A native Oregonian, Ann Smith has lived in Portland since 2000. She proudly owns the local PR firm, A.wordsmith, and avidly enjoys the city's culinary scene, sports teams, and outdoor patios where cider is served on sunny days. Allison Symonds moved to Portland in 2014, and the pine trees, Thai food, and wine soon won her over. Her guest room is now the resting spot of choice for countless friends and family members visiting the Pacific Northwest.
