Hello My name is Jessie Fonder and I'm from South Dakota. I'm going to school at the University of Hawaii, Hilo on an exchange program this semester. I love adventure and am open to many new things! I am a flexible person to live with and am very low maintenance! I prefer nature over the city and love hiking, kayaking, paddle boarding, and swimming.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surfing to look for a place to stay in Kauai over spring break! Also to meet some cool people who live in Kauai and have advice on what we need to experience while we are there. I don't want to go to the city to party on the beach like most people. I want to experience the culture of Hawaii and see the island's beauty. Kauai sounded like the best option for hiking, sight seeing, and doing anything outdoors.
