They said Portland, Oregon was WEIRD. We went to find out!

Описание: This isn't going to be your typical travel video about Portland, Oregon.
We came here curious. Not just to visit coffee shops and murals (though we definitely did that), but to find out what “Keep Portland Weird” actually means in 2025.

Is the weird still real? Or is Portland something deeper, stranger, and more misunderstood than a bumper sticker?

In this episode, we talk to locals, explore the city with fresh eyes, and maybe learn more about ourselves than we meant to.

Filmed June 2025 | Portland, OR
