Description
Come hang in Portland! This summer I have a room available in a cute 1926 old farmhouse in NE Portland. I'm walking distance to coffee shops, restaurants, yoga, thrift stores and parks.
Ollie and Sal also like adventures and some days taking them out on a long hike would be the most helpful. In Portland, Oregon you will be surrounded by incredible food, outdoor adventures, and one of the most bike-able cities in the North America. You can borrow one of my bikes to explore the city, or use public transportation. Nearby attractions include the scenic Columbia Gorge (bike tour-able), the Oregon Coast (bike tour-able), Mount Hood, Mount St. Helens, Mount Adams...and so much more. Portland has many opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast, city adventurer, and also many cultural activities.
Main project right now is in the garden. Mostly watering, planting and deadheading.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I'd love to make some dinners together and share recipes and stories. I love to play backgammon or watch a show in the evening. I know a lot about the native flora and fauna and love sharing about this. I owns a preschool, so am a book of knowledge about all things Early Childhood related. I have an extra bike to share and there are many bike paths/streets close to us and all around Portland. I live in the Cully neighborhood of NE/SE Portland. I'm close to public transportation, the Columbia River Gorge and th Alberta Arts District.
Help
Hi there! I have myriad projects around the home and yard. Depending on your skill sets you might help with weed whacking, hedge trimming, watering the garden, cleaning, taking the pup out on adventures... Ollie and Sal are my charming mini aussie pups and they love walks, going to the dog park, the ball and trail adventures.
There is no fixed schedule. When you arrive we'll do a walkabout to discuss the yard and garden. My request is that you are physically able to do light tasks for 1-2ish hours/day . I don't provide meals though will gladly invite you to eat dinner with me if I'm around and cooking.

Accommodation
You'd have your own room and a shared bathroom, kitchen and living space. The bedroom is in a common space upstairs with a twin bed. It's sweet and homey, just not lockable. You are welcome to join me for any breakfast or dinners we are cooking. If you want to cook a meal you're welcome to use anything in the kitchen including basic staple ingredients such as: condiments, grains, oils and spices! Please purchase your own alcohol. We are a smoke free house inside and outside. You must like or love dogs.
What else ...
I live a simple and quiet life at home. I love to cook dinner and go to new and beloved Portland restaurants. I rise early and go to bed at a reasonable hour. I love to play backgammon, read, or watch a show in the evening. I value a clean living space, good conversations around the kitchen table and to hang with Ollie + Sal. I am sober, but the fun kind. :)
