LOOK HERE FIRST:

I get a ton of requests. Please be very aware of the fact that you'll sleep on a cushion on my floor. Please also be aware of the fact that my housemates aren't comfortable with you at my place without me there, so you need to be on your way for your daily adventure when I leave the house, which is at the earliest 5:45, and AT THE LATEST 6:25. Imagine yourself as an early riser, and you will maybe see yourself at my house. Weekends are different. Then, I rest in between my epic activities, so imagine yourself chilling while I nap and also surfing/hiking/yoga/ all the great shit to do here on island.

Finally, and this is important, I'm not here to cater to your schedule. I appreciate that you want to cement down your plans, but I'll likely accept within 3 days of a stay as my moods, whims, and desires ebb and flow like the tides, and most relevant to you, so does my availability. Please understand that I'll likely respond maybe; it's just the way it is for now. I truly want to help you out, but my energy limited!

Also, the blurb that is below is super out-dated; please refer to above note of limited energy. feel like i'm filling out profiles constantly, and i'm taking a break from keeping this one updated.

happy travels, and i'll help you if i can!!!🌈🌋⚡️
