I'm tikipapa.

I am a dreamer.

I have lived in Minnesota all my life with brief stints of escape via jobs and a family trip. I hate the cold.

I read to feed my dreams mostly about others living my dream. Jimmy Buffet has been an inspiration to me. He never gives up. The series of books "Key West" gave me a good look at life in Key West. A couple that left Scotland for a vacation and got sent to Key West and never left. Very cool.

The "Trawler Trash" series is very cool, lots of drama, love adventure, and a look at living aboard a boat.

The Tiki Culture is a passion of mine. I have decorated in early modern tiki . . . my term.

Love listening to radio A1A with Lyle Wilson who DJ's from his tiki backyard in the "tropics of Indiana" as he calls it. His backyard is so very very cool.

The "Mango Bob" series was cool too and fed my idea of buying a class C motor home and heading South. That is a fun read.

I love hearing from others about their beach/tropics lifestyle.
