DP: So you’ve been in Portland for nine months, do you like it here?
KB: Yeah, it’s very pretty.
DP: What part of town are you living in?
KB: I live downtown on the waterfront between the Steel and Broadway bridges.
DP: Do you like it there?
KB: Yeah, it’s beautiful. It’s literally on the river and I have a deck I can get out on.
DP: Coming from Arizona, the weather most be a bit different for you, do you like it?
KB: Not when it rains a lot and it’s freezing… But yeah, I like it now.
DP: Would you say you like it more or less then Arizona?
KB: It kind of depends, I like Arizona when it’s not smoldering hot but I like it in Portland more in the summer, so I don’t know.
DP: Did you move to Portland because you already had a job here or did you just come here randomly?
KB: Actually my whole company moved here.
DP: What kind of work do you do?
KB: I do web design, mainly web applications.
DP: What kind of businesses would you say you mainly design for?
KB: All kinds, but they’re mainly start up companies.
DP: Being so close to your work, would you say that you find it convenient to transport everything you need in your bag/bags?
KB: Yeah, sometimes I just bring my laptop but today I felt like having a bag, so I did.
DP: But you have two bags?
KB: Well that way I can have regular things in one bag and my laptop secluded in the other.
DP: Do you use your laptop a lot for work?
KB: Yeah, I can work from almost anywhere.
DP: Is it easy for you to get around?
KB: Yeah, I like taking the max.
DP: Where do you take the max?
KB: I take it around downtown a lot and to the airport, but a still do drive a bit.
DP: Do you go to the Airport to pick up clients or is it for travel?
KB: I travel a lot.
DP: Where was the last place you went?
KB: To Europe.”
DP: Did you have a favorite place that you went?
KB: Definitely Greece, It’s really pretty, everyone’s really nice, and they love Americans.
DP: Was there a part of the trip that you didn’t like?
KB: Probably Spain, I had my wallet stolen there.
DP: After looking over the contents of your bag, would you consider yourself fairly organized?
KB: Hahaha uhh, no.
DP: It seems that you don’t have the things necessary for being gone a long time from your home. Would you say you use your bag as a way of just taking the bare necessities from home, knowing that you are going to be back soon?
KB: “Yeah, definitely. It was different when I was in a place like Europe. I’m so close to home I don’t really need to bring a lot of stuff.
DP: If you could only have one item from all the things we found in your bags today what would it be?
KB: Uhh, well this may sound really weird but my phone.
DP: Which one?
KB: My iphone, it’s kind of a safety thing.
