The whole order
Where to start, what comes next and how the night fits together so you are not standing on a sidewalk deciding between twelve saved Reels.
PNW PASSPORT GUIDES
I did the planning. You get to have the fun.
One of the great mysteries of adulthood is how two people can want to go on a date and still spend the evening looking at each other saying, “I don't know, what do you want to do?”
I make these guides so you can skip that part. Real outings with a sensible order, useful links and backup plans for when Portland decides the sky belongs indoors.
THE PORTLAND DATE GUIDE · $27
WE NEEDED A DATE THAT DIDN’T SUCK.
Ten Portland dates, already planned from first stop to last. Pick your mood, check the details and go be interesting together.
Inside the 74-page digital PDF: where to start, what comes next, timing, approximate costs, booking notes, accessibility considerations, rain alternatives and links you can open while standing on the sidewalk. It's especially for the person who usually ends up doing all the work.
For once, that person gets to enjoy the date, too.

I made this because date night should not die in a group chat.
WHAT YOU’RE ACTUALLY BUYING
What you get for your $27.
A guide is only useful if it helps when you're standing there, hungry, with five percent battery.
Timing + budget
How long to give each part and what the date roughly costs before someone accidentally orders the emotional-support second cocktail.
Reservation reality
What needs to be booked, what can be spontaneous and the details most likely to wreck the plan if you ignore them.
Getting around
Transportation and practical notes so the beautiful evening does not become a 42-minute parking argument.
Rain + access notes
Because this is Portland. Weather happens. Bodies have different needs. A useful guide should know both things.
Phone-ready links
The stuff you actually need when you are standing there: booking, directions and the next stop without reopening the research project.
HOW TO USE IT
Three steps. Nobody starts a planning committee.
1
Pick one of the ten missions based on the night you actually want.
2
Check the timing, cost, reservations, weather backup and access notes.
3
Use the live links, get dressed and go be interesting together.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF…
You want the date, not another list.
You keep going to the same places. You are new to Portland. You have visitors. You are tired of being the designated planner. Or you just want somebody else to make one decision for once.
THIS IS NOT…
“75 romantic Portland restaurants.”
I am not charging you $27 to hand you a prettier Google search. The value is the order, logistics, backup plans and the fact that the evening has already been thought through.
SUPPORT THE LITTLE NEWSROOM
Your next date helps fund our next story.
This little newsroom runs on questions, phone calls, driving, reporting, photographs and more hours at a keyboard than I care to admit. When you buy a guide, part of that money helps keep the independent stories and strange local discoveries available to read for free.
You get a night out. I get to keep asking people what happened next. I like that arrangement.
NEXT
More guides, as fast as I can obsessively make them.
Portland got the first one. I have more problems to over-research.
