I´m a 23 year old from the US, currently traveling through South America. I was born and raised on Maui in Hawaii. I went to university on the mainland in Indiana and studied in environmental engineering. I decided that I wanted to take a gap year before getting a full-time job in the states, and decided to come to South America. It has been an amazing trip for me so far.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Many of my favorite moments traveling have been interactions with locals. I have heard really great things about couchsurfing and it would be great to meet more locals through this platform.

Teach, Learn, Share

Since I am from the US, I would be happy to help anyone interested in working on their English. Also, I find that people are often really curious about what it´s like to live in Hawaii. I was born there and love sharing things about my home state.
