Description
Hello! I’m Kai:) I will be traveling to Hawaii come May. During this time, my focus is on meditating and immersing myself in nature. I’m looking for a space where I can contribute to a vibrant community.
My Life Philosophy:
1) Stay positive and spread peace
2) Keep an open mind
3) Practice mindfulness
4) Respect others
I’m passionate about health, fitness, sports, music, creativity, and all things outdoors. Recently, I’ve discovered breath-work and am eager to continue practicing.
I have a deep fascination with people and places. Meeting new people energizes me; I love learning about different perspectives and hearing unique life stories. I thrive in communal environments and enjoy being part of a team. I’m excited to continue my journey through work-away experiences.
Travel Experience:
I have been to much of Western Europe, most of the United States, the Caribbean, Costa Rica, Indonesia, Guatemala, Canada, Australia, Fiji, New Zealand, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Morocco, Chile, Peru, Panama, Colombia, and Mexico.

Most of all, she brings a great energy to the place and because of that the guests enjoyed their stay more. If you get a chance to host Kailynn, you won't regret sharing experiences with her.

I have never felt more welcome in my life. The community here is lovely and you really get to
immerse yourself in the Filipino culture. And this is a perfect opportunity if you are interested in volunteer work with children. They are so loving and they deserve all the help they can receive. I highly recommend coming here!
