Home is Hawaii but I have lived in Arizona for 7 years, Los Angeles for 2 years, and now in Medellin, Colombia for the past 2.5 years. I wanted to become a pilot straight out of high school and pursued an aviation degree, but somewhere along the way I realized I wanted something different in life. I drifted through life for a few years until I was blessed with the opportunity of starting a cannabis company with some partners. 2 years after starting the company, I took a trip to Colombia, unexpectedly met a girl (who would become my lifelong partner), and decided to move there and work remotely for my company and day-trade on the side. I’d like to think that my life has been quite interesting with many unexpected and adventurous changes in life, and I’d like to continue making it more interesting!

Growing up, I spent a lot of time in the ocean and mountains so I care deeply for the environment and the health and cleanliness of the outdoors. Hawaii and its history, people, and culture are very meaningful and important to me as well, and I want to contribute more to preserving those things that make Hawaii so special and sacred.

Travel has always been a part of my life; there’s nothing like meeting new people, making new friends, and sharing good experiences with others from around the world. Just doing my best to share and represent the aloha spirit!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To host and be hosted of course! But for me it’s really all about sharing memorable experiences and making lifelong friends from around the world.

兴趣

Spending quality time with good people, the outdoors, learning, self-growth.
I’ve always been intrigued by the power of the mind and all things related to it — psychology, neuroscience, etc.
I hope I can contribute to the advancement of these fields to help heal people and progress the understanding of the mind.
Coming from Hawaii, I also care deeply about the environment and keeping nature clean and pure. I really want to do as much as I can to help clean and maintain the planet so that we can all experience this world in its purest form.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

In the past I would have said something fun related to traveling, but now I’m seeking to do something more meaningful and service-related that I could say would be the most amazing thing I’ve done.

教，学，和分享

I can teach what I know and I'm always seeking to learn what I don't know; life is a constant learning experience!

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Hawaiian snacks/souvenirs, home-cooked meals, and good conversation.
I’ll always do my best to contribute my part and respect the host’s home/schedule.
