I am an Oregon native with a passion for alternative health care. Most of my traveling is to expand my career.

I enjoy traveling fully equipped with everything I might need, and do my best to be a guest worth welcoming back.

A couple of my favorite quotes include:
"Do the work, and then it is done." - Anna
"Advice is free, so take it for what it is worth; sometimes it is worth your time." - a guy at a small restaurant on the Oregon coast
"Harm none, thyself or others, mentally, emotionally nor physically. Do as ye will." -Mother

I like to listen and I like to converse. But talking can be overrated. And puns (dad jokes) make life a hoot. I hope your day is swell and that you get to share a few laughs. Take care!!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling the Baja of Mexico from the most southern point to Los Angeles.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to make compassion look fashionable, tree hugging seem desirable and the burden of making the world a more balanced place look like a priviledge. I have no idea how, but if I could learn, teach and share these things I would be grateful.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to cook, tidy and laugh.
