almost got a job at Powell's Technical Books, but it was about then that we decided it was time to move on.

[@serisgarden]

Kept seeing 444 today. We just moved to Oregon after 25 years in the desert and this video popped up in my recommended videos. Really enjoyed your perspective on what it was like to visit and walk around Portland! I am looking forward to going up there to explore soon myself. This was a great way to prepare for our trip up from Lane County!

[@trevorantilla9893]

yo thats my hometown. P-Town. Powells Bookstore and sizzle pie are my first stops. The super cheezy four horseman of the apocalypse pizza is good idk if they still got that... havent been home in years.

[@stepbystephyt]

As someone who used to live in Portland, it's refreshing to see the city from the perspective of a visitor! It's easy to get caught up in all the problems of a specific place, even when there's still so much beauty and wonder to be seen and experienced. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your perspective as you travel!

[@heathershangovercure]

I was born & raised there, so it's refreshing to me too!

[@peachybaby33]

Me, being a native my entire life, being like "ouuuu never been there before, I'll have to check that out" 😂 so cool to see my city through your eyes, though! Your first vlogs were the second set of videos I ever saw of you, so surreal to see how much time has passed!

[@TheWitchOfWonderlust]

The same thing happens to me when people visit Denver! When we visit places, we always see things with a different lens. It's nice to see our home towns through other peoples eyes!

[@DrDino123]

Going to that hotel. That Bacchus wall mural (Bacchus by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio) looks breathtaking!! And only getting 2 books went going out of a book store is a mood LOL

[@TheWitchOfWonderlust]

The hotel is in walking distance of Powelles😅 it was SO hard not to spend my WHOLE trip there

[@heathershangovercure]

I was born & raised in pdx, & honestly this video was so cozy. . I don't live there anymore, but I go back there sometimes, I just went a few days ago to see OMSI , & I found a really cool painted rock there!

[@27deathage]

Positive Portland vibes! This city is amazing and I wish more people could see that.

[@Jennifer83881]

So beautiful. Great cinematography.

[@SelahViolinist]

Feeling so wistful about Portland and Oregon. Hoping to go back one day!

[@vhollinger]

ah this makes me want to plan a trip to Portland. i’ve never been but i’m getting that travel itch

[@TheWitchOfWonderlust]

You should! It’s a cool city to just wander and savor.

[@missamiejo]

I live just outside of Portland! And I was downtown twice around the time you were here. Maybe I’ll be lucky enough to bump into you next time around. Sounds like your trip was much needed and enjoyable. 🤘🏻💜

[@LearningToLiveWithM.S.]

I love your videos! You are bringing me out of my depressive funk and making me want to do stuff, and travel. Thank you!

[@TheWitchOfWonderlust]

Oh I love that🥹 yes I hope you get the window to travel and enjoy yourself asap!

Thank you so much for sharing! Loved seeing Portland and the cute interactions you had with some of the people there. It seems like such a lovely place to visit! I hope you had a nice time!

[@VeraGolosovaArt]

Oh no, living in proximity of Barcelona made me so jumpy when I saw people willing to interact with your gear. Here in Barcelona people steal like there is no tomorrow. Phones, wallets, cameras, bikes. I am glad that I live in a smaller town 1 hour by train away where situation is different. Thank you for lovely video, I have been to Portland in 2019, it was lovely to have a look at the city again. And Powell's, oh yes... :D

[@Nekoyasha92]

I loved the cozy travel vlog. my theory on them claiming its the sketch book. its the camera sketchbook combo. I hope they like your sketches if they look at em.

[@frauhollecottage]

When you were standing on that pier with the boat behind you, there was a Bridget's Cross symbol on the stack of the boat. Soon it will be Imbolc - Wishing you an awesome Imbolc! I think Bridget is blessing you.

[@lilsheba1]

Lone Fir Cemetery is AWESOME! It's huge too. I have taken so many photos of that place!

[@TheWitchOfWonderlust]

I wish so badly I could have spent so much more time there!

[@katherinephx.7623]

That was very cool. Thank you so much! Blessed Be from Phoenix, Arizona 💖 😎 🌵

[@Baby_Dinosaur323]

I just moved to Portland in July (previously lived in the Midwest) and I’m kinda in love with this city? This gave me some good places to add to my list, and I’m so damn happy to be here.

