CURRENT MISSION

Through many travels, I have discovered that people are overly generous and accepting, and I am more than ready to be the host that I have always eagerly anticipated...

ABOUT ME

i've been told i'm too independent. my husband and i have spent many years abroad and have had so many people open their doors to us that we felt we had to reciprocate. we both work full-time, no kids, one grumpy cat, but we love all of the above. we can't show you around town, but we love the cascades and can recommend some great hiking routes along the pct and/or mt. hood in the summer. we live in paradise and are excited to share it with adventurous travelers.

PHILOSOPHY

"life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away..."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

there is no way i could pick the best one. but here's one of the favorites: petted a tiger in kanchanaburi, thailand! or explored the ancient temples of ankor wat in cambodia! or bitten off my tongue skiing in portland! (don't worry, it grows back...)
