“Having traveled Oregon clockwise throughout my career, I am so thrilled to have settled down in Southern Oregon! My husband and I really love this region—if it takes commuting then we are committed to that. We love living here, who wouldn’t? It is beautiful with a temperate climate and is near both San Francisco and Portland. But mostly it is the people, the land, the sense of culture and the tremendous fabric of community here.
