I grew up in Hawaii and consider myself lucky to know such a beautiful place. I find travel experiences are the best life schooling for broadening my perspective and gaining a greater understanding of the world. I tend to be on the quieter side, introverted, but enjoy good conversation and meeting interesting people. If you're coming to the Big Island and want to meet up for an outdoor adventure, let me know.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I love to meet open-minded, adventurous people. Also, I want to travel vicariously when island fever strikes and my responsibilities keep me from hopping on a plane.
