three hour conversations

So for my three month stay here in Hawaii I am renting a room in a condo with three other random people… one of which was one of the most interesting people I’ve met here so far.  One of my Condo-mates who I share a bathroom, kitchen, and living room with is a woman in … Continue reading three hour conversations

how did i get here?

I realize that because I literally got the offer, accepted, and hopped on a plane within a time span of about ten days, not everyone really knows what I’m doing out here… so instead of explaining when people ask… I can just send them this url.
