Holly's Interests
General
Reading good writing, writing something good for reading, putting together photos with words to tell a tale of adventure to inspire others to explore the world, skateboarding, hiking barefoot and appreciating the feel of the ground under my toes, pulling into closeout tubes over sand and letting out a yelp of excitement before getting pounded but laughing underwater, cooking, gardening, appreciating a fine belgian ale, stepping off an airplane into the humidity of a foreign place, chasing new experiences...

I don't have a television. Well, i have the box but not hte service. I've spent so long without having it myself that whenever i'm around it I find myself being really sucked in. I can't just ignore it and carry on whatever coversation is going on. It's very distracting. When watching now, I just trip out on what's on there and how people react to it.
Books
Tom Robbins, Kerouac, Vonnegut, Palahuniuk, Ken Kesey, Aldous Huxley, and anything that gives more insight into the human condition.
Heroes
Greg Browning. Scott Daley. Legendary surf historian Sam George for his infectious good vibes and endless energy. No one is perfect, but a lot of people have qualities I admire and try to emulate.
About me: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did... Explore. Dream. Discover."

hey holly, just wanted to let you know i haven't forgotten about that wipe-out clip... our editor got half of all our tapes logged and captured, but we had some issues w/ our deck so we're on ice until saturday. we'll get you that clip hopefully by sunday. =)
We've been reading through your blogspot and it's just great... some awesome insight for people considering Nica. We will be interested to see what you guys end-up doing for a house there. We have done several designs in the past for sites in Panama but are now looking at maybe using bamboo for at least some elements. Nice Guadua bamboo is available in Nica, and it's VERY cheap.
Anyway, keep up your blog so we can learn from you guys. ;)
I was eating at Islands tonight and might've seen your latest Nicaragua trip. I think I saw Sam George and Joe Curren? If my knee heels up I'm down there in September. Maybe you have a map of the spots to go?
