Tirian Strider Mink


born on April 2, 1976 in the beautiful city of Portland, Oregon.

I am a student at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania, but my heart resides on the West Coast. Although Swarthmore is one of the best places in the country to get an education, it is lacking in the areas where my interests reside. I will be spending the 1996-97 academic year at The School For Field Studies in Costa Rica and at University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon.
If you have never been to Portland then you are really missing out! Select this link for a live view of Portland's downtown area (updated every few minutes) from the historic Pittock Mansion, high atop the Sylvan hills overlooking the city.

(Remember, visits only please. We have so many people moving to Portland from California, and other overpopulated and overpolluted places, that we are starting to have some of the same problems that caused these people to move in the first place.)

I, like most students at this crazy school, keep myself busy with various activies.

Please excuse the mess I am just learning how to use this HTML stuff. Choose this link to learn how to do it yourself!
