CURRENT MISSION

We are still settling into our new city, Portland, Oregon... Loving each new discovery. Currently we are both seeking out grad school programs and growing a vegetable garden.

ABOUT ME

My name is Jessica and my partner in crime on this journey is Jordan. At the current moment we are living in Portland Oregon enjoying the dawn of spring. We are fun people who love to travel, speak Spanish, help out our community, grow our own food, and take advantage of the natural beauty our fabulous Oregon offers. Visiting with us may involve hanging and chatting over a bottle of wine, cooking, going out for a happy hour beer at on of our favorite pubs, a day at the beach, hiking, and biking/walking around Portland. We are also two people who love to relax when necessary and go on excursions when inspired.
