There is a cheese restaurant within the the town of Portland Maine that is open until 2 am! It has great scenery, nearby shops and it is a walkable town. I would recommend seeing a poet named Joe who is by the bay to write you a poem!

I traveled after a breakup. I always loved visiting Portland. I went to the Japanese friendship garden, hiked multnomah falls and just ventured out. I loved going there and I wanted to live there but couldn’t foit the bill. Met some very nice people as well. I miss the coffee.
Posted: February 27, 2024I made a solo trip to Portland in November last year. I only had 2.5 days, but I tried to make the most of that time. I ate and drank at many cool breweries and restaurants. Breakfasts were the most important. Portland definitely knows how to do a proper breakfast. I attended a great concert at Revolution Hall. I managed to watch people and walk along McCall's waterfront. One morning I went to Multnomah Falls (if you go early, there's hardly anyone there). Seeing a photo of Multnomah Falls put Portland on my travel list. I stayed in Southeast Portland (which I really liked) and walked almost everywhere.

Portland is a super cute old New England town. Very walkable with lots of shops and coffee shops. Lobster rolls and fresh oysters here are amazing. Only have visited Portland for day trips and was able to see most of the city. Taking a a driving tour is helpful to get a feel and history of the city. There are also a lot of hills so you will definitely get your stairs in.
Posted: August 24, 2023I went on a quick solo trip to Portland and its surroundings. I loved the full-day trips and a few of the neighborhoods in the city. I had a wonderful time there. The city has a really relaxed, friendly atmosphere, and the people are incredibly nice.

I have been here for 4 months and I come from Europe so it is hard to say how safe it is in my perspective. At home I’m totally not scared to walk in the dark, but I am here and it’s because of all the American stories and a lot of homeless people. They usually let you be, but it still feels a little scary to walk around them.

I’ve always dreamed of traveling abroad and I’m finally able to for the first time, and I am so excited but nervous to travel solo!
