CURRENT MISSION

Love every bit of the journey!

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in beautiful Hawaii, I think I live off of sunshine and the ocean. Add to that, some good conversation and a healthy dose of political discussion. I like to think I'm a pretty friendly person, and I really value an open mind and a sense of adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

Live simply, tread lightly, seek adventure.

Travel philosophy: "There are no foreign lands, it is only the traveler who is foreign"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couchsurfed quite a bit over the course of my 14-months of travel this past year. I'm excited to return the favor and host people here in Hawaii.

Interests

Hiking, surfing, diving, people watching, politics. I like meeting new people and having good conversations, but I'm equally (sometimes even more) content, to wander around on my own.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My least favorite CS question! How can anyone narrow this down to one thing. I met a guy once who said "I don't travel places, I travel people." And I think that pretty much sums it up.

Teach, Learn, Share

Sorry CS'ers, I can't fire dance or juggle... but I do study Indigenous Politics so I can share a lot about Native Hawaiian culture and their political struggle. I can also teach you to surf! Though you'll probably be better than me from the start.
