About Me

I've been in maui for over 3 years now, and I'm still not sure I feel like its a place I could call home. This island is a curse and a blessing at the same time. The island is beautiful but can make you feel lonely. The lifestyle here is slow paced but time flies by anyway. I miss city culture but not the crowds. I have many dreams and goals but realistically am too busy to focus on more than one at a time. I am overworked and underpaid. I am the youngest of four kids in the family but live the farthest from home. My brothers have an awesome band that I have very high hopes for. Music is a big part of my life. I love being random and trying new things. I love south side maui beaches. I love hanging out with good friends and family. I love meeting new people and always enjoy good conversation.
