Autorenporträt
Janet Farr (Jan) is a self-proclaimed authentic Boomer on the loose. Typical of Baby Boomers reaching that certain age, Jan seeks to re-invent her 40+ year career experience as a business and technical writer. She also shares that boomer-typical desire to pursue meaning in her next phase in ways that make a positive difference in the lives of others. Jan is a transplant from the Kansas City area, and before that, central Michigan. In 2009 she finally took steps to realize her dream to experience the Pacific Northwest outdoor lifestyle and culture unique to Portland. Exploring the forests, wetlands, mountains, gardens, the coast, wine country, the gorge, downtown and more. Experiencing the quirky arts and culture scene - thriving side-by-side with the high-profile - the caring-for-people attitude, the amazing summers and yes, even the rain making the elegant ruggedness possible. Not to mention, abundant beginner photo opportunities. She's cursed with an eagerness to research and organize vast amounts of information into useful chunks that delight, surprise and help her Boomer audience. And what better subjects than hundreds of leisure ideas, options and opportunities just waiting for reinventing Boomers, and what better place than in and around Portland.
