We are a Venice, Ca couple in our early thirties both originally from the east coast. Ryan moved west to get into the surfing industry. I did my last year of college in la and never left. The weather was too nice and I have a thing for palm trees. We met almost three years ago and have many of the same goals and dreams. We have always said we did not want to spend our lives working a dead end job missing out on all life has to offer just to get a paycheck. We want to be fulfilled, doing what we love and exposing other people to that happiness. We want to take what we love and make it our job. Ryan loves to surf, snorkel, be in the water...I love cooking for people and giving them a great experience. We were lucky to visit Panama recently and realized it was a special place. We bought a small house we call "the treehouse" as its set up a hill surrounded by jungle. Our plan is to share this with people by building three jungle casitas and a restaurant/bar. We are both super excited to embark on this new path and can't wait to share it with our family and friends!
