I am retiring at the end of this year 2026. So next year I would like to explore different parts of the world. Teaching Health to 7th graders is my current role but previously I was a co-teacher (supporting Sped Students) for Enlgish Language Arts and Social Studies here on Maui, Hawaii. I’ve been with the Department of Education since 2009 and it provided me time to travel now and then with my family, especially during the summer and winter breaks. You will note that in one of my pictures, my son Logan and wife Mimi are with me. This photo was taken in Firenze during the summer of 2026. We did this particularly trip because my niece (my wife’s sister’s daughter) from Japan was one of the top violinists and was invited by Italy to perform in Venice. Of course, we had to go and support her. Though I must admit I didn’t anticipate gaining so much weight…about 3 kilos. Hey, if you belly aching with laughter, I get it, but for a skinny guy like myself this is a lot of weight. lol. Other than that, I enjoy doing yoga, some kettle bells and walking around the neighborhood. I can cook simple things but nothing too fancy. Perhaps, I should take a class or two or do a whole a bunch of couchsurfing. Perhaps, I’ll get the groceries, I’ll assist you in cooking, and we’ll hopefully eat something good or great together. Of course, I’ll wash the dishes. I do enjoy socializing but I admit sometimes my social battery doesn’t last too long… it really depends, and I like slow easy going mornings unless there is some mission that day, being active in the morning, an afternoon nap or afternoon coffee or matcha, and a relaxing bath or shower in the evening.

I’m a seasoned traveler and spent the past 2.5 years living and working on Maui as a tour guide. I love meeting new people, exploring new places, and getting to experience a city like a local rather than just passing through. Outside of work, I’m usually hiking, traveling, hitting the gym, checking out new spots, or going out and meeting people. I’m easygoing, social, respectful, and always down for a good adventure. I also enjoy helping out wherever I can and getting to know the people I’m staying with.

CURRENT MISSION Happy Happy, Joy Joy! ABOUT ME I'm a fun lovin', guitar strummin', happy faced, straight laced, backward bendin', garden tendin',........I think thats enough of that.I'm 45 years old, live on Maui where I own and operate a tree trimming business, hike in the forest, climb rocks, and spend many waking hours playing guitar, singing, and generally obsessing over music. I think life is just a ride, and we are all creating our own experience (either consciously or unconsciously) which is why I do my best to remain optimistic and calm and talk about my hopes and dreams over worries and fears. If you host me, you can expect good conversation, music, good organic food, quiet in the night and early morning, and lots of laughter (unless you don't like to laugh in which case we are not a match). PHILOSOPHY We are here to enjoy life! The more we do things we love, the greater gift we give to our community and the world. Life is just a ride, so it's best not to stress. Everyone is essentially good, but sometimes we get clouded by negative thoughts and emotions that we learn from our families, friends, and the media, so its important to surround ourselves with people and situations that make us feel hopeful, inspired, creative, loving, and joyful!

Lost my job in Hawaii

Aloha Kalino here My current mission: Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one. Moreover, Im hooked on surfing , hiking and anything around nature. I love meeting with people from around the world, hearing about their unique journey, making new friends, living with new experiences and sharing our perspective of life. Mostly, I like hugs over handshakes! To my fellow travelers hosting is uncertain But if the time is right, I provide a safe and relaxing environment as well as some guidance and tips during your stay in Maui. The exchange is simply a happy smile and the hopes that Maui left you something special to carry you on the next journey. But If you like to participate in the tradition that is to treat me for a coffee and croissant ; ,that would touch my heart haha Travelers !! Let’s keep the culture of couch surfing. While I love to meet and help everyone , it’s important that I also have to take care of my personal life. I tend to receive 12 plus request a week and it gets hard to get back to everyone. So please Don’t take it personal if I don’t respond. Moreover, I truly appreciate those that write thoughtful message of who they are. Mahalo

Aloha! My name is Pierce, I am 25 years old. I've lived in Maui, Hawaii for 3 years, but have been traveling all of 2026 in Asia and Europe. I love the outdoors, food, and animals. I leave places cleaner than I found them, I am kind and respectful to everyone, and I am independent. I hope to find people who are helpful and welcoming :) you can message me on my instagram too @pierce.brodsky

Hi everyone... I’m a simple, positive, open minded, and easy going person who loves to laugh and enjoy life. My daughter lives with me part time so I’m VERY picky about my guests. We have hosted A LOT of travelers and have connected with some really amazing people. My daughter Lily has been inspired to travel the world as a result of hosting so many international travelers. Clear communication is really important to me, so if you have questions about me or my home…Please ask! I look forward to sharing this amazing island with you.... ~Aloha ~😎🌴☀️🐋🌈🐢🐚
