Description
Aloha! My wife and I met while volunteering on the west side of Oahu, and then spent three years living the backpacker life. Since meeting, we've travelled from Iceland to India and spent over a year in Australia/NZ. Now we've settled down, have two boys, and are happy to host others on their own journey through Hawaii!
We live on the windward side of Oahu in the idyllic town of Kailua. It's about a 5 min drive, 10 min bike ride, or 40 min walk to the beach. We love meeting people from all over the world and are excited to bring the world to us!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
A stay in Hawaii is unlike any other. Some think the island is small, but there are so many nooks and crannies to explore! We'd be happy to share what we've learned about the geological and cultural history of the island, while also learning more with you.
Help
What we'd like in exchange is help around the house, inside and outside. We have two young boys (ages 2 and 6) that keep us busy, so an extra hand for general maintenance (e.g., meal prep, gardening, cleaning) would be really helpful.
My wife is a stay-at-home mom, artist, and yoga instructor. You would mostly be helping her with various projects and activities. The schedule can be flexible, but a few hours per day is expected, mostly helping to prep meals, and clean around the house. We'll do our best to show you around the island and live like a local on the weekends. Two meals per day (lunch/dinner) are provided, or whenever you're assisting.
