When most of us think about travel we envision passport-filled adventures somewhere halfway across the globe. The reality is romance, adventure, culture and nature can be found right here in our own backyard.
The United States is full of breathtaking domestic escapes that are just as memorable and picturesque as anything you could see abroad. One couple, Dai and Chris (@kqueen.dai and @lapondiajr) decided to grab a rental instead of a passport and head out on a baecation road trip through one of the country’s most underestimated destinations – Oregon.
Filled with nature hikes, gorgeous scenery, and of course, each other, Dai and Chris’ Oregon getaway shook up everything we thought we knew about exploring the beauty of home. Trust us, one look at their photos will have you ready to go on a domestic bae roadtrip adventure of your own. Thanks for the inspiration!

Welcome to Oregon
Oregon isn’t a destination most people consider when they’re looking for a fun or romantic vacation, but this coastal U.S. state in the Pacific Northwest has more to it than meets the eye. Venture beyond the bustling city streets of Portland to discover diverse natural landscapes, beaches, farms and more. June to August is the best time to visit for consistent weather and an abundance of outdoor activities to enjoy.

Feels Like Home
From upscale boutique hotels to unique farm accommodations, cabin rentals and more, there’s no shortage of places to stay in Oregon. Properties like the Allison Inn in Willamette Valley put you in the heart of nature and make you feel right at home.

Cheers to Love
Oregon isn’t a huge foodie destination in comparison to other states in the U.S., but did you know that it has a booming wine scene? What better way to reconnect with bae than with a romantic visit to a local winery where you can have tastings at boutique vineyards like Beckham Estate. Cheers to that!

Natural Wonders
Oregon has an abundance of natural wonders for you to indulge in during your visit. From the scenic beauty of Multnomah Falls and cutesy moments at Cannon Beach, to IG worthy lavender fields in Hood River Valley (Oh you thought France was the only place to do this?), there’s no shortage of cool things to get into.
