Portrait of US Podcast: EP #03 - Jennifer and Reed

A story about taking care of aging parents, cross country drives, and making the choice to live small.

Dec 03, 2022

In the summer of 2021 we were living in an RV park in Birch Bay Washington. Towards the end of our time there we invited our neighbors in the park to come and sit for a portrait. Jennifer and Reed were some of the first people to take us up on the offer and it was wonderful to get to know them more.

After the interview they invited us to their home and showed us how they live small, and shared some of their art with us. Their story has always stuck with us as we drive from coast to coast, crossing mountain passes with our trailer.
