I am a storyteller through every inch of my being on stages, film and TV mainly through acting and dance with an extensive study and specialty in Polynesian and Siva Afi Fire Knife Dancing & Maori Fire Poi Dancing. Since I moved to LA three years ago, I am finally making my return to my home and reconnecting to my roots as a Chamoru, Pinoy from the island of Saipan through Chamoru Dance. I have also began creating my own Docuseries called Home Is Where Our Canoe Is welcoming my Pacifica community to join me along this journey back home despite distances from our own homes. Most of my travels are dedicated to my career, culture, and the arts as this lifestyle I signed up for came with a lifelong mission. It never ends and I enjoy it! I love meeting people and learning other ways of life. I am always interested in rediscovering new things, lessons, trades, and places and finding myself in crazy adventures. I am an avid podcast listener and would be happy to recommend you a whole variety to tune in to! Also very eager to know what podcasts you listen to if you do. I believe that there's much power in my craft and am always looking for ways to grow and develop so that I may create much noise, movement, and inspiration in people. Always eager to create something together may it be as simple as food! I strive to create work that moves hearts and souls on stages and on films but most importantly, in the life, soul and the heart of my community. I am honored and humbled to be in the middle of many different projects that helps me to do just that even as a Promoter for high end luxury brands at the LAX International Airport's DFS!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

To meet new people, cultural exchange, and to explor each other's worlds.

Intereses

I am always up for an adventure! I love making new discoveries. More opportunities to learn about myself, the better. Anything that gets my heart bouncing or lifts me off my feet, you know I'll be there. Also.... wherever I can find love in all forms.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I took a cross country trip from Cleveland to Los Angeles where I spent a good week and a half exploring the different states and its many landmarks while also reuniting with my friends along my route, staying at their places and catching up with them. Along this trip, I taught Acting remotely on the campus of the University of Iowa, explored the Soy Bean factories of America in Decatur, Illinois, stayed in the historical hotel, The Brown Palace Hotel, where I got to see where both the Beatles and the first President of the People's Republic of China had stayed/ lived, enjoyed my first natural hot spring and Native American food in Denver with friends, spent the night in a private Airbnb red cabin in the middle of nowhere and tumble weeds of Nebraska, explored Zion National Park, and enjoyed a morning in Vegas on a boat in the Venetian Hotel. I really took advantage of this trip.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I would love to cook you up some of my favorite island foods that I grew up with including Chamoru & Filipino food. I enjoy cooking for others more than I enjoy cooking for myself mostly because it gives me more of the purpose to cook. I enjoy storytelling and would be happy to share stories of my life, my adventures and even the legends of the islands I grew up in.
