The Big Apple to the Big... Pine Trees?
Let's rewind to the late 70s. Rachel, our intrepid heroine, was living the fast-paced New York City life. She was chasing dreams, dodging pigeons, and probably ordering way too many slices of pizza. Everything was going swimmingly until bam, a sudden case of "I-need-a-drastic-life-change" hit her harder than a bodega run-in.

The Great Escape
Now, you might think she packed her bags, hopped on a Greyhound, and headed straight for the Pacific Northwest. Nope. This is Rachel we're talking about. She decided to take a detour through Tahiti. Because, why not? Apparently, the answer to all life's problems can be found in a hula skirt and a coconut drink.
Tip: A slow, careful read can save re-reading later.
A Serendipitous Encounter
While sipping on a Mai Tai and contemplating her navel, Rachel met a free-spirited artist named Jasper. Turns out, Jasper was on his way to Portland to start a commune or something equally hippie-dippy. Being the adventurous soul she was, Rachel decided to tag along. "Why not?" she probably thought, "I've got a bikini and a passport. What else could go wrong?"
Tip: Read at your own pace, not too fast.

Portland: The Unexpected Destination
Fast forward a few weeks (and a few more Mai Tais), and there she was, standing in the drizzle of Portland, Oregon. The land of plaid shirts, microbrews, and questionable fashion choices. It was a far cry from the neon lights of New York, but hey, at least the air was cleaner.
Tip: Jot down one takeaway from this post.
And there you have it, folks. The convoluted, yet totally believable, tale of how Rachel ended up in Portland in 1982. Who knew a trip to Tahiti could lead to such a drastic change of scenery?
