Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Room and board: typically a private bedroom, bathroom and tiny kitchen, living room and laundry, vegetarian food provided. Short walk to a sandy beach, bikes available, County bus service all around the island, bus stop about 2 blocks from the house. We like to adventure, and you will be invited: surfing, hiking, exploring and kayaking. Our success rate for teaching basic surf skills is high.

Accommodation
Separate entrance, hall connected bedroom, bathroom, Livingroom. Outside shower. There is a washer and a dryer, full kitchen and free wifi. Sometimes travelers accept sleeping on a couch and we have let travelers tent camp in the yard on occasion. Kitchen stocked with mostly vegetarian food, sorry we do not have mammal or bird flesh for consumption.

What else ...
Our home is quiet and peaceful, some moderate legal age alcohol consumption okay. No illegal intoxicants and no tobacco products allowed on the property. Travelers often take the bus to explore the island, and some found hitchhiking a good method of getting around. I do not suggest hitchhiking alone. The island offers incredible sightseeing from beaches to rain forests, waterfalls and caves.

I felt like home. He took me all around the island, showing me so many special places. I loved everything we saw and everything we did together—it was unforgettable.
It’s been 4 months since I left Kaua‘i, but I still miss it every day!
