Aloha. I live in a separate house at the rear of the property with my puppies. You may see us on the street in the morning going for a walk. I fell in love with Hawaii in 2016 and have never looked back. I am an avid gardener and have transformed the property into a botanical garden. There is usually something fruiting and always exotic flowers in bloom for your enjoyment. If you would like to pick fruit let me know and I will let you know what is ripe. I ask guest not to pick the flowers. There is always something happening around the island and endless outdoor adventures. Transplant from Asbury Park New Jersey and New York City but grew up in Austin Texas. Practicing Zen Buddhist, avid gardener passionate about the environment and being a steward of the aina, land. LGBTQ friendly. My work schedule varies so depending on your travel plans I may have an opportunity to interact.
