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.

See pics (on our Facebook posts) of what we did throughout our six weeks in the USA - First post, Second post, Third post, Fourth post, Fifth post, Sixth post.

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

Airbnb Apartment — Chillicothe, Ohio, USA

September 18, 2025/ Global Hotel Guys

We were here September 18, 2025. We rented a nice downtown apartment big enough for the four of us ($314 /night - Airbnb property link).

We did a road trip with family leaving from Cleveland, stopping in Newark (east of Columbus) and arriving in Chillicothe north and east of Cincinnati. Paul lived in Ohio from birth until 21 years old but never visited these very historical places.

We were on a mission to visit the ancient Native American mounds dated from before European contact with the continent. Chillicothe is a very historic place in Ohio and American history. Great overnight road trip.

Below are pics from the accommodation.
