You all know I love to surf. It's a great way to escape my thoughts, focus on the waves, and it's also a killer workout.

Here are my favorite places to surf in my home state of California:

• Malibu
• Oceanside, San Diego
• Sands Beach, Santa Barbara
• Steamers Lane, Santa Cruz
• Manhattan Beach
  

You need to check out these amazing beaches sometime.

I've been lucky enough to vacation in some of the most beautiful places in the world. When you're picking out a place to unwind and chill out, I hope this list comes in handy!

Here are my top five travel destinations:
 

• Hawaii
• Bora Bora
• Cabo
• St. Thomas
• London 

Notice a theme here? Yeah, I like tropical destinations... a lot!

I've been in Hawaii and will actually be flying back during the Oscar show on Sunday. This year seems pretty exciting -- a lot of good movies.

Best actress:
Angelina Jolie

Best supporting actor:
Heath Ledger

Best supporting actress:
Marisa Tomei
