MY HOME IS CURRENTLY IN HAWAII NOT SEATTLE- I don't know why it is showing up otherwise, please keep requests to staying in Pahoa,HI.

I currently live on the big island of Hawaii and spend my time in the ocean, exploring the jungle, and finding new fruits. Originally from the suburbs of Portland,OR and recently graduated from university in Seattle,WA with a BS in Pyshcology. I got into couchsurfing through my travels in Europe- it ended up being the best part of the trip! I am a lover of travel and new friends and stories and experiences. Always up for adventure, trying new things, and enjoying community and conversation. I strive to be an open-minded adventure driven person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Had a few people on couchsurfing stay with me while I lived in Seattle,WA along with many friends of friends crashing with me- I always love having people if in around. I currently host at my home in Pahoa, HI.

I got into couchsurfing while traveling Europe and it was the most magical experience.- humans are awesome!

Interests

Experiencing and learning new things. I Love being outdoors and hiking, backpacking, skiing, swimming, as well as good conversations over food and drink. I love exploring new places and areas, dancing, taking walks, food, sugary things. I'm really interested in human growth and development-especially in the 12-25 age range. I love a good story, a good glass of wine, and a good song to dance to.
