About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To capture the world one yummy bite at a time...

ABOUT ME

A hawaii guy who studied college and grad school in seattle. Life as an accountant wasn't that appealing and felt I needed to experience life. So I dropped my job, used all my savings, and lived off of my northface backpack. I want to eat yummy food, dance on tables, run around awesome architecture, sleep under the stars, and most of all - look the world through the eyes of others.
I am currently back chilling in Seattle working with a running company as well as a philanthropy while traveling whenever I can get the chance to!

Need someone to show you around Seattle and grab a drink or whiskey or some awesome food, I am your man!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I do marathons and half marathons every year and on my travels so far, I did the Athens Classic Marathon with no training.

Another cool experience I did thanks to couchsurfing was teach at a school for a day and taught 5th graders in Italy about Hawaii and how to speak some Hawaiian!

Also seen the Northern Lights in Iceland

Hiked train tracks to see Machu Picchu

Bungy Jump of Nevis in New Zealand

Teach, Learn, Share

I can always teach english as well as the wonderful lingo of the hawaiian island also known as pidgin "ho cuz, we go da kine for some one kine grinds" Once you learn this, you can understand locals in Hawaii \m/

I can offer host my travel experiences around the world as well as a look into Hawaii from a local perspective and not just what you see on TV and Movies.
