THE Gemini

About Me

I'm Jamie, born in Portland, Oregon, raised mostly in Utah. I have lived in Costa Rica. Also Paris, Vonnas, and La Celle, all in France. About me...hmmmm...I am very friendly and outgoing. I love my friends and family, they are everything to me. My favorite things to do are: surfing (really anything to do with the water or the beach). I used to spend all day at the beach and in the water. I also love volleyball! I love going out with friends and partying, but I wouldn't trade a peaceful night at home curled up with a book and no cell phone for much. Also movie nights with pizza and my girlfriends. I lived in Costa Rica for about a year and a half practicing massage at a day spa and eventually worked for myself. I then moved to Paris to study the culinary arts at a school called Le Cordon Bleu. I have completed my internships in France and am now back in the US....for most of the time. I was just offered a fantastic position with an even more fantastic company. Called Lindblad Expeditions. Will be traveling the world doing what I love. What more could I ask for?.... Four months paid vacation a year to spend in the best place ever...Costa Rica. Oh ya, I have that, forgot....almost!I love meeting fun people....if that is you, write!!! Thanks for checking me out!

My Interests

Anything that gives me an adrenaline rush, makes me laugh, or makes me sweat ;).... right....anyway. I love to cook! I can't wait to return to a seaside town so I can do and see the things I love everyday! Like surfing!! I love going to good concerts, driving really fast, drinking with friends....sometimes. (Don't much like the hangovers). And just having a good time, whether that is jumping out of an airplane or hanging out for a movie night with friends!
