Mariah works in healthcare and is originally from Alaska, while Marc is an engineer who grew up here in Portland. We love to travel with our two kids (ages 8 and 11) on long weekends and school vacations. Our low-maintenance flat-coated retriever, who loves to cuddle and has a heart of gold, often joins us on road trips, though she may stay behind if we fly. Since 2021, we’ve been exploring the world through home exchanges, and we're excited to introduce our kids to France and Italy in June/July 2026. We have two homes available for exchange: our primary residence in Portland, Oregon, and a cozy cabin in Rhododendron, on Mount Hood. We’re looking forward to connecting with others who share a passion for home exchanging!
