About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy what I have and where I go.

ABOUT ME
My house is 15 minutes from the airport in Wailuku up the hill a little bit. The views are amazing. As much as I would like to be able to pick everybody up from the airport, I have a job and responsibilities that don't allow me to do this. A rental car is a must. Thank you for reading this and understanding. :)
I've been on Maui since 2002. Before that I was living in the Dominican Republic prior to the Bay Area of Northern California. I lived in Florida before that in the Tampa, Gainesville and South Florida areas.
I've made a home out here in the islands. I can't say which one yet. I like them all. I spent a winter on the North Shore of Oahu and can't wait to do that again. Kauai is also one of my favorites. The Big Island is also great. I can't decide.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted a wide variety of people.

Interests

I try to keep busy mostly mountain biking wing surfing and foil surfing. Hiking is hard to beat here.

Music, Movies, and Books

Yes please.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ha, too many to list. I might just be too easy to impress.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have taught windsurfing, kiting and surfing in the past to make a living. Glad that I don't have to anymore. It's hard to teach what you love for money. It's better to teach your friends for free. I am also learning and teaching people to wing surf with a foil. So that is super fun and super frustrating :)

Countries I’ve Visited

Bahamas, Canada, Cayman Islands, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

Canada, Dominican Republic, United States
