“You must be crazy.” That’s what I keep hearing from those I’ve told that I’ll be moving to Portland.
I’m done with Fairbanks is the basic reason. There are a few other reasons but being done with Fairbanks should be sufficient enough. As of now I have no job when I get there but I do have a place to stay. I’m not too worried about the job situation besides I have about two months before I get there.
My journey there should be an interesting one that I intend on documenting as best I can. My first stop is Anchorage, Alaska where I will be spending a week. I’ve planned this trip around a conference for my current job during that week. Right now the details are a little fuzzy as to how to pull this off smoothly. Quitting a job while not in the town you work in is apparently a “bureaucratic nightmare,” so says the administrative assistant in my office. She’ll figure something out.
From Anchorage I will travel thorough Canada to Flathead Lake, Montana where my grandparents live to visit for the end of summer. Should be the beginning of fall when I get there though. After that I’ll be heading to Portland. The whole trip will no doubt ably be littered with detours and sidetracks. After all what’s the rush. I’ve got camping gear, a mountain bike and a kayak to play with!

Thanks for checking out our blog! I know you'll have a blast in Portland, after all everyone in Fairbanks is going to be there :) It'll be like you never left BWAHAHAHA! Except cooler and with more stuff to do.
Well Matt, I too moved before I had a job, or any prospects. And had to wait 2 months before I had a place to stay in the city. The difference looks to be that you'll know people when you get to Portland. And the interesting part is that Seattle is a place I am looking to move to, maybe. Its on the list.