[@TheTrueOnyxRose]

Thanks for visiting my adopted city. Unfortunately after over twenty years, I don’t know how long I’ll be here. It started going south since 2013, so it’s not the same. What you saw was only Portland’s best face. It’s way past time to see other cities on the West side of the Cascades. But thanks for complementing the city anyway. And thanks for the heads up about Seattle.

[@witchways]

I loved it. I live in Portland, so it was really nice to see the city from another's perspective. Lone Fir is great. I spend a lot of time there. You got some great footage.

[@christinamann3640]

[@AmandaPelland]

Such a great video of your time in Portland. Based on your more recent videos, it's so awesome you're out there rediscovering You and on your own terms!

[@JazzToMoonbase2]

It's so weird to see a video of my home town but im glad you like it. My mother is buried in lone fir and you walked by her grave in the video, lol. The history, in regard to mental health patients, is pretty interesting. A very kind doctor buried his patients there when their families didn't claim them. And as far as the water front park is concerned, it's not in a nighborhood so that's probably why there isn't a lot of people there compared to the cemetery. However! Downtown in general isn't regarded as "safe". When I was a teenager we avoided it because used needles would be put into the grass upright 😶. Has gotten a lot worse in the last four years for obvious reasons. But I think things are looking up. Getting kinda pricey tho. I laughed when you said Portland was cheaper then what you were use to.

[@TheWitchOfWonderlust]

Coming from living in LA and Denver, it was cheaper food-wise. I don't know about living costs!

[@victoriaberger3545]

Thanks for taking us along would love to see more travel vlogs

Looks like a truly fantastic time! And yeah, Northwest folks are always the very best (totally no biased, being a born northwesterner). Would love to hear what you thought of the occult shops you were able to find.

You gotta try VooDoo donuts next time you go. They are amazing. I love Powells Books, I could spend hours in there. Seattle is not very friendly. Most of Western Washington is like that. Very uppity. Oregon is one of my favorite places to visit.

Any other recommendations? 😊 I'm going to Pdx soon and want to drive around the state ❤

[@s.e.wigget8144]

@@traveliowa301 Mother Foucault's Books is like traveling back in time. New Renaissance Bookstore is a metaphysical shop. Kinokuniya Bookz is a Japanese shop with tons of Studio Ghibli goodies. Books with Pictures is a wonderful comic book shop. If you’re looking for places other than bookshops.... there’s the Portland Art Museum, Forest Park (it has 30 miles of hiking trails), Pittock Mansion (a haunted historic home open for tours), the Japanese Garden, the Chinese Garden, Tao of Tea (a tea shop--and next door they have a shop where they sell stuff like loose tea & teapots).... Some of my favorite places have closed, unfortunately.

[@s.e.wigget8144]

That's weird--I replied with a long list of places, and now it's gone.

[@s.e.wigget8144]

@@traveliowa301 I'll try again.... Mother Foucault's Books is like stepping back in time. The Japanese Garden is amazing. Ditto the Chinese Garden (downtown). The Tao of Tea on Belmont includes a cafe and next door a shop where they sell loose tea and pottery. If you enjoy museums, I recommend the Portland Art Museum and the Oregon Jewish Museum. Also the Oregon Historical Society Museum. Forest Park has 30 miles of trails and the so-called Witch House (actually the remains of a 1930s restroom with the facilities removed). One trail leads to Pittock Mansion, a beautiful historic home open for tours. Portland has many food cart pods. I remember one in particular on Belmont and I think 42nd Street. So many places have closed in recent years.

Loving your new content (loved the old as well) I've been to Portland and Seattle and it's funny my husband and I got the opposite vibes from the two however I can see how Seattle can come off pretentious. I just loved their curated thrift shops haha. But when I travel, that's where i always go! I live on the outskirts of Chicago and we are spoiled with good food and I totally agree that Portland has delicious food! The only downside about Portland and Seattle is that you can't stay overnight in the parking lots at Walmart! My husband and I are avid road trippers and that's how we are able to keep costs down. Needless to say, we had some late nights trying to find places to sleep around there haha. Anyways, thanks for sharing!
