Love my Family ❤ And, I have a BIG FAMILY near and far---that's for sure.

Born and raised in Hawaii. Grateful for my Island Upbringing which was centered around family and faith. Of course, the ocean and aina (land) were my stomping grounds. Come from a long line of farmers and fishermen...just don't ask me to climb a coconut tree or go catch some fish 😉 But, I can husk a coconut and clean a fish with ease.

Of course living in Hawaii, I enjoy being outdoors: beach, festivals, hiking, BBQ, camping...But I also value being lazy and bored too. Most of the time I just go-with-the-flow and try not to take things too seriously. And, just enjoy the moment...🤙🤙🤙

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Honestly...?! A great friend of mine told me he "couchsurfed" while traveling. What was that?! First time ever hearing of such a ridiculous and ingenious concept. It resonated deep within me, but I wasn't ready for a new adventure in my life.
Growing up, our family lived Aloha.... We hosted many travelers from around the world: Japan, Korea, Portugal, Mexico, Argentina, USA, Germany, New Zealand, Samoa, Philippines and so on. Loved them all and they became family --- 'Ohana.
I hope someday soon to host travelers and share our aloha like before. Currently, due to certain family obligations, I'm unable to do so. But, I'm willing to be a friend to my fellow sojourners. Wishing you the best on your path of life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Loving and having a Family ❤

Teach, Learn, Share

‘A‘ohe pau ka ‘ike i ka hālau ho‘okahi.
All knowledge is not learned in just one school.
[One can learn from many sources.] Let's Teach, Learn, and Share together.
I'm not afraid to work and learn. I enjoy cultural exchanges especially through cooking and eating...

What I Can Share with Hosts

RESPECT and GRATITUDE ❤ I'd be willing to work and serve where necessary. I've managed to care for my family and home, so there's nothing too big or small I couldn't do: Cooking, cleaning, DIY projects...whatever is wholesome and good.
