I'm a travel writer for a living, and in that capacity I've spent most of my adult life traveling around, often for months at a time, and living in a number of different places. For the past seven years, I've been in New Mexico, the first five in Santa Fe, and then more recently in Albuquerque. However, I'm moving to Portland, Oregon, in late August, and very much looking forward to that, although I'll continue to visit Albuquerque once or twice a month for a while. New Mexico has been a wonderful experience in every way, but I've been gradually getting restless and have wanted to try something new.
