The people of Gent, Belgium, are so generous! Whe The people of Gent, Belgium, are so generous!

When the guy we originally connected with through Couchsurfing could only offer us one night, he went out of his way to hook us up with his friends who could host us for the remainder of our time there.

They had never done any Couchsurfing nor hosting before, but they loved the experience so much, they asked us to help them set up their profile! (which we were happy to do, of course!)

What a fun experience with amazing people.  I hope they have hosted many more since our visit and still love connecting with travelers! ✈️
Now is the season for Portland summer festivals! Now is the season for Portland summer festivals!

💃 Cinco de Mayo (early May) kicks it all off with food, shows, and Mexican culture
🌹 Rose Festival (early June) is Portland’s jewel, marked by two parades (the illuminated Starlight Parade is our favorite!), a waterfront carnival, fireworks, and Fleet Week
🎷 Blues Fest (4th of July weekend) is a musical festival on the waterfront
🍻 Brewers Festival (late July) brings beers from all over the state (and elsewhere)

Bonus! ✨ Every February, Portland also hosts the Winter Light Festival (PDXWLF), featuring local artists who craft the most spectacular illuminated artwork all over the city
