Oregon girl I’ve been around the world, lived in many states and accumulated a myriad of addresses, but Oregon is where I’m “from.” The Oregon Trail is for explorers, wanderers, cultivators. We seek. We create. We do. I am a creative minded explorer of the world. Off the Oregon Trail, currently living and doing and documenting life across borders in Copenhagen, Denmark. With my boisterous family of five, I am enjoying this journey with all its bumps and turns. I believe in continually learning and growing. An aesthete at heart, I have an appreciation for design – as much in the natural world as in architecture or art. I haven’t been everywhere yet, but it’s on my list. When you are open to the world, the world opens for you. I adore meeting new people, discovering their “from” story and learning how that impacts their why and here and now. Here on OregonGirl you will find stories, images and thoughts on connecting as humans. Want to connect? I’d love it! Get in touch – let’s collaborate.
