CURRENT MISSION

Explore and learn

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Hawaii, currently living in NYC. I love the outdoors, exploring new places, meeting new people, and making friends everywhere I go. I love to eat and I consider myself really adventurous. I'll do/eat anything at least once. I'm laid back, open-minded, easy-going, down-to-earth, and very respectful and clean. I can easily entertain myself. I'm very low-maintenance.

PHILOSOPHY

you usually end up regretting the things you didn't do as oppose to the things you did do
sooo ... why not?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Someone suggested it to me as a great way to meet locals in the countries I will be traveling and to meet people from other parts of the world visiting NYC.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted numerous people in NYC and I've been guests to amazingly generous people. I always bring little gifts from home for my hosts :)

Interests

I love soccer! I played my whole life and for my university.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Oohhh I can only name one thing? :o(

My friends and I did a 3 day, 3 night scuba diving live aboard in the Great Barrier reef in Australia. Best experience of my life and I would totally do it again!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm from Hawaii and I've lived in NYC for the past 13 yrs, so I can tell you what those places are like. Ask me anything, I'm an open book.

I can teach you about Hawaiian foods.

I like to learn about the culture, food, people, and history of the places I visit. I also like to hear people's stories and adventures.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook food from Hawaii and the US. I usually bring goodies from Hawaii, if I pack correctly :)
