Hi there! My name is Antonina and I’ve lived in Oregon practically my whole life (Portland, to be exact). I’ve traveled to 20+ countries yet still find myself eager to land in PDX and uber on home. I started Oregon Essential as a means to share my passion for Oregon with those visiting the state.

Me too! I share helpful guides (with beautiful photos, of course).

I really like your website. I am very appreciative of folks that share their experiences and don’t feel the need to keep their favorite places a secret from other locals and visitors. Great job.
Thanks so much Rick! That’s very kind of you to say. I appreciate you taking the time to pop in 🙂
