If you are traveling to my island, I am happy to show you where the dancing is!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hit a target with a recurve bow and arrow from a moving horse

Teach, Learn, Share

As a guest, I know you are probably in the midst of your life and work, so likely not able to entertain me... and as much as I enjoy including guests in the things I have going on when I host, respectfully, I am not usually on vacation when I'm hosting, so I understand having limited availability for guests.

That being said, I am happy to engage when circumstances permit and also perfectly content to not be in your way . I try to leave your space as clean, tidy, and undisturbed as possible.

Sharing a meal, playing a board game, taking a walk would be wonderful but in no way expected or required.

Of course, if there something I can do for you, I would prefer to kindly compensate a host if within my means.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can create artwork for you - I specialize in portraits and custom original paintings, studied in Italy, have my BA in Fine Art, have won awards and been published.

If you are an artist or photographer, I'm happy to collaborate or pose for reference work.

I can share dance or yoga classes if you'd like to learn or practice (certifed in Vinyasa Yoga, Brazilian Zouk, ATS, ITS, A2Z Belly Dance).
If you would just like a social dance partner to dance with, more than happy to oblige.

I hestiate to mention but can offer therapeutic massage (as long as it clearly understood that this is not being kinky- I actually went to massage school and worked at a fitness gym).

I am happy to cook for you or help with cleaning.

I am also capable of returning the favor of offering lodging, if you visit my island (Hawaii).
