I grew up in Ukraine and came to America 19 years ago with 2 children. I spent some time in Hawaii several years ago and absolutely fell in love with the island. Now that my children are grown, I want to take some time for self-discovery and travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking for a way to make connections with more people in the area I'll be staying. Also, Hawaii is an expensive place to find accommodation so I would like to make it easier for my pocketbook.

Interests

I love to spend time outdoors. Whether it's hiking, camping, or walking down the beach, anytime spent in nature is time well spent. I like to experience delicious and healthy culinary creations. I cook well and have been known to make some very good homemade feasts. I also practice yoga, reiki, and meditation.
