About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life, and roam the oceans.

ABOUT ME

I LOVE the ocean. Grew up in Hawaii and then travelled as much as possible...not as much as I should. I will soon be living in Tokyo and am excited to be back in Asia again. (I used to live in Osaka as an English teacher) My dream is to one day sail around the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life, we're all dying.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't had ANY couchsurfing experience, just wandered the world and like people from all walks of life.

Interests

I love to kitesurf/surf, and sail, I snowboard in winter, but am just getting started as I've never really lived anywhere cold until now. :(

  • sailing
  • snowboarding
  • teaching

Music, Movies, and Books

Message in a bottle for some reason gets me teared up...not sure why.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every sunrise and sunset I see amazes me.

Teach, Learn, Share

Would love to learn how to ride the darn trains in Japan...I always get lost and end up taking a taxi.

I'd love to teach people to kitesurf or sail while I'm here in Japan.
