CURRENT

Aloha Folks!!
My name is Davin. I am originally from central Illinois and had been living in LA for the past 9 years working in Asset/Property management. A recent sabbatical brought me too Hawaii via a friend I meet while studying yoga in India. I have been overseeing his home for the pasts three months and I am looking for a change of pace. It's an 18 acre property and I landscape it while managing the electrical and plumbing duties of an off-the-grid home at 1500 feet...I get to drive a big tractor too:) I have been working for a extremely large lychee farmer, an on-site Health Retreat Physician-a yoga student of mine who has entrusted me with assisting in building several structures and landscaping duties and general duties of the retreat since I arrived in February. I am prior Army Finance for 8 years. College Graduate. 39 years old.

I was teaching donation based yoga (certified instructor) twice a week on the Hilo side of the island. Now I only have until July 13th before i return to the mainland. The classes were a true communal experience, in which people not only practice "exercises," but enjoy a deeper level and understanding of Yoga and self. I really enjoy to help others as see the karma in life is returned two fold. 
I'd be very happy to practice/teach yoga with my host!!

We would like to continue to explore Hawaii (the area you live is the one area we have yet to explore) and your profile seemed to strike a chord.

Your place seems like the perfect place to share an experience with others and say good-bye to this amazing Island. Thank you for time and your thoughts.
