About Me

Grew up in Hawaii. Got bit by the travel bug in Middle & High School while traveling with friends for Yo-Yo competitions. Yoyoing brought me from my little island to Chico, CA and Orlando, FL. I don't do that much anymore, but I still travel as much as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Getting acquainted with a place is best done through the people who live there, I've experienced time and time again, people who make traveling the best and I hope to meet and befriend as many people on this planet as I can. #shoutouttomypenpals

Also, I'm efficient AF and cost is definitely taken into consideration.

I can talk or work on projects related to any of the interests listed above. There's so much more, but those are the ones I've poured myself into.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saved two (human) lives from drowning in the ocean. I could write "skydive" or something cheesy like "swam with dolphins"

Teach, Learn, Share

Calligraphy is easily the biggest one people want me to teach them. I'm willing to learn about cooking, especially if it's your local culinary dishes. Share, love: but more than that, memories. (I document a lot with photos and videos and if we can make memories together, I'd love to create something that you can keep forever and share with me forever)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can write you a piece of art or poem in calligraphy with anything from a pointed pen, to brush pen, to a packet of ketchup.

But if you want, I'm pretty strong too, I can help you move stuff around. Haha.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Bahamas, Japan, Kiribati, Mexico, Philippines, United States
