Reflections on the United States of America 2025

We were here August 12 - September 22, 2025. We had friends to see, family to love on and property we had to check.

But without access to our home, currently being rented, we stayed in hotels and Airbnbs. We visited our hometown of Portland, Oregon and some spots in Ohio to see family.

Below are pics from our accommodations.

We also recorded two podcasts while we were there: “How To Die in Oregon…Naturally”: Part One, Part Two.

Portland International Guesthouse — NW Portland, Oregon USA

August 20, 2025/ Global Hotel Guys

We were here August 20-28, 2025 ($110 per night, property website). Love this place and great guys run it. We plan to stay here again in the summer of 2026. There’s one private basement apartment but we stayed in a private room with shared bath upstairs. Shared kitchen space. There’s only four rooms plus the apartment. Great value and in a great neighborhood. Highly recommend!
