About Me

CURRENT MISSION

*Mission* sounds so mysterious. My wife and I are university students and love... love traveling. Like everyone else on here, we are cheap and want to meet people and save money

ABOUT ME

My wife and I adore each other and love having a good time. Who doesn't? We are both in grad-school and then it is off to PhD land... which is a land far, far away. My wife and I try to backpack a certain part of the planet at least once a year. We are good and quiet guests. We love couch surfing because of the incredible people we meet. We have met many good friends here that we stay in contact with to this day. Of course it is nice to save money as well, but we've found the places we've loved the most were those places where we met kind people along the way. We cannot wait to meet you to learn about your culture, city, and travels!

PHILOSOPHY

Traveling is fatal to bigotry, prejudice, and narrowmindedness.

Another philosphy: stealing quotes from Mark Twain to make myself appear smarter than I actually am.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We have been loving hosting here in Honolulu and showing people around. It is really great to give back to all those people who have been so kind to us around the world. We usually do a tour of the island, take the guests to see the turtles on the North Shore, and share in the incredible local food. We travel quite a bit, so we are not around all the time, but when we are in Honolulu, we'd love to share what we have.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have had the greatest surfing and meeting the friendliest people in the world! What a great way to meet wonderfully kind travelers.
