While U.S. citizens only need a passport to drive or fly to Canada, many foreigners living in Portland and other towns throughout Oregon may need to obtain a visa to visit the Great North.
“Canada captivates visitors with its wildlife, wilderness and vibrant cultural offerings,” Lonely Planet reported. The publication noted the country “is more than its hulking-mountain, craggy-coast good looks: it also cooks extraordinary meals, rocks cool culture, and unfurls wild, moose-spotting road trips.” It added, “Spot polar bears, cruise Vancouver’s coastline, savor Toronto’s cuisine, or enjoy Montréal's music scene.” (https://www.lonelyplanet.com/articles/best-places-to-visit-in-canada; https://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinations/Canada)
Canada is the second largest country in the world by total area, and its southern border with the United States is the world’s longest international land border. Its more than 41 million people live in 10 provinces and three territories spanning six time zones. The country stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific, and north to the Arctic Ocean -- giving it the longest coastline on the planet.

North American visitors broke records in 2024, including the highest monthly total for U.S. travelers that December.
“Generous like its 23 million people, Taiwan offers wondrous vistas, lively traditions and a culture as luxuriant as Jade Mountain on a sunny day,” Lonely Planet reported. “With dynamic night markets jam-packed with delectable street food, gorgeous beaches, and soaring mountains, Taiwan offers lots in a small package,” the publication continued. “Just 395km (245 miles) from top to bottom, travelers will find futuristic cities, historic temples, and killer surf breaks – all connected by affordable high-speed rail. As one of the friendliest East Asian countries for LGBTIQ+ travelers, too, it's pretty much got everything.” (https://www.lonelyplanet.com/articles/best-places-to-visit-in-taiwan)
Taiwan (officially the Republic of China or ROC) consists of 168 islands in the East and South China Seas. It is located 100 miles west of the People’s Republic of China; less than 100 miles from islands within Japan and the Philippines; and south of Korea. The main island, Taiwan (also known as Formosa–Portuguese for “beautiful island”–or Chinese Taipei), comprises 99% of the country’s 13,974 square miles. Two-thirds of the island is covered in mountain ranges, but most people live in the plains areas of the metropolitan area surrounding the capital city of Taipei and Keelung. Most Taiwanese people are classified as subgroups of Han Chinese, so the ROC is an important center of Chinese culture and an environment where students can study the Mandarin language in a friendly and open society.
