CURRENT MISSION

Don't look back and wonder why, look forward and wonder WHY NOT?

ABOUT ME

Just a simple guy striving to experience all I can, I work hard for a while until I have enough money to explore the world for a couple of months and take off wherever the wind takes me. When I run out of money I return to paradise in Maui, and start saving for the next adventure. So far so good, but lots more to see! I spend my free time in the ocean surfing, skimming, paddle boarding, kite boarding, just being in such beautiful surroundings all the time makes me a happy, chilled out, fun loving guy. I spent last fall and winter driving around the US with no plan, just stopping in Natl parks and camping out in the woods, it was so much fun!

PHILOSOPHY

Take time out of everyday to realize how amazing the world is. Smile, smile, smile :)
Treat others well and all will be well!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted quite a few travelers with whom I have shared many wonderful, funny, frightening but entirely inspirational travel stories. I am so happy to show people around the paradise in which I live and love. I enjoy showing people the many splendors that Maui beholds, and also showing them our unique island lifestyle.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One of my best CS memories was with my 1st surfer. We hiked into Haleakala crater and the expression on his face when he had his first look into the crater was priceless. It was great to help bring such a wonderful experience to a total stranger, and a new friend all at the same time.

The first host I had was Sonia in Barcelona, she lived on LaRambla right across the street from the most amazing farmers market I have ever seen!

Many other wonderful experiences that will be with me forever!
