CURRENT MISSION

To be happy and never make assumptions.

ABOUT ME

I'm a freelance graphic designer and part-time beekeeper for an apiary in Hawaii. I love music and art and spending time with friends and many other things there's not enough space in this box to put them all. I'm a very laid back person and very straight forward.

PHILOSOPHY

Simplify.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I just joined this website, but I've used similar style websites for a few years. I love being a host b/c when you have a visitor, you look at your own city from the perspective of a traveler. I love this because it reminds you how great your home town is. I've stayed with wonderful hosts in France, Utah, Hawaii, Netherlands and D.C. All were memorable experiences.

Interests

I love making mosaics from found objects, painting, spending time with friends, and going to music shows or playing music. I play the violin, mandolin and ukulele. Things that grab my attention are those that make me look at something in a different way.
