Paul
My name’s Paul Pacheco, I’m 29yrs old and grew up in Stockton California (although I was in fact born here!). I’ve been with Urban Excursions for a little over a year now, and it truly has been a wonderful experience.
Since my service in the Marines, the desire to serve people has been my lifelong mission and Urban Excursions has definitely allowed me to enjoy life with the people I work with.
My faith and love for people has truly inspired me to continue to serve in any and all situations that life brings my way. I look forward to meeting you all on the next Excursion!
KAREN!
SUSAN!Susan brings a background in organizational development as a designer and facilitator of employee and management learning initiatives to her role at Urban Excursions. Her passion for life-long learning lends itself well to engaging our guests in the adventures she gets to share with them. As a caregiver to her own grandmother, Susan experienced first hand the benefits that socialization and activity brought to her grandmother’s final years. Susan loves exploring all that Portland has to offer and when she’s not doing that with Urban Excursions, she’s exploring with her husband and their 110 pound Great Dane puppy, Zeus!

TEEA!
Hi, I’m LaTeea Martin born and raised in Portland, Oregon. I have eight years of experience as a caregiver working with all ages and backgrounds but my love for the out doors, being exposed to new things, exploring the city and still wanting to be an impact on others brought me to Urban Excursions. When I’m not working I’m usually spending time with family and friends and watching sports!
SHELLY
Hi There! I have been assisting and working for seniors since mid-2016 in various roles, including moving assistance, senior care facility office assistance, diet and specialized food service, and medical appointment escorting here in 3 Portland Senior Living communities. I also have special memory care and understanding training. In these roles, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time and involvement with older adults, getting to know them in a personal as well as service capacity. I would often hear about some of their families, and listened with keen and heartfelt interest to their life stories they tell.
One of my life goals is to help our Seniors in positive ways. Spending supportive social time with them is so important, and I find it very rewarding to help them enjoy being in our beautiful NW outdoors and exploring all Portland has to offer through Urban Excursions all year around. I also enjoy bicycling, camping, family time, live music and home projects when I’m not on our outings!
WE LOVE OUR VOLUNTEERS!! Peggy and Lisa!
WE LOVE OUR INTERNS ZARIAH AND DESSERY!
