We are a family of three: Doug is a physician (doctor); Pattie is a communications consultant; and son Matthew (19) is in university. We have done quite a lot of traveling: home exchanges in Spain, Italy; Washington, D.C., Vienna and London; and we lived for close to two years in Auckland, NZ. We love exporing, meeting new people, learning about other places, attempting to speak other languages (Spanish, Italian, German and Kiwi English), and trying new things.

Excellent public transport and bike routes. Portland offers world-class restaurants, a lively nightlife, fabulous live music, festivals on the waterfront, and much more.
Portland is also famous for its access to outdoor activities -- including hiking, biking, camping, golf, tennis, sailing and stunning wine country. We're a 1 1/2 hour drive to the Oregon coast/beaches, Mt. Hood (year-round skiing), the stunning Columbia River Gorge, and world class wine country. Seattle is 3 hours north.

Beschrijving van onze buurt en omgeving
Our neighborhood is classic old Portland: Lovely, quiet, tree-lined streets with distinctive houses, parks, playgrounds, etc. In summer the closest park opens its public swimming pool. The tennis courts are open year round. A ten minute walk (5 minutes by bicycle ) takes you to cafes, restaurants, shops and 2 supermarkets. Downtown Portland is a 10 minute drive or 20 minute bus ride. Traveling around Portland is easy, and parking in the city is easy and relatively inexpensive. Portland has many wonderful neighborhoods to explore, including several close-by to our home.
