The Travel Massive Portland chapter showed up in full force for our May Meet Up at Northwest Portland Hostel & Cafe. Shoutout to Chelsea Wilcox and Kylie Curtis for carefully crafting such a wonderful evening.
The event brought together travel industry professionals for networking, live music, and tours highlighting the hostel’s history. Additionally, 10% of food and drink proceeds were donated to Carpe Mundi programs, which support low-income college students through travel abroad scholarships and mentorship.
Northwest Portland Hostel’s owners, Jim Kennett and Britta Diettrich, also shared insights about their work since 1998. The hostel serves over 25,000 guests annually from more than 50 countries across six buildings, making it a key location in the local travel community.

What a wonderful gathering! It was great to see familiar faces and welcome some new members. We’ll be taking a little time this summer to enjoy the sunshine, but stay tuned for details on our next event coming in early fall.
If you’re interested in volunteering or helping us host future events, be sure to reach out —we’d love to have you involved!
We loved hosting this fun event!
