“Oregon has certainly made a lasting impression on me. Snowshoeing and Night-Snowboarding on Mount Hood, hot springs east of Eugene, the one and only Crater Lake near Ashland, break-dance battles, concerts, open galleries and intercultural nights in downtown Portland. I am grateful for all those amazing memories that have inspired me ever since.”

“As a ‘city gal’ I was somewhat worried about how I would handle the wild outdoors of Oregon. Then, I immediately fell in love with the Pacific Nortwest and its stunningly beautiful environment with snow-clad mountains, desert-like sand dunes, remote beaches, and a vibrant urban life. After having lived in Portland, I consider the City of Roses my ‘home away from home’.”
