UPDATE: Please don't rec. This doesn't need to take up space on the rec list. Feel free to share it with any Portlanders you may know, though.
My 25-year-old son is moving to Portland, O on Nov. 1st. I'm trying to gather some points of contact for him should he need them. He's in the running for a job at a float tank operation, which he would really love, but it's not a sure thing. He plans to stay in hostels and has one booked for the short term. If he doesn't get the float tank job, he'll be looking for alternatives. He's a brilliant writer, a semi-professional philosopher and an experienced permaculturist.
I know there are a lot of kossacks in Portland and just wanted to touch base with you so that Daniel will have some contacts out there. So if you have any advice or wouldn't mind helping him out if needed, please let me know. He's very independent and won't be hitting you up for money or anything like that. If he runs out of funds before finding work and settling in, he'll simply head back this way. I just thought it would be good for him to have some friends out there.
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
