I'm a photography student who enjoys traveling and capturing my experiences on film and sharing them with others. I dance hula and Tahitian and I enjoy Polynesian cultures. When I'm not at work or at school I enjoy being outside in nature, particularly at the beach, listening to the sound of the waves crashing and the sight of the wave riders. Reading is a luxury and when combined with the background noise of the crashing waves and wind rustling through the trees, it becomes even more of a cherished experience. If those elements aren't readily available, then there's always the good ole White noise maker app on my iPhone! :) I enjoy art in all forms and going to exhibitions and museums. I have four dogs and enjoy going on walks with them and taking them to Dog Beach. There's something about watching dogs play on the beach and in the ocean that makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. :)
