One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

visited graceland! my dream from when i was little was to visit memphis, i did it nearly 2 years ago and i had the best time! Also meeting citizen cope was awesome...i've been the biggest fan for so long..though when i met him i was kinda drunk and kinda starstruck!! hahaha but he just smiled and laughed along with me :)

also bringing sleeping bags to the beach in virginia beach after a night out partying with my friends and some guys we met and watching the sunrise together, having random conversations!

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to share memories with other surfers.

I want to learn to surf, to sing in public without being embarrassed, to give a great massage, more veggie recipes, to grow my own veggies, a new language, to play the guitar.
