Hi there!

I love to travel and want to see the world. I'm from Southern CA, and have lived in Japan, Boston, Hawaii, and now Northern CA. My friends are spread out all over the globe, which is wonderful in many ways. I believe in spreading the spirit of Aloha wherever I go.

I don't drink, but don't mind if you do. I don't smoke and say no to drugs. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Star gazing at the top of Mauna Kea - one of the highlights of my time on the Big Island of Hawaii. The stars were breathtaking, and the volcano was also visible in the distance. Our world is incredible!
