I recently spent a quick weekend in Portland, Oregon, and absolutely fell in love with this city! Think of this post as less of a travel guide and more of a recap of my favorite spots I made it to. There is so much to explore in Portland and 48 hours was not nearly enough time to try as many places or see as many things as I would like. BUT these are the highlights from the weekend. 

Experiences 

Spend the morning at Knot Springs: a spa that is truly unlike any other I had been to. I highly recommend visiting and doing the 90-minute springs visit. You will enjoy an exfoliating shower, and then rotate through a sauna, steam room, cold plunge, and hot tub. The experience was so relaxing and had beautiful views of the city. They also offer group fitness classes and spa treatments. 

Portland Weekend Recap

Enjoy a glass of wine and grilled cheese in The Nook: I don’t exactly know how we stumbled on this spot but inside this amazing wine bar is a little nook that seats two and books out about a week in advance. Truly anywhere at this place would be a fun time, but if you are looking for a cute date night book the nook! Pro tip: select a winesman’s pick and have them pair it with your grilled cheese.

I'm Bailey, your new social media bestie.

Instead of doing what I thought I was supposed to be doing, I got intentional. I started asking “what if” all the time and I stopped putting so much pressure on myself to do things at the perfect time or the right way. Instead I took a little leap here and another there to create a life I love.
