About Me
About me:
Now that I live nowhere near the ocean, my occasional surfs get harder and harder. Need to get rich, retire and surf more often. Wish List: Beach house in Peru, 1st Class air travel (probably can live without the private jet), another in the Caribbean, er... anywhere with warm water and few people.
