****I live on BIG ISLAND or HAWAII ISLAND (not Oahu, not Waikiki!)

CURRENT MISSION

To lead a life of love for other humans and live life to its fullest adventure

ABOUT ME

Adventurous, thrill seeker, nature lover, a bit of a hippie, free spirit, energetic

I spend my time adventuring in nature, rock climbing, attempting to surf, hiking, rappelling waterfalls and snorkeling. I love any activity outdoors and enjoy the sun, sand and nature to being indoors.

I am interested in politics, law, human rights, social justice and culture. I have spent the majority of my life helping out the houseless, less fortunate and those living in poverty.

I love to travel! I've travelled to 40 countries, lived in 4 countries.

I cherish my friendships and believe I have some of the most amazing people in my life.

I believe the majority of people are good and have an incredibly love for humans and the world we live in.

I am a very happy person who loves kind people and fellow adventurers and social justice advocates.

PHILOSOPHY

To live life happy is a choice, to live life sad, angry etc is also a choice. I choose happiness. Life is beautiful!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: documentaries are my favorite. I also like comedies sometimes

Music: Foreign music, new music, indie music. Anything not mainstream

Books: I like classics the most. Dracula, Of Mice and Men, Scarlett Letter, are a few of my favorites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It is hard to separate one individual experience from all of the amazing experiences I've had and call it the best.

One of the most amazing things I've seen is standing at the base of a 400 foot waterfall as the water crashes on the canyon floor and a fine mist hits you. Its the most powerful feeling to be deep in a canyon miles from anyone under the most beautiful of nature's showers.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach community organizing, social justice organizing, gardening, mediation, legal work, rock climbing, leave no trace

I am willing to learn anything new and am excited about anything you're excited about! Teach me!
