Current Rock of Residence:
Perdido Key
Island Girl Since:
2016
Originally Hails From:
South Louisiana
A water baby since toddlerhood, Olivia was in the water any chance she got. Waves, pools, sprinklers – it didn’t matter. This girl is willing to swim in any body of water deemed safe (or not), and the only person crazy enough to swim in the ocean without a wetsuit in the middle of March. She moved to the beach and became a “professional” boogie boarder, margarita tester, beach runner, and roach killer. She loves boating, traveling to any new beach, and enjoys trying (and failing) at new water sports.

If Once You Have Slept on An Island
A hundred year old poem that has stood the test of time... If once you have slept on an island You'll never be quite the same: You may look as you looked the day before And go by the same old name, You may bustle about in street and shop You may sit at home and sew,...

Link Up Local
Either you are into searching, scouting and finding out new, (yeah, new what??), new everything or you are not. I belong to the first category. For me part of living on a Rock is embracing the style/ways and quirkiness of that Rock. Having moved to a new Rock a year...
