About Me

Hi, I'm Bre.
I love to travel. In fact I've lived in several different places including Portland, Oregon, Denali, Alaska, and Atlanta, Georgia. Alaska was th most intense. I was able to experience truly rustic ways of living- hitchiking, hostels, flyfishing, the glorious arctic circle, Mt. Mckinley, the northern lights, bizarre weather changes, and a really bad case of insomnia. All in all though, I'm a pretty average kind of girl. I graduated from college in December, and I am currently working in the horticulture/plant industry.

My Interests

Anything that isn't boring-including travel, music, gardening, cooking, illustrating, photography, composing/playing guitar & piano, singing, reading (especially the american novel), a great conversation, wine tastings, hiking, decorating, pilates, shopping, plays/concerts/shows, architecture.

I'd like to meet:

Television:

I don't watch too much television-It's over-rated. I do watch all of the tennis grand-slams. My guilty pleasure is Dog the Bounty Hunter. Globe trekker is a good show.
Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations is incredible. He really cracks me up.
Why isn't radio important anymore?

Books:

The Fountainhead changed my life.
Reading a lot of folk stories: The Princess Badoura, Arabian Nights, East of the Sun and West of the Moon, & In Powder and Crinoline -Mainly because I am completely obsessed with illustration by artists, Arthur Rackham, Kate Greenaway, John Tenniel, Ernest H. Shepard, Edmund Dulac, & Kay Nielsen.
The Aeneid-a classic of course, and much better than The Odyssey.
Kings of infinite space-speculative fiction, and incredibly funny.
confessions of a teen sleuth-for all of those Nancy Drew readers...You know who you are...Absolutely hilarious.
Kitchen Confidential-Everything you ever wanted or didn't want to know about the restaurant industry.

Heroes:

Anyone with a sense of humor.
