Visit Oregon
I’ve lived in Oregon for the past 28 years, literally my entire life. When I was young, I dreamt of moving to NYC and becoming Carrie Bradshaw’s sidekick, but the longer I live in Oregon and the older I get, I really can’t imagine living anywhere else in the US! We pretty much have it all here – small towns, big cities, lush green forests, dry deserts, and even a beautiful coastline. And with all the festivals and activities going on, you’d be crazy not to want to visit Oregon! Also, stay tuned to the end of this post for an AMAZING giveaway!!

Visit Oregon - Top 10 Things to do/see/love!
1. We have all 4 seasons! If you’re from the Southern United States, you probably wonder what fall and winter are all about. In Oregon, we get the beautiful reds and golds of fall, and snow in the winter!2. Different climates – depending on where you are in Oregon, you could experience the hot and dry desert, lush and rainy Northern Oregon, sunny and beautiful Southern Oregon, or the sandy shores of the Oregon Coast.3. Flower Festivals – between the Lavender Farms, Rose Gardens, and the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to explore Oregon’s beautiful gardens!4. “Keep Portland Weird” – a trip to Portland, OR wouldn’t be complete without snapping a pic of the iconic “Keep Portland Weird” wall sign and the neon Portland Oregon sign!5. 363 miles of coastline – if you ever get the chance to visit Oregon, be sure to stop in at the coast! It really doesn’t matter which part you visit, as each little town how it’s own fun vibe, fun hikes, and a gorgeous ocean view!
6. ALL the outdoor activities you can imagine! In the winter you can ski, snowboard, or snowshoe. Take advantage of the warmer months by going for a hike, white water rafting, camping, fishing, or wine tasting!7. The Oregon Trail – looking for a little history? Visit some historical spots from the Oregon Trail in Southern or Northern Oregon!
