About Me

ABOUT ME

Hello,
My name is Leanora and I am born and raised in Oregon. I love being outdoors I am an avid kayaker, body boarder/surfer, snowboarder, hiker, and pretty much whatever else that involves getting an adrenaline rush and being in a beautiful place. I have traveled a bit and love the opportunity to see more of the world. I am currently in medical school and am traveling all over the US (and outside) working, trying to find all the unique gems of an area and figure out if that is where I want to practice in the future. but hope to travel a lot more in the future. I love food, beer, the water, animals, coffee, tea, books, chocolate and good friends.

PHILOSOPHY

Have fun!
