Something interesting about yourself: I grew up in the very small town of Makaweli on the island of Kaua’i and come from a family of farmers, hunters and fishermen. I’ve been fortunate enough to have traveled extensively throughout Europe and the South Pacific; and I’m looking forward to visiting every country some day.
