ABOUT ME

Hello fellow surfers! My name is Mari and I am a Bay Area native , I grew up for most of my life in Berkeley, Ca.(true hippie kid at heart). I moved to Northern CA. (Sacramento Valley) when I got married. Since my hubby is active duty in the USAF and deploys once a year or so I find myself traveling alone sometimes and would love to meet and make new friends on CS. I am an avid Bay Area Sports fan and love taking my new friends to watch my teams play. I am currently a full time nursing student in hopes to finish my BSRN in 2017. I love helping my community, my husband and I regularly work our local charities on projects with veterans and their families.
