About Me

I'm now home and back to work. The last few months have been this amazing whirlwind of experiences. But... sooner or later it all had to end. Now I'm back home in my beautiful Hawaii. I spent Christmas surfing and New Years Eve hiking. It beats a crowded night club any day! I'm thrilled to be home!The trip to Machu Picchu was wicked! From the unbelievable hike to the fantastic views at the top of Machu Picchu the trip will be unforgettable. My body still hasn..t forgiven me yet..lol.The trip into the Amazon was amazing. I think it will take my number one favorite travel destination! But there is nothing like home! I created my profile with Myspace Layouts+

My Interests

Things that I Love- Hawaii (never want to move off the islands), the ocean, the mountains, the 'aina. My mom, who lives in Lahaina, my dog E'epa, my cats Ebony, Lilo, Stitch, and Kuma. My cheering section and my bestfriends, Becca and Alanna.Things that I Like- People who love and help animals and other people who can't help themselves. Surfing, swimming, SCUBA diving, water polo, salsa and country dancing, and rock climbing. Tae Bo (I'm a dork!!) and making my friends do it with me. Running at midnight and afternoon naps. Ice cream for breakfast.Things that I Dislike- Bad Samaritans (I stole this from the book, The Constant Gardener), people who say how terrible something is and then don't do anything about it. More often than I would like, I fall into this category. Just realize it and try to rise above it. People who say they are one thing.... and turn out to be another.Things that I Hate- Eating brussel sprouts and cleaning the toilet (I refuse to do either)!

I'd like to meet:

Doers...

Movies:

My current favs are The Constant Gardener, Mr. and Mrs. Smith My classics are Disney animated: The Lion King, Pocahontas, Beauty and the Beast, the Little Mermaid, Mulan, and Sleeping Beauty. The Phantom of the Opera, Chicago and Moulin Rouge.

Books:

Current fav - The Other Boylen Girl. I have loved the series written by Jame Herriot, All Creatures Great and Small, All Things Bright and Beautiful, All Things Wise and Wonderful and The Lord God Made Them All. Super cute! I also really like the Da Vinci Code and the Constant Gardener. Currently looking for another good read... Any sugggestions?

Heroes:
