About Me

I'm addicted to travel, food, and islands. I grew up on a tiny island in the middle of the Pacific, called Saipan. I was born in the sun and it's what makes me happy. I'm lucky enough to be a flight attendant--it's the best job in the world! I never feel like I'm working. I'm a curious explorer of different foods, people, and cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I take at least one vacation a month, and on a junior flight attendant's salary, I can't afford to stay in luxurious resorts or hotels. Besides, what's the fun in that? I love meeting new people and sharing a little bit of my culture with others!

Interests

I always appreciate a good book that evokes a range of emotions. I'm constantly in search of "must eat" items in the various places I travel to. I also love scuba diving--there's something so beautiful and peaceful about being completely submerged and exploring a completely different world. I love to parasail, snorkel, ATV--anything that is active!
