CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to contribute to the rural sprawl that is taking over our cities!

ABOUT ME

I live in a tiny cottage in rural Hawaii. I have land that I am planning to turn into a wonderful coffee farm and spiritual retreat center. I study permaculture and soil health is very important to me.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live with respect to the interconnectedness of all life and align myself with the greater good of the whole world. When that seems like too much I settle for staying in the present, being joyful and finding the best in people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to have local friends when I travel because I am very friendly and social.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am a newbie to Couch Surfing.

Interests

I like to talk about health, spirituality, cultures, coffee, farming, and all the interesting characters who live in my town. I sing and usually manage to accompany myself passably on the guitar. I enjoy being goofy! I also want to learn more about hiking, camping and other outdoorsy recreation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was on an America's cup yacht that I helped to sail in Auckland harbor.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've lived in the US, Spain, Singapore, and Switzerland. I dig indigenous cultures as my mom is from Indonesia and I spent lots of time in Malaysia as a kid. I have studied yoga philosophy and enjoy exploring different types of belief systems.
