Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mar 2021 update
I have a tiny one bedroom place with my wife in the city of Honolulu. We are about a 1.5 miles from Whole Foods and 2 miles from the ocean. With current events, not hosting at the moment. But can answer some questions about the islands.

Jan 2023 update
We live in a house in the city of Honolulu, neighborhood called Maikiki. We have extra room on the main level and separate entrance room downstairs with bathroom and shower.

Before you ask for a couch, know that:
I live in a highly desirable part of Kauai and maybe even the whole state. i'm not a youth hostel, a cheap hotel, not a bed and breakfast. So please tell me something about yourself that you think I might find interesting and makes you unique (since you did read my profile, right? and I left plenty of clues) and includes these three words in your request, mango fish tacos, so I know you really read my profile.

Update 2023: I'm in Honolulu, Oahu now. But still have connections with Big Island and Kauai.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted while I lived on Big Island and here on Kauai. While traveling in New Zealand, I met some fellow travelers via CS and couch surfed with a few. Met my wife on CS via the forum, she was looking for people to hike with.

Interests

green computers, blue water, red tomatoes, purple sweet potatoes, october sky, red moons

what really grabs my attention than any tangible thing are people's stories. i like to hear how people have achieved something they set their mind to despite some kinda obstacle or hardship. i like how ideas take off into something that works. its inspiring...

i like to see people have goals and work towards them. we all have a purpose on this earth. the Creator would be glad if we found Him and did what we're supposed to do

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

last crazy thing i did was let a hitchhiker borrow my car for the weekend as i drove myself to the airport.

i'm not that amazing. In 2012, a friend decided to bicycle across the US in 40 days and so I decided to drive across the country in 6 weeks. it was fun.

2023: last minute (3 days notice) sailing trip from Colombia to Key West, Florida on friends boat. Caught ahi tuna and I cooked up some seared ahi tacos. We hit up the islands of Providencia, San Andres, and Isla Mujeres (next to Cancun Mexico). Somehow I didn't get sick over the 10 days trip. Had to sail "dark" at night to avoid pirates.

Said I Do to the most amazing and my favoritest person in the world!
