About Me

	Hi. My name's Vanessa and I just graduated from a 
small boarding school in Southern California. Next year
I'm going to be attending UCSD (yeah Tritons!)as a frosh.
I actually grew up on a sheep and cattle ranch in the 
middle of Idaho, and I took up surfing when I came to 
California four years ago to go to school. I ride a 6'4"
Al Merrik and surf Rincon almost every day in the spring
when I don't have other sports to practice. In the winter
I play soccer (goalie) and also enjoy volleyball and tennis.
I play guitar and sax in a couple of bands at school (one of
which was lovingly nicknamed "heavy beaver" by a rival band)
I'm also into the outdoors - stuff like kayaking, camping,
hiking, etc. I've surfed in California and Mexico, and traveled
to places like Fiji, Tahiti, Hawaii, Belize, Venezuela, 
the British Virgin Islands, and Baja on scuba diving trips.    
Well, that's about it.
(also, if there's anyone out there from UCSD, drop me an e-mail!)
The pictures to the left are of me (far left) and a couple of
my best friends. Below, I am with my cute little cousins!
