To be able to still climb trees and hike high mountains at my age (75 - in 2011). To leave as many invisible footsteps on, around and over my island - Hawai'i - as possible is one of my greatest goals.

Anyone who can meet me half-way - the more diversified a topic, the better - from self-sufficiency, adventure of all sorts, to history, culture, travel, politics, sex. The Hawaiian sacred mountain of Mauna Kea is a great place to visit, to take guests to and on which to talk about the mysteries of life, love, living and being - except that I no longer have a 4-wheel drive. I live "off the grid" - and so I don't have the facilities that are normal for normal travelers. However, in recent years, the few guests I've hosted have been very independent types - who have camped for short periods of time. On the other hand - I have been "out of town" quite frequently - and have not been present to adequately host. So, at the least, my situation is "iffy!" Sorry.

I am typically very interested in the history of places and in the culture(s) of my hosts. And I have had some of the greatest hosts that I could have possibly met up with. Thank you all?!

Multi-interests. Am an activist for the environment, Hawaiian culture and Hawaiian independence. Love music, art, travel, and lots more. Also farm, garden, sheep, fruits, etc. Love people. Hiking the high mountains.
