Hawaii, USA
Grade 12 – Full Year

I have come to this ship to have fun. I think it’s the coolest thing to be able to travel the world and not just learn about the places, but actually go to them. I love to travel, but never have had the time because of school. This program is perfect for me!

I have lived in Hawaii for about 13 years, and my hobbies include: surfing, camping, hiking, martial arts, acting, Greenpeace, kayaking, sailing, and photography. I go to Hilo High School and live in both Hilo and Pahoa on The Big Island. I work for my dad renovating a historic building in Hilo. Later in life I wish to be an engineer or a photo-journalist. My characteristics are: I’m blonde, 135 lbs, 6 foot, and handsome. My family: I have a dad (David), step-dad (Rich), mom (Peach), and a little sister named Shelby. I have four dogs, three cats, and one beautiful girlfriend named Emma.
