CURRENT MISSION

to show and find humanness in all of us

ABOUT ME

We are a happy couple together for 2.5 years now and hope to have a lifetime together. We are drama and stress free. We love adventure and traveling just about anywhere. We also love to meet new people and think that is the best way to experience a new place.

We are open minded and straight forward so dont be afraid or hesitate to ask us questions before or upon meeting us. We love to share our knowledge and experiences with others and learn from them as well.

Potential hosts, we will be greatful to stay in your home and understand how much it means to share a part of your life with us.

Potential travelers, we honestly want you to visit, whoever you are. We want you to have a great time in our little corner of the planet. We like to see the good in humanity. We want to be able to give you the best experience you can possibly have.

PHILOSOPHY

"When all you have is nothing, there is a lot to go around" \

"Take care of the small stuff and the big stuff takes care of itself"

Live slow, and die whenever (meaning life is to be enjoyed and you cannot live in fear!)

"Give a man a fish, he eats for a day; teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime" - coined by Anne Isabella Thackeray Ritchie

"When there is a huge solar energy spill, it's called a nice day" - Adam Browning

"If you want something you've never had before, you have to do something you've never done before"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We are both well traveled and there are WAY too many good experiences to narrow it down to one -

Teach, Learn, Share

We have a lot of recommendations for the Portland area even though we haven't lived here for that long.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We are very respectful guests and will leave the place as clean as when we arrived. We are both great cooks and Elishia is a fantastic baker (so feel free to put in a request. She loves to share her sweets)

We love to get to know our hosts and would be happy to hangout. However, we also understand that most people have busy schedules and can handle taking care of our own travel needs as well.
