Currently traveling in Maui, Hawaii for first time looking for potential spots in the second half of August and hopefully even find some possible longer term spots to come back to because I want to move here! Show me around if it pleases ya

To boldy go where I've yet to go before, or where I've already been, but with a new perspective. And to learn, grow and spread good tidings...

ABOUT ME

A little clarity here might be useful: I am adventurous and want to explore, but A bit of an Introvert(prefer socializing 1 on 1 or small groups & enjoy alone time - not antisocial ;) and have some health issues including Spontaneous Fatigue Syndrome!(I just made that up to describe this weird thing my body does) I also have Spontaneous Noise Syndrome(I obviously didn't make this one up!? - it's where noises of varying shapes and sized feel compelled to manifest through my mouth or other bodily gestures...sometimes in the form of speech!) I would love to spend time getting to know my hosts and their local areas.

Back in Hometown: Well, I been round hy'ah a while and will possibly make it round somewhere near where you're at before I die.
I like to drum, make music, noise, spin poi and occasionally do things extremely slowly. INFP (myers briggs)Typical introvert with extroverted tendencies - I'm a bit quiet or reserved often when I meet people for the first time, but once I get to blahblah you know the spiel . I try to meditate often though not always for very long and have turned many if not most of my activities into meditations. (work in progress)

PHILOSOPHY

Be and help others to be so as well: Self acceptance & acceptance of others

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've couch surfed little through this site, but have much experience couch surfing and hosting in general.

I had a place in Oakland that was somewhat of a crash pad for lotsa them there travelin' folks, though none ub'm through this hy'ah site. Also had a place in Jax that housed many friends and occasional strangers passing through.
I've couch surfed through this site only once technically with the incredibly amazing (YOWZERSWOWZERS) aka Serene where we went on a walk with John Francis who went on a 17 year vow of silence and didn't ride in gas powered ANYTHING for 23 years, good times.
I've couch surfed spots in Nashville, TN, Colorado, Virginia, Maryland and California, some in California & Virginia were long term surf spots 1 to 3 months! Had amazing times with great people that helped me get my feet wet with their local living 8)
Couch surfed in my home town also, though I don't know if anyone counts that? Trading good times, crazy antics and help around the house for places to stay.

Stories, energy, musical moments, beginner guitar/djembe/didge lessons(though on the Island I have none of these instruments with me currently so hopefully you do!), I do have an H4n handheld recorder I can record you or us with if that's of interest. Because of health issues/food limitations I have limited cooking experience(actually better @ making several things I can no longer eat than what I can eat!>)but am happy to do that or join in cooking a meal together or take you out to a reasonably priced eatery...general helping out around the house...
Surely there's plenty of other possibilities, tell me what would be good for you?
