A married couple, we are parents of two grown children and four time grandparents. We thoroughly enjoy traveling to and living in different places, experiencing new peoples, cultures and the scenic beauty of each locale. Over the years we've visited Morocco, New Zealand, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, China, France, Mexico, Guatemala, Belize and Australia. Our favorite travel mode is slow - going somewhere and settling in to enjoy the local customs. When not on the road, we live in our own home located just west of Portland, Oregon.
We are both now retired from our corporate jobs. In our spare time we garden, bike ride, kayak, walk, read and occasionally pet sit for friends and neighbors. We've owned and maintained our own home for more than thirty years. While raising our children, we hosted many animals in our home when their families went off on vacation.
Since 2011, we have completed 34 house / pet sit assignments: four in Mexico, fourteen in Australia, nine in New Zealand, one in France, one on Norfolk Island and five in the USA.
We are currently planning our next adventure and are looking for opportunities Jan-Mar 2025.
