Oregon - A Congenial Visit  

, , 0 comments

Those who had been carefully making a track of my Travel blog articles, they would’ve made one thing clear – I’m really getting you to know about places around the world. Another cool thing to be noted here is different people from different countries are able to get to know about places. Like when I had published my article about New Zealand there were a lot of people (mostly from U.S and Europe) who were able to know about the places which they have not been so familiar with and also were able to get some quick tips on account of their travel to those places.

Last time it was New Zealand, on which I had blogged about. And this time it’s gonna be Oregon. For those who are not so familiar with this place, here is a fact file.

  • Oregon is located in the northwest (pacific) region of United States
  • Oregon stretches for about 295 miles (north to south) and 395 miles (east to west)
  • Popular Tourist Spots: Otter Rock, Trillium Lake, Rockaway Beach, Cannon Beach


As I do mention in every travel blog, I would like to let you know about the place where you would enjoy staying at. You could contact Oregon Coast Vacation Rentals for any kind of details you need to know about staying anywhere in Oregon. They are well structured and has got more than 150 vacation rental homes along Oregon’s Northern and Central coastlines.

Earlier in one of my travel article “Winsome Vietnam”, I would’ve mentioned that in my future posts I would blog about various countries and here it is - Starting off with “New Zealand”. Am very much excited in writing about “New Zealand” – the place where the legendary film “Lord of the Rings” was filmed.

Let me begin with the list of notorious cities in New Zealand.

The one that you’ll find missing in this list will be Queenstown, though it doesn’t fall under the list of notorious cities, it’s one of the most exotic places in New Zealand. Apart from these there are several places, locations & sceneries, not so popular, as they are not tourist spots, but very beautiful and adventurous at the same time. You must be accompanied by an expert guide in order to see these places. But for rest of the places, you can make it out on your own. Here are some accommodation tips that could save your pocket and make your tour more memorable and enjoyable.
