LOVE, WANDER, LUST. Words that combine in ways that define me as: a surfer, a writer, a traveller, and a lover of many, many things. Homegrown in Los Angeles, I tend toward a daily routine of surfing El Porto, overcoming writer's block at M Cafe, and happy houring at Luna Park. But true to my wanderlust nature, I strive/yearn to take monthly jaunts to far away places, whether the mileage is ten thousand or one hundred. I’m earnestly seeking a lifestyle that balances cultural experiences, physical movement, and community connections. This blog serves to chronicle this journey.
