I was born on the prairie lands in South Dakota. My childhood years were spent in many US locales, Sweden and Canada (and you wonder how I became a leftie).
I went to the University of Oregon where I studied International Studies and German. Spent two years studying in Germany and one year in India through the University of Wisconsin.
Portland, Oregon is where I have, hopefully, settled down with my dear husband who's a software engineer and Linux junkie.
I own a small business, assist my mom on her small farm in Ridgefield, WA, and am a political junkie.
Hiking, skiing, travelling, eating and hanging out with my husband and friends.
