Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met an outgoing character at a convenience store (soon to be a friend) when my wife and I moved from Pahoa to Kailua-Kona (Hawai'i) a couple of months from when we were due to return stateside. We had no place to stay and he offered to let us stay for a few days in his Pacific-view condo. We slept on their lanai (balcony) for a few nights and I offered to pay them weekly for the inconvenience of us staying longer, and they accepted. We stayed there 9 weeks, walking distance to everything downtown, the bayfront, stores, free bus (for cruise-ship arrivees, though they never asked us) to bigger stores.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sitting on my board waiting for a wave, seeing the sun shine on the observatories on top of snow-capped Mauna Kea, while a whale was leaping with joy behind me.
