Description
My wife and I love to travel and explore new destinations. We have traveled to over thirty countries. We enjoy physical work and are all about helping others and encouraging them whether its in word or deed. We also appreciate getting to know new people and making new friends. As a musician, music makes me happy and for my wife, gardening, preparing food or enjoying nature are her happy places.

More details about your skills
Dennis has been in real estate and insurance industries in Hawaii for over 30 years but is now phasing out of that busy world. That aside, he's a musician (two professional CD's), drummer, dreamer and ukulele player and loves to play and watch soccer (futbol). Oh and he's a huge Beatles fan. He's been known to be an author, motivational and public speaker, religious education teacher and Youtuber.
Min is originally from China so speaks Mandarin as well as English. She has been a professional seamstress and had her own shop in China years ago. So when it comes to sewing or making things, she's great for that. The last twelve years she enjoys being a licensed and professional massage therapist. Swedish, Thai Stretching, cupping, walking on backs, pregnancy, hot stones, you name it, she does it. She's an amazing cook as well with Chinese food being her specialty. She loves getting her hands dirty and enjoys gardening immensely. That is her happy space in addition to working out regularly.
We are happy to help others improve their English and can also share some Hawaiian language, culture and music too having lived there for almost thirty years.

What else ...
We love hanging out with kids. Our four kids are all adults and there's no grandkids yet! We love to play all kinds of games whether it's basketball, soccer/futbol, tennis, padel, pickleball or any board games. We like playing Mexican Train (Dominoes), backgammon, chess and checkers. Dennis can talk about music all day if you let him and if anyone needs drum lessons, look no further!
We are blessed we are both in very good physical shape. We don't smoke and cannot be in proximity of others smoking as we are both allergic.
Dennis is an dreamer/entrepreneur at heart so has tons of ideas (some better than ideas) but as a lover of Beatles, is all about peace and love.
In the past we love to volunteer at our church community back in Hawaii serving on retreats. We love exploring new places and enjoy making new friends along the way.
