ABOUT ME

I love to travel and find that independent travel is liberating and a great way to meet new and interesting people. I was born and raised in Hawaii, but am enjoying gaining a more varied and international perspective while living abroad. I live simply and love complexly. We must make the most of what we have, Love one another and share whenever we can.

PHILOSOPHY

live life to the fullest, never hesitate, love to the max. flowers, waves, guitar riffs, smiles, water, birds, laughter, sunshine, mud, and love. We are one family!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

trying my best. Meeting with CSers in places I've lived and traveled, hosting, and being hosted by amazing CS brothers and sisters from around the world. We also host WWOOFers which is beautiful because people can generally stay for a longer period and we can work together with earth and sweat. I love to cook and bake and usually am excited to make delicious food for my hosts and guests.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted surfers from Austria, Poland, Bulgaria, Canada, Germany, France, Ireland and California. I have hosted in my homes in Zambia, Hawaii, and the Netherlands and have enjoyed surfing couches in Italy, Colombia, Zambia, the US, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Peru. Seems like people who are willing to open up their homes already have open hearts so let's learn something from each other over some coffee/wine!

Interests

We are well integrated into our community here in Zambia and I am happy to facilitate cultural exchange. Our proficiency in the local language and our connection to our community here will likely offer you an experience which is authentic, beautiful, and full of love.
