CURRENT MISSION

I'm just an aspirant young thang trying to herd butterflies and nail jelly to a tree.

ABOUT ME

Hello fellow surfers. I'm a born and raised Cali girl from Los Angeles. After finishing my Masters at Azusa Pacific University and working for a couple years I decided to make some changes and live abroad. I've been living in Galicia, Spain since October 2010 and loving every minute of it. I figure while I'm single and without the big adult responsibilities like children and a mortgage why not travel and discover new people and places? My eyes have definitely been opened to a world I didn't know before and I'm thankful it. Over all I love life and can't wait to see what's ahead!

PHILOSOPHY

You reap what you sow. So do good in this world!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Europe is old. I love that. Every place I've visited has tons of history. This is my first time in Europe and the moment that was most impactful to me was seeing Stonehenge in person. Now, I know it's just a bunch of mysterious standing stones, but the fact they're older than dirt just blows my mind. I love what they represent and how they've withstood the test of time. I'm eager to visit other ancient things left behind through the centuries.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to share my time and energy. I feel like even though we live in an age where everyone is interconnected through technology, we're the most disconnected. People are busy. Back home I'm used to everyone either being on the phone, busy on the computer or driving everywhere so you loose out on meeting new people and making connections. While in Spain my goal has been to break that cycle. I want to invest in people and in friendships. So let's be friends!
