I grew up in Hawaii on the island of Oahu and have since then lived in western Pennsylvania near Pittsburg while attending college as well as Colorado Springs for work. Last year I checked off a big bucket list item and did some trekking in Nepal for a while and traveled around South-East Asia. Being a part of the Couchsurfing community has been one of my greatest joys of traveling! The people that I have met here have given me so much more than a place to stay and been so much more than a guest in my house.
