These Portland Companies Are Changing the Way We Travel

By Gabriel Granillo September 1, 2021

Modern Adventure, founded by Luis Vargas, believes travel can be a force for good.

So you want to start traveling again? Even pre-pandemic, travelling has always been a hassle, an exercise in patience, wrought with hair-pulling frustrations, unhelpful guides, and dubious search results.

Right here in Portland, travel companies are focused on creating experiences that are not only more convenient, but also avoid the ethical trappings of booking though global companies. From group trips that focus on investing into local communities to curated outdoor excursions for people of color and their allies, here are four Portland-based companies changing the way we travel.

Modern Adventure  

What makes a trip good? Is it the high-end hotel and resort we stayed at? Or is it the stories we return with?

At Modern Adventure , a tour agency that curates group travel experiences in the US and abroad, finding the narrative arc of each trip “is an art and a science,” says founder Luis Vargas And while group travel and shared experiences are at the heart of Modern Adventure, Vargas says while creating each trip’s itinerary, they’re sure to leave “whitespace for people to have their own experience.” 

With trips currently scheduled in the coming months in the French Alps, Oaxaca, Peru, Japan, Costa Rica, Vietnam, and more, Modern Adventure also pays keen attention to who they choose to work with, focusing on investing its tourism dollars into smaller, local communities.

“The power of shared experiences and the quality of a relationship that can be built over a short amount of time is amazing.... And I think also with the you know, context of having gone without, for so long to all of a sudden to have this really rich, immersive social experience is really compelling,” Vargas says.

On the topic of group trips, what if, instead of just going on one, you’d like to host your own? That’s where TrovaTrip, headquartered in Portland, comes in.

Founded in 2017, TrovaTrip is a trip planning and management platform that enables topic experts, influencers, and small businesses to host group trips with their audience around the globe. Once onboarded, hosts can pick an itinerary offered by a certified tour operator and use the platform to create personalized trips, pick pricing, sell spots, and manage bookings, and each trip comes with an expert guide provided by the tour operator to ensure a seamless experience in-destination. 

The company, like many others, suffered during the early part of 2020, but as the year progressed, TrovaTrip’s bookings nearly tripled, with more than 350 trips planned for the remainder of 2021 and 2022.

“Travel has the power to bring the world closer together. After such a challenging year, we all are in need of community, culture, and a well-earned vacation.” says Nick Poggi, TrovaTrip CEO and cofounder. 

Recently, TrovaTrip announced a $5 millionventure capital funding led by Seattle-based PSL Ventures.

Sometimes the best way to learn about a campsite is through word of mouth—by folks who have been there, seen that.

Born out of the frustration of searching for a campground online, Sarah Smith founded the website The Dyrt in 2015 (and its app, launched in 2017), aimed at helping campers navigate their outdoor experiences. 

To date, The Dyrt has crowdsourced more than 2.5 million photos, reviews, and tips for around 40,000 campgrounds across the US. Since its founding, The Dyrt has grown significantly, and 2020 was its biggest year yet. About 14 millions campers visited The Dyrt in 2020. Last year, the Dyrt also introduced its pro membership, which offers select discounts to campers, the ability to search offline on the app, and more. 

The Dyrt also offers plenty of resources for novel and experienced campers, including an explorer contest, where campers can win prizes for reviews of visited campgrounds, forums, and The Dyrt Magazine, which offers tips, spotlights, and more.

Don’t confuse trips with Camp Yoshi as just another glamping excursion.

OK, yes. Folks who participate Camp Yoshi’s multi-day trips—in 2022 the group has trips planned in Southeast Oregon, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and California—are treated to such southern-inspired meals by Camp Yoshi founder, Chef Rashad Frasier, as caramel braised short ribs with heirloom grits, braised chicken in corn ragu, and basil fried rice, plus craft cocktails, but prepare yourself for a true nature immersion with no cell phones and no Google. Participants are encouraged to work together, respect the nature, and enjoy the beauty of the land. No camping experience required. And save for bringing your own sleeping and bag, Camp Yoshi has got you covered with an all-inclusive package. 

Founded during 2020, amid a global pandemic and racial injustice protests, Camp Yoshi hopes to give Black people the confidence to safely explore some of the most beautiful and remote locations in the U.S. Each trip is curated for people of color and their allies, combining gourmet cooking with innovative wilderness experiences. Choose from one of their more than 20 trips they have planned in 2022.

14 Things to See and Do in Portland, Oregon

A colorful pink sunset over Portland, Oregon, USA, with Mount Hood in the background

Portland, Oregon, is one of America’s most unique cities. With a world-class food scene, plentiful local breweries, and postcard-perfect scenery, it’s surprising that more people don’t visit this eclectic city.

I first visited here in 2011 for Thanksgiving. While in Spain , I made friends who lived in Portland and paid them a visit on my way to Asia. What started as “like” during my first trip turned into love on my second.

I’ve visited the city nearly every year since. Portland is on the very tiny list of cities I would actually live in ( the nearby Oregon coast is stunning too! ).

