About Me

CURRENTLY traveling in Mexico until the end of July.

I teach 5 and 6 year olds in Hawaii. I like to travel and experience new things on my breaks from work. The ocean is my passion...swim, surf, scuba, snorkel and more. However, I enjoy being on land as well, like hiking and camping. Good conversation, new cultures, and FOOD are some of the things I like most about travel.

Estoy aprendiendo a hablar español. Google me ayudó un poco. Por favor corrígeme si estoy equivocado.

Enseño niños que tienen cinco y seis años en Hawaii. Me gusta viajar y tratar cosas nuevas. Me encanto el océano... me gusta nadar, navegar, bucear, y más. Sin embargo, me gusta hacer senderismo y ir de camping. Mis cosas favoritas sobre viajando están hablando con amigos, aprendiendo sobre culturas nuevas, y COMIDA.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My favorite part of travel is meeting new people and hearing their stories or perspectives. I think couchsurfing is one of the best ways to do this.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love the atmosphere when there's live music. Books are my escape. Have you read "Beneath a Scarlet Sky"?! It's a historical-ficiton, page-turner! I also loved "What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding." It's a hilarious travel memoir filled with inspiration and life advice.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I accidentally swam with a mama humpback whale and her baby... but I don't have pictures to prove it.

Accidentalmente, yo nadé con una mamá ballena y su bebé, pero no tengo fotos :(

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook! I can teach you how to swim! I can teach you how to play a few chords on the guitar... is that helpful??

I'm really interested in becoming better in my Spanish.

Puedo enseñarte como cocinar. Puedo enseñarte como nadar.

I make the BEST chocolate chip cookies, but I can also make you Hawaiian sweet potato haupia(coconut) pie.
