ALOHA AND WELCOME TO MY SITE! here, i SHARE A GLIMPSE OF MY LIFE, PASSIONS, TRAVELS, STYLE, TASTE, WORK, EXPERIENCES AND INSPIRATIONS. I ALSO HOPE TO CONNECT WITH LIKE MINDS AND SHED SOME LIGHT IN SOME WAY, SHAPE OR FORM.

being BORN AND RAISED AT THE OCEANS EDGE IS SOMETHING I WILL NEVER TAKE FOR GRANTED. HAWAII IS TRULY PARADISE AND IM SO FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO CALL THIS SPECIAL PLACE, HOME. GROWING UP, THE BEACH WAS OUR BABYSITTER, PLAYGROUND AND CHURCH. Surfing HAS ALWAYS BEEN APART OF MY LIFE. GROWING UP, I’VE ALWAYS BEEN HEALTH CONSCIOUS and very active. Thanks to my parents, ME AND MY SIBLINGS WERE AWARE OF WHAT WAS FUEL FOR OUR BODIES AND WHAT WASN’T. I don’t follow Any dietS but i have been Plant bAsed + FRESH local caught FISH FOR MOST OF MY LIFE THANKS TO MY DAD who Has been a Pescatarian for majority of his life.

I didn't START MODELING until I WAS 15 and I CERTAINLY BEGAN ADAPTING TO THIS EVER CHANGING, growing INDUSTRY. MODELING HAS ALLOWED ME TO EXPLORE AND EXPERIENCE DIFFERENT CULTURES AND PARTS OF THE WORLD I'D NEVER IMAGINED I'D GO. WHEN I'M NOT TRAVELING, I'M LIVING in hawaii AND WHEN I'M NOT WORKING, I'M FOCUSING ON MY HEALTH AND WELLNESS AT HOME and running my eco vegaN PLANT BASED cafe @raisedbythewaves. ITS TRULY BEEN SUCH AN AMAZING JOURNEY SO FAR, FOLLOW MY BLOG TO SEE WHAT I’VE BEEN UP TO LATELY.

love + light
