I live in Hawaii on Maui. I wear a few different but interconnected hats for work. Carpentry, beekeeping and recreation therapy have weaved themselves together making me a self-employed happy man. I have traveled in many countries and met many wonderful people in my journeys. I trust in the goodness of life and in people, knowing that the energy I give to the world is what I receive. Aloha permeates all :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a wonderful way to meet amazing people and share in life's journey if only for a brief time. It't a great way to make friends and then hope to host those friends in return when they travel to Maui!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Beekeeping. The sensation and vibration of sharing space with millions of bees with minimal protection and minimal stings. Although being stung over time for a beekeeper is therapy.

What I Can Share with Hosts
