RE: The Next Time I Leave the USA, I Am Not Coming Back...
Oregon is nice. The rent here is astronomical the closer you get to Portland though. I highly recommend either Rockaway Beach or somewhere along the coast range. People are friendly and the rent is much cheaper than the metro area.
Renting outside of Portland is smart, but if you know people in the city that can give you more affordable rent then you can live there. I spent most of last summer near Salem, but I live in Portland now (and in the past). It is really nice to live here. There is just sooooo much opportunity. Craigslist, Offerup, and the Goodwill Bins here are amazing. Crazy deals all over the place. There is also a lot of work available as well as events of all kinds year around.
