About this listen

Have you ever wanted to drop everything and move to California?

Julie had been teaching German in Indiana for 12 years, and longed for a new, wet adventure. One day, inspiration struck, and she decided to move to San Diego, wear Hawaiian shirts, and surf before work.

Come along on a journey west, to sunny, sandy, San Diego, as Julie leaves the comforts of her Indiana homestead for America’s Finest City. She trades a yard for the beach, friends for surfboards, and her huge, comfy classroom for a shared, hectic space.

It’s a beautiful place, but not always kind. From teaching to surfing, in museums, the forest, and the desert, through love and heartache, from Nazaré to Waikiki, Lessons from The Ocean will inspire, entertain, and resonate with anyone who loves the water, has ever started over, or fosters the aloha spirit.
