V-Love’s Lonely Planet

Portland rocked.  Definitely my kind of city.  Reminds me of Austin a bit, only better.  The city not only has a young crowd but it’s a go green city with plenty of outdoor activity to suit me.  And the best part, I can see the mountains.  The company I interviewed with reminds me a lot of the people at my last job; young, energetic, and intelligent.  The trip ended with a day spent with an old family friend showing me around.  Taking me to the weekly Saturday market, for a small hike in the woods, and my first taste at Vegan food.  I did get an offer but I am still waiting to hear from the job I interviewed for in Colorado.

And this week, it’s off to Arizona for a few days for some interviews with an Aerospace company.  I’ll be staying in a Spa Resort, major change from the backpacker hostels.  Hopefully I get some time to go hiking in the mountains of Tucson. 

At least all of the interviews are giving me the opportunity to keep traveling .

I really do intend to keep on blogging about my travels and what I learned as well as uploading photos to the actual site.  Things have just been a bit hectic since I arrived home as my number one priority has been finding a new job and getting out of here!  Fortunately I am headed to a new location tomorrow, Portland, Oregon!  I’ll have the weekend to explore after some final round interviews.  If anyone has tips on things to see and do in Portland, please send my way.

And congrats to Veronica for a happy engagement!
