Hi, Im Carissa. I currently live in Silverlake ( LA, CA) and am from a small town on the Central Coast of CA. I moved to LA to go to college and ended up staying and loving it. I worked as a high profile nanny, preschool teacher and Creative Director of a children's business. Now I am taking some time to travel and explore. I am described by friends as a fun loving, easy going girl who loves good food and coffee. I gravitate toward interesting conversations and exploring new places both in LA and abroad. Im really into astrology at the moment and healthy fresh cooking. I love going to local farmers markets to get food and preparing meals for friends. I love good coffee shops and going to the beach to lay out and relax. Hiking is in my routine as well as dance. I used to dance professionally ( ballet, jazz and modern) in my teens and now I like to take dance classes for fun. My ideal day would be getting up, grabbing coffee, going to the beach or local market to explore, seeing friends and a nice dinner out. I like to go shopping and would love to explore a new city with a local as they know best!