What I really love about Portland is the high quality of life. It’s compact and easy to get around, there is good public transportation available, the locals are friendly, it’s environmentally conscious, and, most importantly, the food and beer scene here is amazing.

While the city developed a bit of a bad rap during the protests of 2020 and 2021, the overwhelming majority of that has been overblown by the media. While Portland isn’t perfect (no city ever is), it’s not nearly as “dangerous” as certain people would like you to believe. A city of over 600,000 people, it’s not being burnt to the ground and problems are confined to a small section downtown. Don’t let the media make you afraid to visit this incredible city.

To help you make the most of your visit, here are my favorite 14 things to see and do in Portland:

Table of Contents

1. Take a Walking Tour

2. see pittock mansion, 3. hike forest park, 4. browse at powell’s city of books, 5. devour delicious donuts, 6. wander the international rose test garden, 7. see the japanese garden, 8. visit the freakybutture peculiarium and museum, 9. take a food tour, 10. relax at laurelhurst park or washington park, 11. indulge at the food trucks, 12. visit the portland art museum, 13. drink some beer, 14. hike the columbia river gorge.

I always start my visits to a new city with a walking tour. It’s the best way to learn about a destination, get the lay of the land, see the main sights, and have an expert local guide answer all your questions.

Around Portland Tours offers almost a dozen different tours around town, focusing on food, the main sights, and Portland’s nearby hiking spots. Tours last 2-4 hours and start at around $29 USD. They’re a great way to kick off your visit. They also offer bike tours too for $59 USD!

You can also find niche tours if you want something different, like an underground tour or a ghost tour.

The stately Pittock Mansion in Portland, Oregon on a summer day

3229 NW Pittock Dr, +1 503-823-3623, pittockmansion.org. Open daily, from 10am–5pm (4pm in the winter, opens at noon on Tuesdays year-round). Admission is $16.50 USD.  

Located on the northwestern edge of town, Forest Park is one of the nation’s largest urban parks. Covering a sprawling 5,000 acres, it’s home to over 70 miles of hiking and biking trails. There are over 100 species of birds here, as well as 62 different species of mammals. It’s also home to the Witch’s Castle, an abandoned stone building covered in moss. (It has no connection to witches. The name came from students who used to use the site for secret parties in the 1980s).

Some trails worth checking out are the Wildwood Loop trail (easy, 2 hours), Forest Park Ridge Trail (moderate, 1.5 hours), and the Dogwood Wild Cherry Loop (easy, 1.5 hours).  

This is the largest independent and used bookstore in the world, home to over a million books. Established in 1971, the store takes up an entire city block and has 3,500 different sections. It buys upwards of 3,000 new and used books each and every day so if you’re a book lover like me, you could easily spend a good chunk of time here!

1005 W Burnside St, +1 800-878-7323, powells.com/locations/powells-city-of-books. Open daily 10am–9pm.  

Portland is known for its donuts. If you Google the city or search for it on social media, donuts will inevitably pop up (there even an donut walking tour here). Voodoo Doughnut put the city on the map with its weird and wonderful combinations, such as Cap’n Crunch or maple bacon. It also makes cream-filled phallic donuts as well — so you can see why it’s become a quirky staple of the city.

Some locals might argue that Voodoo is for tourists, preferring donuts from rival donut shop Blue Star instead. You can’t go wrong with either choice. They both have multiple locations around the city, so why not try both and see for yourself. You only live once, after all!  

Home to over 10,000 rose bushes and 610 varieties, this garden is where many companies test new varieties of roses (some are tested here years before they are commercially available). It’s the oldest rose test garden in the country. During World War I, roses from all around the world were sent here for testing and safekeeping. They also host an annual competition for the city’s best rose. The roses are in bloom between April and October, though there is also an amphitheater here that holds all kinds of events, such as classical music performances and plays. Don’t miss the Shakespeare Garden, which only has types of roses referenced in Shakespeare’s plays.

Guided walking tours of the city usually stop here since it’s one of the main highlights.

400 SW Kingston Ave, +1 503-823-3636. Open daily 5am–10pm. Admission is free.  

A beautiful waterfall in the Japanese Garden in Portland, Oregon

611 SW Kingston Ave, +1 503-223-1321, japanesegarden.org. Open daily 10am–5:30pm (closes at 3:30pm in the winter). Admission is $21.95 USD  

If you’re looking for something decidedly weird and unconventional during your trip, visit The Peculiarium. This creepy emporium is full of all kinds of weird drawings and souvenirs, gag toys, unknown oddities in jars, and even a giant Bigfoot statue. There are fake severed body parts (which are super lifelike), and they also serve fresh-baked cookies…with bugs, scorpions, and mealworms inside and on them.

The city’s slogan is “Keep Portland Weird.” This place reflects that perfectly.

2234 Northwest Thurman Street, +1 503-227-3164, peculiarium.com. Open Thursday-Tuesday, 11am–6pm. Admission is $10 USD ($7 USD on Tuesdays). Not suitable for kids.  

If you’re a foodie like me, you can’t visit Portland without taking a food tour. You’ll get to sample some of the city’s best food, learn about its culture and history, and meet other foodie travelers like yourself. It’s the best way to get the culinary lay of the land before you head off on your own to eat your way around town.

