CURRENT MISSION

Check out New Orleans and the potential job scene

ABOUT ME

Let's see. I just finished school and the job scene for new grad RN's in PDX is dismal. I've lived here since 2001 but I've been feeling like maybe it's time to move on. Portland and the Northwest are amazing, the forests, the coast, the clean fresh air, the bike community, the neighborhoods. But I'm feelin' a change a-happening and I feel really drawn to New Orleans, so I gotta follow my heart and check it out.

PHILOSOPHY

Wow, kinda heady, huh?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a newbie to this group, but have slept on others/shared my couches for many moons. Can't offer my space at this time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

90% good times, the occasional mismatch.

Interests

Spending time outdoors, hiking, riding my bike... I'd almost always prefer to be outside than inside. Dancing. Yoga. Happy hours. Commuting to work/school/happy hour by bike. Growing food. Traveling. Learning new things. I realized in the last year that science is really cool. Who knew?

Music, Movies, and Books

All of the above. Music to shake it to, or relax with, a good piece of fiction or an interesting article.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just one? I have to think about that. Pretty much something amazes me every day!

Teach, Learn, Share

Ummm..., I guess I know a lot about natural medicine, midwifery, homeopathy, nutrition and herbs as well as how all that stuff interfaces with the dominant medical model.
