- Favorite spot for Happy Hour: Bonfire on SE 28th and Stark-My favorite thing to have there is the lamb gyro. Cheap and so delicious.
- Favorite Cocktail: Is beer a cocktail? I always will enjoy a good Amber Ale.
- Favorite spot for adventure in Oregon: I haven't adventured many places in Oregon since I've been here, so there are many places I still want to see. However, spending a misty day at the coast is lovely, and a good hike in the Gorge on a sunny day is the best.
- Favorite spot for adventure in Portland: Laurelhurst Park is one of my favorite place to hang out in Portland. I can relax in this park for hours...only if it's not raining. Laurelhurst isn't quite the "adventure" place, but is definitely a great place to hang out or enjoy the fresh air.
- How do you you take your coffee: I love my coffee with a little bit of cream, sugar, and only once a day.
- Mode of Transportation: Bike, bus, and my LEGS.
- What you are reading right now (book): I'm excited to start reading "A Homemade Life by Molly Wizenberg." My anatomy book is always a classic too.
- What you are watching right now (TV): I'm not into any particular TV show right now, but I usually am watching Modern Family or The Office. I also love to watch lectures on TED Talks-Does that count as TV?
- What you are listening to right now (ipod): My Adele, Lily Allen, Raphael Saadiq, and Yann Tiersen pandora stations are all pretty great right now.
