I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and moved to Maui in 2015. I am grateful to call this beautiful island my home now! I fell in love with the ocean, the land, and all the people. I am passionate about sailing and have been apart of a race crew on a J24 called Xterminator for over 2 years. I love the outdoors and hiking adventures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to expand my horizon and to meet and grow through meeting other individuals and sharing stories :)

Interests

Sailing had been an immediate passion I never knew I had until I lived near the ocean. That feeling I get when I'm surrounded by the ocean mass and the wind full sail, is absolute joy. I feel free and alive, while also anchored with a sense of serenity within myself and the world around me.

Not only do I like the sea, but I also love being grounded to the earth. Hiking is also an amazing journey in itself. I feel whimsical and connected to the world around me when I'm embraced by the outdoors. Being from the Pacific Northwest I have a deep root to mountains and forest of a kind.

I'm an artist full time at the moment. My main medium is Acrylic, however I find large charcoal drawings incredibly fullfilling. I've always drawn or painted (always doodling in class) for as long as I can remember. It has always been my number one way to express feelings and thoughts I may not be able to outwardly express through words and speech. If you want, check out my instagram @fefiexpressions I'm currently working on painting a sunset over the ocean with island Lana'i on the horizon.
