I started out my life in Kodiak, AK and have since lived all over the West Coast and the world - Oregon for 8 years, Bay Area for 10 years, and abroad for 6. Outside of that, I also travel extensively, so know how important it is to have a relaxing place to return to after a busy day. I hope my space offers that slice of relaxation for visitors from out of town!