Forktown offers a few different food tours focused on different cuisines and regions of the city. It will give you a solid overview of what tasty offerings Stumptown can dish up. Tours last around three hours and cost 115 USD per person.

Lost Plate also runs a few specialized food tours, including one that focuses on donuts and one that sticks entirely to food trucks . Their tours start at $59 USD.  

Portland has tons of green space to relax in and enjoy. Laurelhurst Park was designed by the same team that designed Central Park in New York . It has a laid-back atmosphere and is popular with locals and visitors alike. There’s a duck pond, bike paths, and an off-leash dog area.

Washington Park is another great choice if you’re looking to lounge with a book and enjoy the weather. The park contains memorials for the Korean and Vietnam Wars, the Holocaust, and the Lewis and Clark expedition, and also offers beautiful vistas of Portland and Mt. Hood.  

People walking down a brick sidewalk lined with food trucks in Portland, Oregon

You can find plenty of tasty options on SW Fifth Ave and at the food pods (food truck lots) at Cartopia, Third Avenue, and Hawthorne Asylum. A couple of my favorites are Burger Stevens and Desi PDX. There are also tons of delicious foodie tours if you want to sample the best Portland has to offer.  

Opened in 1892, this is the oldest art museum in the Pacific Northwest. It’s also one of the oldest galleries in the country too (the seventh oldest to be exact). It’s home to over 42,000 items, from contemporary art to Native American works to Asian art and everything in between. There are permanent exhibitions, rotating temporary galleries, and an outdoor sculpture park. There’s a lot of variety here, so be sure to check the website to see what’s on during your visit.

1219 SW Park Ave, +1 503-226-2811, portlandartmuseum.org. Open Wednesday–Sunday 10am-5pm. Admission is $25 USD.  

Portland is one of the beer capitals of America. There are over 70 microbreweries in the city — more than any other city in the country — and Portlandians take their beer seriously. The craft beer movement started here back in the ’80s, well before it caught on elsewhere. Many breweries have their own tours, as well as their own restaurants, so you can enjoy a pint and a bite to eat.

There are also multi-brewery tours from companies like City Brew Tours (tours start at $89 USD). There’s also the Eastside Craft Brewery Walking Tour , which lasts 2.5 hours and costs $59 USD. If you’re a craft beer aficionado, be sure to indulge (responsibly)!  

A scenic vista overlooking the Columbia River Gorge near Portland, Oregon

Some suggested hikes are Dry Creek Falls (easy, 2 hours), Wahkeena Falls Loop (moderate, 3 hours), and Starvation Ridge and Warren Lake (hard, 8 hours). If you don’t have a car, there’s a daily shuttle, the Columbia Gorge Express, available. You can get a one-day Gorge Transit Pass for $15 USD, or an annual pass for $40 USD, if you’re planning on visiting the gorge a few times during your visit.

You can also take a guided tour of the gorge if you’d prefer something more organized.

Portland is one of my favorite American cities. It’s fun, eclectic, and energetic, and it has a lot to offer (especially if you’re a foodie or craft beer lover). It deserves far more attention than it gets — from domestic and international travelers alike. If you find yourself in the PNW, be sure to spend a few days here. Your tastebuds will thank you!

Book Your Trip to Portland: Logistical Tips and Tricks

Book Your Flight Use Skyscanner to find a cheap flight. They are my favorite search engine because they search websites and airlines around the globe so you always know no stone is left unturned.

Book Your Accommodation You can book your hostel with Hostelworld as they have the biggest inventory and best deals. If you want to stay somewhere other than a hostel, use Booking.com as they consistently return the cheapest rates for guesthouses and cheap hotels. Two suggested places to stay in Portland are:

  • HI Portland

Don’t Forget Travel Insurance Travel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past. My favorite companies that offer the best service and value are:

  • Safety Wing (best for everyone)
  • Insure My Trip (for those over 70)
  • Medjet (for additional evacuation coverage)

Experience Oregon Zoo without the kids at Zoo Brew: A beer festival for adults

P ORTLAND, Ore. ( PORTLAND TRIBUNE ) — Zoo Brew is back. Presented by Alaska Airlines, the Oregon Zoo’s annual beer-tasting festival returns June 7–8, with samples from more than 45 Northwest breweries and cideries, plus live music, keeper chats, lawn games and more.

“If you’ve ever wondered what the zoo would be like without the kids, Zoo Brew is for you,” said zoo events manager Mickey Webb.

Admission includes a souvenir glass and 10 tasting tickets. Food will be available for purchase from multiple area food carts as well as zoo food outlets. Festivities begin at 6 p.m., and taps will be pouring until 9:30 p.m.

“It’s the perfect way to kick off the summer, sample some new beers and support a great cause,” Webb said. “Proceeds benefit the zoo’s programs for species recovery, animal well-being and conservation education, so people can come together for wildlife and have a fun time.”

Although the zoo has had evening events for adults previously, the Zoo Brew series started in 2019, then resumed in 2023 after the pandemic. This year’s event will feature the music of The Too Loose Cajun Band.
