About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel, to meet new people, to learn, and to share.

ABOUT ME

Aloha mai, e komo mai (Hawaiian for Hello and Welcome).
Hawai'i is a laid back place. The people here are friendly and walk to a slow pace. The islands have some of the most picturesque sights in the world from the mountains to the ocean, or the volcano or waterfalls, there is something to be seen here.

I'm originally from Makaha, the west side of O'ahu, but I live in Honolulu now. Being part Hawaiian and raised here, I have a great deal of knowledge about these islands, both culturally and geographically speaking. I can help you find some nice beaches, affordable restaurants to eat at, and point you to the best shopping places too.
About me:
- My boyfriend and one room mate share the 3 bedroom home and there's a futon couch in the living room where you can sleep on. I have lots of pillows and blankets.
-I love to cook good food (share recipes?) and eat, well, I just love food period.
-I like going to the beach on the week ends.
- I really, really enjoy hiking!!!
-I work out 3/4 times a week at 24 hour fitness to keep in shape (they sell guest passes if you're interested)
-I dance hula for 8 years now in a traditional Hawaiian hula school.

PHILOSOPHY

"Kokua mai; Kokua aku" - Translation = help is reciprocal (when you give help, you'll receive help when you need it.
- A Hawaiian Proverb

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing Stonehenge in England. The Fairy Glens in Edinburgh. The buddhist temples in Bangkok, Thailand. Angkor Wat in Cambodia. Florence, Italy and seeing the original David by Michelangelo. Ascending to the top of Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawai'i (the tallest mountain on earth if you measure from the base of the ocean to the summit!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy people who are genuinely interested in learning the indigenous/native things about the places they visit. At the same time, I feel these types of people have lots of knowledge and experiences to share. Especially those who've traveled lots.
