So many of my friends did couch-surfing back in the day when I was a budget backpacker at their start in the early 2000s, and I was always interested yet never had a home to host. I decided to join this year to see if my partner and I can meet some great people on our trip to French Polynesia in May 2019 and hopefully return the favor one day when they come to Hawaii!!

Our house has a small garden with fresh herbs for cooking, and we have plenty of beach equipment to share: chairs, snorkels, masks, fins, bocce ball, frisbees, surfboards, O'ahu guidebooks...
