About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Take risks, be free, and create joy in those around me.

ABOUT ME

I'm either working, traveling or broke, saving up for my next trip. I've spent a third of my life in New York, a third in California, and a third in Hawaii. When I have beach, mountains, and good people around me, I'm content.

PHILOSOPHY

"Be the change you'd like to see in the world"
-M.Gandhi

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted more than I've surfed, but I know one day it will all balance out..
I get 3-4 requests a day to surf my couch and I have surfers most of the time, and I do work full time. As much as I would like to, I don't have much time to show my guests around but I try my best! The way I participate is giving people a place to crash, but please have your own plans, transportation, and computer! One more thing..please be respectful to other surfers that need a place to stay. If you know you will not be keeping your plans to stay, let me know in advance! Don't just not show up. Another traveller could take your place and really appreciate it!
Thanks and Aloha!!
