I feel most comfortable with other sensitive, kind hearted, honest, creative, passionate and open minded people. I am a body surfer at heart--physically, emotionally, mentally riding the waves I chose. I earned a dual degree in Biological Aspects of Conservation at UW-Madison and went on to do sports massage therapy. I love travel and learning new things. Currently I work for a company remodeling homes, do photography, and still do massage therapy and bodywork on the side. I LOVE the great outdoors and the life overflowing in nature.
