CURRENT MISSION

To find the ultimate experience and the perfect tan.

ABOUT ME

I am all about sunrises rocking harder than sunsets, dancing in the rain and rolling down hills... and believing that life is a circle AS WELL as a straight line. Traveling opens your mind and enriches your life.

PHILOSOPHY

There is a poem that ends with this line "All you touch, and all you see... is all that you shall ever be." Every moment is who you are.

Interests

the beach, photography, travel, surfing, capoeira, dancing, massages, jamming, zipping, collecting sunsets, catching sunrises, french pressed coffee, cold beer, collective cooking w friends, hugs, smooches, lip balm, the smell of sticky bumps, the sound of a board being waxed, thinking about waves, bbq popcorn, peanut butter, learning, good conversations, the environment, making a difference, making the drop, percussions, rolling down hills, walling a wave, dancing in the rain, discovering things, being random with a purpose

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's hard to pick one so the one for this week is going to be: snorkeling with a sea snake.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a lapsed capoeirista, a beginner surfer and have recently also learned to spin poi. I tinker in the kitchen and make my own recipes. Oh and I have been a published writer/photographer for about 7 years.

I would love to learn to play percussion more accurately and how to cut patterns for sewing.
