Aloha, I'm Jess! California native through and through, currently living in Lahaina, Maui for the moment (and loving every second of island life). I grew up under the California sun and still carry that West Coast energy with me — easygoing, outdoor-obsessed, and always down for good conversation over coffee, tacos, or a sunset. Moving to Maui has been an adventure: mornings with the ocean, afternoons exploring, and nights under those ridiculous Hawaiian stars. Lahaina has a special place in my heart, and I’m happy to share local tips, favorite spots, or just good company while you’re here. I’m the kind of host who believes the best travel moments come from real connections. Whether you want recommendations for the best poke, a quiet beach, or just someone to swap stories with after a long day of exploring, I’ve got you. I’m respectful of space and privacy, tidy, and genuinely enjoy meeting people from all over. Looking forward to sharing a bit of Maui (and maybe a little California spirit) with you. Safe travels, and hope to host you soon!
Love to travel and meet new people!
Lost my job in Hawaii
I used to harvest coconuts and trim. Decorative flower and fruit trees, as well as ornamental gonna be trees, etc. . also I have extensive in-depth. Experience of free diving and spearfishing and surfing on West Maui. Aloha! I lived on Maui for 15 yrs before becoming blind. My focus has shifted from surfing and adventuring to cooking and songwriting.
