CURRENT MISSION To meet CouchSurfers in the Portland, OR area ABOUT ME I moved to Oregon in at the end of 2009 to pursue my career in the wine industry. The Willamette Valley is an excellent place to be! I work for Trisaetum Winery in the Ribbon Ridge region. I write a wine blog called Northwest Whites, contribute to a number of other print/online publications, and participate in a number of wine-related activities. I enjoy travel of all sorts, be it local, national or global. Spontaneous trips are my favorite. PHILOSOPHY Striving to make my life and that of those around me as simple and clutter/drama free as possible is my ultimate goal.
