After A Week Long Send Off, My Round the World Trip kicked off with eight days in Maui visiting my sister Sarah who has split her time between Hawaii and Alaska for many years. What an epic way to start this adventure! There was mist falling when my sister greeted me at the Kahului airport on Maui a week ago, so she teased me about bringing the rain from the mainland. We headed straight for Paia where she presented me with a young coconut and a lei, accompanied by the chant for the gifting-of-a-lei.
A number of circumstances collided recently to compel me to move the Lucky Penny to my property in Walla Walla where I have a ground bound small house called Valencia Cottage. So on Tuesday trusted tiny house movers Linh and Stephanie Pham helped me move the Lucky Penny safely from Portland to my place in Walla Walla.
As I packed up recently in preparation to travel cross country in my Honda Fit, I did some downsizing… It was harder than it had been during my last couple of moves because this time I had more stuff. I’d been living in a bigger space…My apartment was a studio, but it was still about 6 times bigger than the Lucky Penny! I talked with several people about the experience and a handful of them said “oh my goodness, I need to do more of that!” So I’ve decided to offer a 6-week Downsizing Tune Up…

This past spring I had the opportunity to do a video interview with an awesome German film team from WDR who were here to explore what makes Portland, OR so, well, weird!
And, of course, why we like it that way! Today they shared the video that resulted from their explorations of Portland, including footage of the World Naked Bike Ride, zoobombing, and, of course, tiny houses.
I'm proud to be featured as one of the folks keepin' it weird in Portland. If you want to check out my part but your attention span is short after the naked people disappear, you can scroll to the 10:05 minute mark. Enjoy!
