CURRENT MISSION

Making the most of my free time

ABOUT ME

I am in Naturopathic Medical school and scheduled to graduate in 2012. I have a BS in Nutrition Science from Cal Poly, SLO. I love to cook, eat good food and spend time with friends. I am always up for a good happy hour and love discovering the best food Portland has to offer...and that's a lot!

I am a freelance writer. You can check out some of my stuff at www.neighborhoodnotes.com, which is also a great place to get neighborhood news specific to Portland, or www.jbrighten.com.

I've been a yoga instructor and involved in the fitness industry for about a decade. My lifestyle is active- I love to work out, ride my bike, walk my dog, hike, snowboard and just plain MOVE!

I have my own chickens. I garden and have the goal of supplying 80% of my produce from my crops this summer.

I would love surfers who are into the same things I am, but it's not required. I love to knowledge swap, so diversity is good in my book.

I live with my boyfriend, who is also on here. He plays the guitar and recently began playing the djembe. You are welcome to bring your own instrument and play.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host. I surf. I was verified, but due to a move they've "unverified" me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experiences have always been great. Let's keep it that way!

PS- If you are one of those guys who takes pictures of themselves without their shirt on in their bathroom mirror- I will deny you. What you do on your own time is fine by me, but I'm a girl and I gotta keep it safe.
