About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Life is too short to sweat the small stuff.

ABOUT ME

I am a single mother of two boys, ages 17 and 20. I love meeting people and am helpful and friendly. Love to travel to experience other cultures and taking in the sceneries and architectures of the places I visit and into wining and dining.

PHILOSOPHY

Make this world a better place, be helpful and sincere. Appreciate and be contented with what one has. Be respectful of others and their culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Read about CS a few years ago while travelling in Zhuhai, China. Had been thinking of joining and finally did it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have not host anyone from CS yet. During the past six years I have been providing homestay for students studying English in Honolulu. Students came from Japan, France, Germany, Taiwan, Switzerland, China, and Malaysia. I love meeting these students and enjoyed helping to make their visit a memorable one.
