Hello there, my name is Kaya.

I grew up on the Big Island of Hawai'i, and have since lived, studied and/or worked in Southern and Northern California, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, & Bogotá and Urabá, Colombia. I have a love for travel, experiencing and learning about new places, cultures, foods, religions. I'm about to return to the Bay Area after a few years away and will be working at an environmental health nonprofit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Reciprocity, love for travel and meeting new people
