CURRENT MISSION

To follow my bliss!

ABOUT ME

I like to share the "Aloha spirit" where ever I go. To me that means: being friendly and welcoming, offering help and assistance to others in need, without expecting anything in return, and treating people with respect, like we all should be treated.

I also love to learn about other cultures as much as I can. I find it fascinating to find out more about the people that make up the world we live in. Different points of view are a good thing. It helps to broaden our understanding!

Since traveling is one of my greatest passions, my bucket list of places to visit and things to do, keeps growing, especially as I meet more and more amazing couch surfers from around the globe!

PHILOSOPHY

My motto is "Follow your bliss!". Life is short, so every moment should count. Live your life by always following what makes you happy. Whether it be in your professional life, relationships, or personal life, always strive to attain bliss!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It was always my dream to celebrate the millennium twice. For New Year's Eve 1999, I flew from NY to Auckland, NZ, celebrated New Year's eve there, than got on a plane early on the morning of January 1st, 2000 with my best friends. Our plane made a pit stop in Fiji, then continued on to Hawaii, landing on Dec. 31st, 1999. I was able to celebrate New Year's eve again, with friends and family in Hawaii. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity...an amazing adventure!!
