About Me

I enjoy having a good time, laughing with friends, eating good food and relaxing when I get a chance.I work in Tourism & Hospitality and love it most of the time. I am able to share the Aloha Spirit with countless visitors every day. But my goal is to educate them more about the Hawaiian Culture and about our History. Ironically, I wish less would visit every year and I wish they would stop moving here! Waikiki and Hawai'i Nei are more than just coconut bras and cellophane grass skirts. We have a long road ahead of us, but I think soon we'll make them notice us and realize the truth...

My Interests

The Hawaiian Monarchy and the Hawaiian Culture in general. From Kamehameha Paiea to Lydia Kamaka'eha and everyone in between. Our Ali'i Nui had so much influence on our people then and many don't realize, but on us as a people today.
