I am a language teacher, novice jeweler, shell collector, and adventurer! I live in Honolulu, HI, and when I'm not teaching, I am diving with partner, Ed, or I am gardening, surfing, creating wearable art, doing yoga, hiking, or enjoying wine with friends in my beautiful island home of O'ahu.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So many of my friends did couch-surfing back in the day when I was a budget backpacker at their start in the early 2000s, and I was always interested yet never had a home to host. I decided to join this year to see if my partner and I can meet some great people on our trip to French Polynesia in May 2019 and hopefully return the favor one day when they come to Hawaii!!
