Born and raised in Hawaii, grew up loving the ocean as the islands will always be home. Would love to spend the night in talking about whatever you're passionate about but also down for a spontaneous trip or music festival.

Went to college in Boston where I developed an interest in social enterprise and development. Ended up taking a year off regular school for a scholarship to do field research on orphanages on a program called Semester at Sea. This lead me to sailing around the world on a cruise ship with 500 other students. Had crazy experiences from camping in the Amazon rainforest, camel trekking through the Sahara, actual trekking in South East Asia, hitting up raves in Europe and learning about couch surfing!

Lived abroad a bit – worked in Tokyo and Munich, studied in Rome and Cambridge. Settled in Seattle at the moment where I work in strategy for a tech company. A dancer all my life, I now really love yoga as well as snowboarding and hiking. Vegetarian, but flexible about it when I travel ;).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Met amazing people from CS so far and really meeting cool people is the best part about travel...best part about life in gerneral

Dancing through a thunderstorm in Ghana - the storm took out the electricity, but the local villagers kept playing their drums as the rain picked up and we all danced together completely drenched
