Portland Timbers defender Zarek Valentin sits down to talk about the Rose City, his dog and his aims to take up hiking.
What are some of your favorite things to do so far in Portland?
“My fiancée and I are huge on restaurants, so we love going to new restaurants. Portland is such a great city for food, so we really enjoy that aspect of it. But, I’d love to get into hiking more. I recently purchased some hiking shoes, so once we get into summer, that will be part of the regeneration process for me.
